The comparison performed is not strictly speaking « scientifically based ». Treatment with MixBus has been performed without the compressor. Hereafter are 2 different sound samples on which identical values have been applied using the MixBus’s EQ and the Universal Audio version. Let’s now jump of the most relevant aspect to be considered : the sound. One may argue that an audio engineer should not perform an equalization based on numbers, however, it seems obvious that having the numerical values displayed would be of large interest especially when ones deals with the MixBus that have very small pots. The fact that both MixBus 32C and UAD do not display neither the frequency selected nor the gain represents a « evident disadvantage ». The pictures above represent the "real" size of the plugins window as they appear on a 24 inches display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Those features make a real difference between the two.

Obviously, MixBus consists of the whole channel-strip in a full software (and is not restricted to the EQ), while the UAD-2 plugin offers a simple EQ.
The layout is displayed horizontally and show a lot more details. Nowadays, the larger size of the Universal Audio’s Plugin constitutes an asset. The 2 versions represent both the original hardware console. The Universal Audio version of this specific EQ is based on the technical specifications of the personal console owned by the famous Bruce Swedien himself ! (Mick Jagger, Duke Ellington, Donna Summer, B.B. This post describes the EQ only since Universal Audio has not released an emulation of the originally associated compressor present on the console’s channel-strip. The main difference (the only one ?) found consists in the emulation of the famous channel-strip of the Harrison mythical console. Harrison has released a special version of its software Mixbus, renamed Mixbus 32C.
