FYI: there is a new Mixbus Interim release available today; it is version #2257. If you are registered on the Harrison Mixbus support site and own Mixbus3 you can download over on their site. Here is what they list for changes:
Interim build 2257 includes over 1,400 changes since the initial 3.0 release. A selection of notable changes is listed below:
Windows-specific fixes:
Fixed session loading for VST plugins that store lots of settings data (such as Bliss sampler)
When scanning VST plugins, make a note in the log if the DLL is 32bit or 64bit (this helps with troubleshooting)
General fixes:
Fix audible "glitches" when automating the channelstrip pan knob
Fix plugin latency calculation so it works when locating or looping; not just with an explicit stop/play
Fix "playhead-to-next-transient" ( i.e. Tab-to-Transient ) feature. This feature wasn't working.
Fix "select all {before,after} edit point". This feature wasn't working.
Various "solo" fixes ( grouped solos, mixbus solos, stuck solos, "Clear Solos", etc )
Various locale (non-English language) fixes
Fix looped audio recording (make sure to capture all of the region from the last-completed loop)
Enlarge the channelstrip indicator lights with small mixer-strip scale (makes indicators more visible on small monitors)
Backup sessions are saved with the ".ardour" extension so they are recognized as snapshots without being renamed
Various improvements to the Audio Engine dialog, and more meaningful error reports when the audio engine fails to start
Louder 'click' (metronome) sound
Disable "Strip Silence" and "Rhythm Ferret" for midi regions.
Fix problem when importing tracks called "Click" or "Monitor" which conflicted with the internal Click & Monitor channels.
On a new session, only show mixbuses 1-4. (problem introduced in #1970)
Fix a crash when reordering tracks using the Ctrl+arrow method. (problem introduced in #1970)
Sort ports in the XML file. This allows version-tracking software to manage versions more cleanly (e.g. session file in git).
Hiding and showing tracks could result in the wrong group "tab" displays. This has been fixed.
Track creation could fail if you previously made a new track and then immediately deleted it. This has been fixed.
