Hi,
No trying to deliver any truth ,I am kind of respectfull with all of thoose very nice forum members here.
Just to say that,according to me,Mixbus is in noway built with the mind of being able to compose or create anything ,for me it is a kind of mixing-mastering tool ,though with the opportunity to change a snare hit here and there if you need it,
I am struggling with Ardour to be able to built an easy drum part , and it has nothing to see with fun,but with trial and errors ,I can see that I can reach more or less my goal with it.
The limitations I am confronted with,for me ,sound like a kind of challenge( ....Do I really need this velocity curve on the hi-hat ?)....)
But at the end I am able to feed my needs with Ardour.
The possibility to go back and forth from Ardour to Mixbus is for me a strength and ,compared to Sonar ,the plus is the stability,the minus is all the great facilities Sonar could offer( lasso editing,piano roll and so on..)
For me there should be a couple with an super Ardour digital workstation followed by the mixing stage supported by Mixbus.
All that offering the possibility to switch on Linux when Windows looses its head.....
Just old man thoughts...
Cheers.
Olivier
