Zoom undo (“Toggle zoom state”) is only a toggle. This data also works before automation as well. This feature allows you to quickly make edits to the volume of portions of regions very quickly without fussing with automation. I covered automatic range editing already, but I’m going to mention it here. I also did not measure any distortions or noise present during the fades, which is still an issue in some DAWs in 2017. Mixbus certainly does not have the powerhouse suite of fade tools present in some other DAWs, but the simplicity and ease of access to the tools it has are excellent. There’s edit point based commands for setting fade-in/out or creating fades based on time selections, which is fantastic. Rarely is that an issue except on very long fades that are probably better written as automation, or in combination with automation. There’s 5 quick fade types (Linear, Constant Power, Symmetric, Slow, Fast), but no fade editor. At the bottom corners of every region is a fade handle that creates a fade or crossfade and adjusts the region boundaries. There are fade handles on the top corners of every audio region that create a fade or crossfade without changing the region boundaries. Mixbus has fades and crossfades like any DAW, however it does make using fades a bit easier than most. Your browser does not support the video tag. Yes, some people can work that fast, and Mixbus’s editing capabilities support that. If you haven’t, then just imagine tippity-tapping on your keyboard as if you’re writing a letter to someone, except each key press represents an editing action or an edit-point movement. If you’ve ever watched a world-class editor in a nashville editing suite (Pro Tools, usually in Keyboard Focus Mode), then you know how incredibly useful this workflow is. A fluent use of these playhead movement commands allows the users to edit very quickly without the ‘point and search’ mouse-based workflow. Playhead to mouse, Playhead to mark, Playhead to Next Grid, Playhead to next Region Boundary, Move to Next Transient, etc… and many variations. The playhead mode allows you to take advantage of a number of ways of moving the playhead. You simply position your cursor and press the corresponding shortcut for an edit point based action. The mouse is obvious, but with the non-obvious benefit of not having to click to activate a command.
The mouse or the playhead can be the edit point in Mixbus.
Pressing a shortcut to act on the current edit point is another key element in fast editing, but what is an edit point? I love editing shortcuts like “Trim start at edit point”, “Trim end at edit point”, “Range start” and “Range finish”. Having done probably millions of edits myself (working on large multitracked drum sample libraries) and watched other very taleneted audio editor work, I feel fairly confident in this claim. There’s a command to cycle the zoom command.Ĭommon zoom features like zoom in/out are available, however these 3 functions listed I feel are the core to efficient audio editing. You can set the zoom center to: left of screen, right of screen, center of screen, playhead, mouse and edit point. Zoom focus - When using the + and - keys to zoom, the center of that zooming action is easily set in Mixbus.Zoom undo (“Toggle zoom state”) - switches between your last and most recent zoom state both horizontally and vertically.
Double click to zoom to selection is also an option.
