Being able to create and manage chains of effects and mix and match within a dedicated rack system works well and means less clutter as well as quick saving and recall of setups. Workflow is excellent, with a clever and easy to use interface, and the effects sound superb. They cover practically anything you could want to achieve in terms of mixing, and there are a few all-new reverb algorithms thrown in that you won’t find elsewhere. The individual modules - which are beautifully designed and presented - have a small number of their own presets too, which can be accessed by toggling the preset menu at the base of the main window. Running as a plug-in, you are limited to a single rack of 8 processors per instance though you are of course free to call up more than one instance of MixBox to get around this. So you can use the application in standalone mode as a live mixer, taking and processing multiple channels of sound then outputting it again. The same is true of inputs, with each rack able to accept audio in from dedicated hardware channels. Each one can send sound to a different output pair, which you specify in the preferences. The standalone application has 8 racks, each of which can hold up to 8 processors for a maximum of 64 at any one time. There’s a full list on the website but they cover Dynamics, EQs, Filters, Modulation, Channel Strips, Saturation, Reverbs, Delays, Distortion and Amps. It features 70 plug-ins split across a range of categories and derived from the company’s T-RackS, AmpliTube and SampleTank collections. ![]() ![]() MixBox runs as a standalone application and as a plug-in, with one important difference we’ll come to in a second. That’s partly what IK has done here but they have also added a dedicated container for using and managing those plugs so that your dropdowns don’t become more cluttered than they already are. There can come a point where some developers have such a wealth of plug-ins that they choose to offer them as a bundle in one form or another. ![]()
