I get blips also.

We're not getting any younger.

I know that. I'm 394 years old!

ALERT! I installed the 32 bit version this morning after running the 64 bit version of mixbus 3 thru the ringer all day yesterday! WHAM! The 32 bit version wrecked the 64 bit version! Something happened to the video player in the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version would not iinitialize!
I immediately uninstalled the 32 bit but the damage was already done to the 64! I ended up having to completely uninstall 64 and reinstall. All is good now but it was rather scary for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Since my plug in licenses are on the laptop(with 2.5) and I want to figure that out. How to get them or the licenses on to the desktop PC.  I'll only do the 64 bit, on the desktop.
Seems like not being in a rush is crucial! LOL

Here is some more info on midi on Mixbus.  I have played more with it, and while it works reasonably well, it is not really a complex midi sequencer.  It is fine for adding some midi, but I do not see it replacing Sonar or even Studio One for heavy midi track routing.  Then, today I just noticed that one of the Harrison tech persons just confirmed this over on their Mixbus forum when asked about midi workflow.  This is what the Harrison tech said:  
 
"Mixbus is not intended to be a "MIDI sequencer" or an arranger. Instead it is optimized to record, edit, mix and master "real" audio.
 
However, even very audio-centric recordists "occasionally" want some MIDI and virtual instruments. Mixbus is going to work really great for that kind of person.
 
If you're into film scoring, you'll probably want to use something else for MIDI sequencing, and then use Mixbus to mix the tracks into a polished deliverable."
 End of quote.
 
Again, midi does work (and works well), but I will probably still use Sonar for most of my more intense midi projects, but if I just need to add a couple of midi tracks here and there, then Mixbus sees designed for that.  Perhaps others with more use of it can add to this, or correct this and give their experience.

Sometimes it crashes. :-( It may be reacting to Zoomtext though. I am loving the EQ! I've only tried stock FX and they're working great. Mostly I'm just learning to get around the program working on a master. I think I'll only ever use this program for mastering.

So far, here are the VSTi's that I have not been able to get to work in Mixbus3 (64bit):
Ezkeys (crashes mixbus)
SampleTank3 (crashes mixbus)
Rapture Pro (crashes mixbus)  [Dim Pro works fine]
 
I have not tried all my vsti's but I went through most and they worked fine.  Strange that Ezkeys did not work, but Ezdrummer and Superior Drummer worked.
 
 
So far have not been able to get Ozone 4 or Ozone 5 to show up; they scan, but do not show up in the plugin list.  I am still working through the audio fx vsts, but so far only these two don't show.

If I ever have a problem with Toontrack and that is hardly ever, it's with EZ Keys. I know this doesn't help with your problem but thought I could address the side issue. I wish I knew why so I could help.

The "home" folder is just your named folder in the users folder. I did a search and found out.

Thanks guys. Scott Garrigus told me how that works so, I am good to go, though a little cautious with all the issues listed above!
 
There actually isn't a folder there called Home on my desktop, but I know where to put it. My FX Essentials license is in the same place on the laptop (Windows 7).

Thanks! This helps a lot.

I have just got Mixbus V3 installed.  I am running the 64 bit version on Win 7.  It is all running OK but still a little glitchy here and there. Crashes around changing audio buffer settings, opening and closing too.
 
PSP Xenon does not run inside Mixbus 3 at all well.  There is something seriously wrong. Xenon is perfect for me inside other DAW's (SOP)  But inside MB3 it only seems to be working on the left channel which is not much chop.  Also it sounds like an out of phase sound with half the music missing and hollow, pretty weird.  When you bypass it all is normal again.
 
I have quite a few of their plugins and they all work fine.  Does not like Xenon right now for me anyway.  I have alerted them to it in case they don't know.  I bet an update will come out soon with some fixes hopefully this being one because I cannot use it all now as it is.
 
Other third party plugs work fine. I have the Nomal Pultec EQ and it is functioning normally inside Mixbus.  I like Mixbus for mastering in some situations genre wise.  I am about to master a more acoustic rock sound album so I think it will be perfect for it.
 

MB3 crashes constantly for me. Splitting clips, closing, opening a session,etc... I can't use it in the current state it's in. I have 3 other DAWS installed on my audio PC and they all work perfectly fine. Also, ezkeys crashes MB3 instantly. I'm in touch with tech support about this, but was told that the problems I am having have not been reported by anyone else? Hope they fix this thing and soon.

I think I'll wait to upgrade....see if these issues get resolved. I'm grateful for this thread. Thanks to all!

It certainly is not unusable for me. Once it settles down and I have got it working I can work for hours on it without issues.  But there are a few things that need to be addressed for sure. Xenon being one for me as I do like it as the last mastering processor.
 
There are the good things. The signal flow is a lot more interesting now and the sound of it might be for the better too. Have not tested it yet on that front but am about to.

I haven't installed it yet, but am watching and hoping it'll all get sorted. I, too have Xenon, Jeff, so please post if you find a work around.
I'm glad to have it and am glad that I'm not in a hurry to use it! LOL
