My guest today is Ben Loftis the product manager for the Harrison's workstation products. He is also an all-around developer, and partner in the company. From its Nashville, Tennessee facilities, Harrison designs, manufactures and markets large-format, professional audio mixing consoles for international film and television production, post-production, broadcasting, sound reinforcement and music recording markets. Harrison also makes a unique digital audio workstation, The MixBus 32C, following an analog paradigm that embodies form, function, and sound. Where other DAWs might use a computer paradigm, MIXBUS grows from Harrisonʼs distinguished 40-year heritage of platinum records, such as Michael Jackson's Thriller, Paul Simon's Graceland, and the blockbuster film Spider-Man to name a few. MIXBUS is the first full-featured DAW with true analog style mixing. Get full show notes at RecordingStudioRockstars.com Get over two hours of FREE Mix Training, Multitracks, and eBook at...
