Try, https://ardour.org. This was the initial DAW concept that MixBus was conceived from.

Ardour is only free if you have the time and knowhow to compile the source code yourself. If you want a ready built executable it isn't free although I believe you can pay as much or little as you want. 

Ready to run version of Ardour is right here >>  http://ardour.org/
 

Just download and run Ardour on your Linux, OS X or Windows computer.

If you keep clicking on that page, it gives you payment options when you go to downliad ready to run. Some of those options are as low as a dollar

This is what you see when you keep clicking:
Payment Choice

Your choice: $1, $4, $10 or $50 per month
Updates and downloads for as long as your subscription continues.
Access to our nightly (development) builds is included.

Single Payment
If you choose to pay less than US$45, you will get the current version and updates (e.g. buy version 5.0, get access to 5.1, 5.2, etc. but not 6.0).
If you choose to pay US$45 or more: get the current version, updates and the next major version, plus access to nightly (development) builds.

Free/Demo version
Periodically goes silent after 10 minutes.
No access to nightly (development) builds.

Like Reaper there is a degree of honor involved since it isbprobably easy to bypass even monthly dollar payement, but my point is they do not list themselves as freeware
