iOS game changer

With all the tools this has, and replications, it’s a major steal at this price point. The presets, and versatility each plug in has makes it a game changer for iOS production. I’ve found myself looking for emulations like some desktop versions, just to realize those are within this, 10/10 recommend.

Edited because they fixed saving. Excellent

Edit , upgraded review because saving is fixed.
Much improved with saving and export options IK has finally paid attention to the IOS version.

Edit : so after contacting IK they said there was going to be an update for the save issue, 6 months later nothing.

Want to buy the full version , but at the moment I won’t, as when you save you get no option to type in a preset name. You can make new folders but it won’t let you name a preset file. The only option is to save and it calls it ‘preset’ If you go to delete a preset it will , but as soon as you touch the preset name window afterwards the app closes / crashes. Glad I didn’t pay out for the full version , frustrating as it is excellent.

Shady developer!

If you buy their $79 “upgrade” , be warned: IK has a habit of delisting software, removing access to functionality you paid for and relisting the same thing at a new price.

They did this once already with Mixbox — charging us $40 for it, a version that had all the same effects and AUV3 support. Shortly after, they removed this paid version from the store.. listed a new free version without AUV3 and expect us to pay again for what we already paid for.

Issues with Logic

This is such a great app, but please address the issue with utilising multiple instances in a project in Logic. Namely, presets randomly not saving. The full version with Sunset reverbs costs £100, so this isn’t an impulse buy by any stretch. You need to sort this out or make it clear that the premier DAW in the iPad isn’t supported.

Great!

I love this and have been using it for a few years now! Any chance we can get T-racks for iPad soon or an update of MixBox CS with new Compressors and EQs added? How about a link feature that turns multiple instances across tracks into a full on console and does it in a way that is easy on cpu? We could really settle the G.O.A.T iOS Auv3 debate right there 😎

To The Potential buyer!

Charging effin 20 dollars for this cheap reverb modules, oh dear lord, this is not even comes close to the Original Sunset Reverb, oh my god, this corporation is like infesting and dear lord ripping out gullible people emptying their pockets! Why, is this on AppStore, Steve Jobs would ban this corporation, it’s not a musical patron, corporate benefit grabber, Jobs would hate their philosophy as Jobs is the only guy who did not do business, he created a vision for the people to expand their inner virtues,

And here comes IK, god, my dollars, even if the earth would get destroyed, I’m not getting the refund!
After 100 years, there would not be any one to remember this shallow existence of this corporation! Shame!

IK has tainted its soul since the priority of this corporate money grabbing entity is not the music or the musician anymore. Don’t get fooled by its fake tagline “musician first”, the original one is “musician with money first”.
My apologies for being truthful and be absolute frank.

Even IK ‘ s Full Version of MixBox doesn’t contain “Sunset Reverb”, should be purchased separately, how low a corporation may stoop to justf for emptying it’s customers pockets so badly! lol.

Someday this aggressive philosophy of financial gain would come back to pay back the debt. The world is round , nah?

the worst blunder in history since the reign of J,Stallin.

just lost the soul to be a human rather than a machine.

Fab could crush these toys with just breathe.

Why is the purchase called “full” if it doesn’t come with the Sunset reverb???

At the VERY least the description for the purchase should very specifically say that the Sunset reverb is NOT included so that we could know before paying money. Though this sort of thing has happened before with IKMultimedia in the past where they do something that is a bit sketchy to get a little extra money from people who are already customers. : ( kinda bummed about this nonsense.

UPDATE: Still very annoyed that they even have pictures showing the Sunset Sound effect units but it is not included. That’s pretty scammy, but i’ve known this company to do scammy type stuff before. Grrrrr.

Saving Presets

Not able to edit or save the naming of presets anymore 🤔with QWERTY keyboard…..

Crashes/Not loading in Logic Pro

I have had this plugin suite since its arrival. I’ve used it in various projects and have been trying to use it extensively within Logic Pro for an entire album project I’m currently working on and it keeps failing me. Sometimes it loads the rack but no modules when I open my project. Sometimes the project will crash and when I reopen it, it’s just empty racks on everything, or sometimes just one or two. I’ve tried to combat this problem by saving presets, but if I hit save within logic, it doesn’t save it to MixBox with the current settings. After all this happening again and again I’ve decided to use other plugins, which is setting back this project a great deal. It’s a shame because when MixBox is actually loading and working it sounds great. Please fix this. I really want to use your great sounding plugins.

Why did I pay so much for this?

I’m pretty sure that the thing I paid for, which was about 40 quid, had a lot more than it does now… I want to either see a full refund or full upgrade. Not buying from this firm again till that happens.

Logic Pro NOT officially supported.

After a back and forth with IK concerning an intermittent problem where state settings involving multiple instances of MixBus AU3 are NOT being saved, I received the following.

‘Thank you; we will pass this information on to our testing teams; however we should note; while Logic Pro can utilize the AU version of Mixbox; we are currently not supporting that particular mobile DAW but this guidance may have changed.’

So IK’s not inexpensive app is unsupported on Apple’s flagship DAW. Either Apple are unaware of this, or neither company wants to take responsibility. Yet both are happy to take customers money. Presumably on the basis of ‘it might work, but nobody is willing to guarantee that. Buyer beware.’

It’s disappointing. Since I’ve had Logic Pro for iPad MixBox has become my most used plug-in. But now I discover that neither company feels obliged to make sure it actually works! IK’s lack of support, therefore, should be clearly stated up front so that prospective customers do not buy a product for use with Logic, expecting it to work and any bugs to be squashed in timely fashion.

Amazing

I was a bit worried when I read the other reviews of 1 star. Although the app blew my mind in demo version on AUM. So, I purchased the full package and it works…thank you! This app renders lots of my existing ones useless…it’s absolutely fantastic.

Incredibly greedy, let us use family sharing!

$80+ and you think I’m going to buy for each member of my family that wants to use it to play music together?

Incredibly shortsighted and greedy strategy, boys. I think you ran the numbers wrong.

Eventide and FabFilter and many others (Actual pro grade developers) offer much more for less and allow family sharing. And cheaper apps comparable to yours are punching way above their weight.

What is your excuse?

I’ll be sure not to buy any more of your apps or peripherals from now on.

The most cunning business entity in the universe

Beware potential mates- don’t except to get the sunset modules,
Even after paying in full, it will not provide you the sunset pack.

If you’ve read the title, it’s enough, In the AppStore it said the full version would cost only around 80 dollars! After that they’ve come up with the idea of an SE version, 59 dollars. The twist is, after paying for the full 80 dollars, hard earned with sweat dripping from your forehead, you do not get the Sunset Module, that would not be included in the full version, such a fool I were, to consider full version would consist all modules. Look at ToneStack, one of the most respected developers, just for 59 dollars, they’ve given you so much modules that it would take you months to explore. Look at what IK Multimedia did, refurbished old tracks bundles, compressed them, selling to the gullible iOS community. Integrity, transparency doesn’t exist anymore in Mr. IK Multimedia’s business dictionary. I hope you spend those Full Version, SE Version, Sunset Versiom to support the family, wish you health and happiness and wealth. Ohh, you already have the last one. Check Out Red Rock Sounds and OscAudios releases, trust me, you’ll be surprised at what they have done for you and us. Thank you so much IK. Keep discovering new ways to make ventures, not updating the app in years. Regards. P.s. the way you are going ahead, I’m a bit worried about the future, wouldn’t last long though.

The best

The best effect collection on iOS. All that’s needed for great mixes in a well designed package. A joy to use with its great interface. What I’d like next as in app purchase is the Tape plugin.
