I tried the link above using internet explorer and it threw and error and then the "add to cart" button did not show up on the product page. Once I tried it in firefox then it worked fine and the orange add to cart button showed up properly.

Ahh!  Thanks bapu!
 
I wonder if anyone has had any luck getting it to work the other way (Sonar into Mixbus.)

Yep. It works both ways. I inserted stereo tracks in Mixbus and set their inputs. Set my drum bus OUTS in Sonar to an OUT and patched that to the in selected in Mixbus. It worked perfectly. This is very handy. I can even patch out of Sonar into Mixbus and back into Sonar. 

Thanks for the reply Southpaw.  Are you talking about software patching with Jack, or hardware patching with multiple interfaces?  I'm interested in routing everything through software, but I don't seem to see the ports I need to assign using Jack and Mixbus.  I'm usually not so easily confused! :)

Kenn,
What are you using for an interface? I have a MOTU Track 16 with a Focusrite Octo Dynamic connected via ADAT. I simply select the output for track in Sonar I want to send to Mixbus. In MB I select the input and yer off. I do physically patch the I/O via a patchbay. I don't think Jack is full featured for Windows. I might be wrong about that but I think it's a Mac thingy.

Harrison Mixbus is Ardour + inline Plugs. Ardour is free and something I have used for more than a 2 years?
 
I know that everyone here is in it for the plugins, but I thought I should point out that this is mostly Ardour. With Ardour on Windows you could use all your Sonar Plugins.
 
So this means that if you want to see how a different daw impacts your workflow and creativity, you don't have to pay the $20 USD. The $20 is for the EQs and Compressor. And, btw, there are EQs and Compressors free with Ardour. A number of interesting ones.

Thanks, Cclarry. i wasn't meaning to diss MixBus. I was saying that if you want to play with a very similar DAW, Adour3 is freely available. I didn't realize it can't be run on Windows. I use it on Linux. When I use Windows, I use Sonar.
 
I like having a handy Linux tool for recording.
 
I wonder if maybe I'm trying to justify not spending the $20 for MixBus.

Well I broke down and got MB. Last day today for the $20 sale.

I gotta say, I was very dubious with all the usual, it has this "sound," lamentations that were flying about the web.
 
Though after figuring, eh it's 20 bucks and buying the thing?!! At first I thought I was suffering from cockstruckdom. Like the first go, always seems exciting because you haven't been there before and your senses are primed to overload, no matter what. But after giving it a few spins over the last two days? I'm finding that the reviews saying it's easy to find a good sound quickly, weren't lying!
 
Comparing this to other programs, in all honestly isn't a huge difference. But it's definitely there in terms of thickness and clarity. The biggest point isn't really the final sound, but how quickly you arrive at that point, that kind of makes the difference.
 
Ultimately for 20 bucks? I feel like I ripped them off... And I feel that, that is the true sign that you've made a good purchase!!!
 
PS: I have had the joy (???) of utilising the destructive editing feature and was hit by a tsunami of nightmares from my 16 track Tascam digital recording days! Dear god I just want to polish a turd! Why won't you let me polish my faeces!!!
