What it is

Mixbus 32C is built on Ardour and adds Harrison's 32C console emulation. Often used in dialogue post for its analog-flavor signal path plus the same VST3 / LV2 AI-plugin compatibility.

Best for: Post mixers who want a console workflow + plugin ecosystem for dialogue cleanup.
Watch out for: AI features depend entirely on hosted plugins.
