Just got the Mixmaster back in my studio. I found myself smiling a lot when using it. No it's not a high end piece of gear with tons of flexibility, but it does make mixes sound a little more analog sounding, polished, and it gels the music quite well. I am using it in Wavelab as an external effect. I find I use my Langevin Mini Massive for high's and lows and the Mixmaster for the mid's if needed. The nicest thing of course is the optic compressor. Still I would love a Manley MU instead.
