Harrison Labs MIXBUS V2.0.2 - Manual (Page 56)

Layering
Every region in a playlist has a "layering order" which defines the stacking order of regions. The topmost region is
the one that is seen and heard. See section 15.0 Editing Tools & Modes for more information on layering.
• Automatic (Later is Higher): (default OFF) This is the most "automatic" mode. In this mode, the later region (in
time) is always a higher layer. This works well for simple cases but does not allow manual tweaks when layering
does not work for you.
• Semi-Auto (Last Moved/Added is Higher): (default OFF) In this mode the last added or moved region is
always brought to the top layer. Additional changes may be done manually.
• Manual (Most Recently Added is Higher) (default ON): This is the most manual method. Newest regions are
always highest, dragging a region does not change it's layering, and the only changes to layering must be done
manually.
Performance
• Stop Plug-ins With Transport: Plug-ins will be disabled when the transport is not rolling. This reduces cpu
load when you are not actively playing. Not recommended.
• Do Not Run Plug-ins While Recording: Reduces CPU load when recording but plug-ins cannot be heard. Not
recommended.
• Denormal Handling: These options are sometimes used to fix and/or troubleshoot troublesome plug-ins. Only
use this option when directed to by Harrison Consoles.
Misc. Options
Seamless Looping
Seamless looping creates a crossfade on all tracks between the end and the start of the loop. This causes a CPU
spike at the end of a loop, but it is recommended if clicks during loops are troublesome.
Use OSC (OSX / Linux only)
Accept commands via OSC (Open Sound Control, an ethernet-based remote control protocol).
New Plugins are Active
If this is enabled then a newly-added plug-in will be immediately active after instantiation.
Rec-enable stays engaged at stop
Normally, the master Rec enable is disengaged when the Transport is stoped and it must be re-enabled before
recording again. If this option is enabled, the Master Rec enable will not be disengaged by Mixbus.
Region Equivalents overlap
Normally, if two tracks are put in an Edit group, and you grab a region on one track, you will only select a region on
the grouped track(s) if they have EXACTLY the same start and stop times (i.e. the tracks have been edited identical-
ly). If this option is enabled then a click in one track will select any regions that overlap that time on the grouped
tracks.
Periodic Safety backups
If this option is enabled then Mixbus will store a backup of your session approximately every 5 minutes. There is
only one backup file.
Verify Remove Last Capture
If this is turned on, Mixbus will prompt to make sure you want to delete the last capture (a destructive event).
Stop Recording on Xrun
Xruns are caused by the computer being unable to keep up with the soundcard. If this option is ON, Mixbus will stop
recording whenever an xrun is encountered so that the user can re-take the recording without glitches. For long-
form recordings it is probably more important to catch as much as possible so this option should be left OFF.
