Our friends over at Audio Plugin Deals are currently offering the Mixbox SE effects suite from IK Multimedia, for absolutely free for the next few days.
They have actually done this giveaway before, I’ve personally got Mixbox SE through them for free. But if you’ve missed it before, now is a great time to grab this fantastic plugin.
You can think of Mixbox as a host for a whole bunch of rack effects. Mixbox includes a whopping 70 FX modules and normally sells for $99.
Mixbox SE (or Special Edition) contains only 24 out of the 70 FX but still gives you a lot of sounds to explore.
It normally comes free with select IK Multimedia hardware, but with the current promotion at Audio Plugin Deals, you can grab it for free without buying any gear!
All 24 of these FX are taken from IK Multimedia’s T-RackS, SampleTank, and Amplitube. And if you’ve used these plugins before, you’ll feel right at home with Mixbox SE.
Let’s take a look at the included FX: there are 4 amps, which are inspired by the likes of Marshall and Ampeg.
There’s a channel strip and a digital delay with a few different modes, as well as 3 different reverbs: Ambience, Plate Reverb, and Digital Reverb.
You get 2 different distortions. One with 5 different clipping modes, as well as a Lofi effect which seems to be a bit crusher. There’s also a Saturator-X with multiple tube and tape saturation emulations.
Mixbox SE has a parametric EQ as well as 3 compressors: British Dynamics, White LA, and Limiter.
Lastly, there are 3 filters (Env Filter, Filter Phaser, and Wah 47) and 5 different modulation FXs (Chorus, Electric Flanger, Ensemble, Phaser, and Slicer).
Given that these FX are simplified versions of IK Multimedia plugins, they might be more limited in terms of controls, but still sound fantastic.
Mixbox SE can host up to 8 of the included effects simultaneously, which will give you a lot of sonic possibilities. It has over 130 presets to choose from to inspire you when using it.
Finally, you get a volume fader as well as a dry/wet control for each rack space. This will certainly come in handy for gain staging and dialing in each effect.
Mixbox SE runs as a VST2, VST3, AU, or AAX plugin on Windows and macOS machines.
