i think my personal favorite is Airwindows with the Desk and Busscolors plugs. it's pretty subtle, but it does add something. I've used the VCC also and tho i can't compare to MixBus, it has a nice effect when used on an entire mix. the option exists to mix stems out of your usual DAW and import to Mixbus, or i believe you can route audio out of your own DAW straight into Harrison in real time.) i'm not an expert at all on it, it's something you gotta take a little time to figure out. now it seems to work fine, but i don't got the patience for it.
#Reaper vs mixbus pro
the whole product seems a little haphazard, it took a few versions before it even stopped crashing on startup ( i have a mac pro on 10.5.8). i don't feel like they provided enough documentation at all. Personally, i paid for the harrison but the hassle of learning the new workflow stopped me from ever actually mixing in it.

Not a strange question, both products seem to aim for a similar effect. Or maybe just looking for any experience using a combination of the two.

mixing entirely in Harrison's Mixbus without using VCC

i would assume that the poster knew what type of product each was and was asking if anyone had used both and could compare the results ofġ. So depends whether you're happy changing DAWs or not.i don't think it's out of line at all. Harrison MB is a complete DAW that would replace Pro Tools / Logic / Reaper etc and has it's own 'VCC' built in to every channel and bus, emulating the performance characteristics of the Harrison consoles. The VCC is a plugin which is inserted onto each channel in Pro Tools / Logic / Reaper etc and then one onto the main bus, and together they will emulate the performance characteristics of an SSL, Neve, API or Trident. ENTIRELY different products!! Have you even researched this?
