They've copied the Sonar FX chains idea and added some unique twists.

In what way? They've  had  FXChains for a while.

If the upgrade price is NOT $49, I'm not in for this one.
 
Probably $99 or $149?

upgrade purchase, download, install/activation just took me less than 3 minutes! (not including the new content, that's still downloading)
the core app is only a 90 meg download...
it picked up and migrated all my settings from v2
i loaded the last track i was working on in v2 and it just works
some lessons could be learned i think...

Yep, I just dl'd & installed the demo.
Very fast, off to test & check it out.

MB3 is the tool I'm looking forward to. Not so much for it's DAW features but when it's out as 64bit I can finally eliminate all 32bit plugs from my system and use it for final mix/master on that Harrison console.

me too, though i've already been pure x64 for about 5 years now! at least, i seem to recall it was around the time just before live8 did their x64 beta cause i was thinking i'd have to let that go so what to do with the apc40? is that 5 years yet?

After an exceptionally quick and easy demo install, when I opened a project I thought I'd mistakenly downloaded Logic X.  :-)
 
Some cool new features and content, but the upgrade price -- $149 for the Professional version, if I'm reading it right -- doesn't exactly make it a no-brainer, does it?  No worries ... there will undoubtedly be a sale in due course.
 
Like Bapu, I'm really looking forward to the next version of Harrison Mixbus.  Hopefully it'll be a little more stable than the current one.
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 

While I may upgrade to v3 eventually, I am definitely going to wait for now.  Studio One is my alternate to Sonar Platinum.  To be honest, Studio One 2 is working great for me when I choose to use it, and for now I do not have a need to upgrade.  Like others here, I am more interested in Mixbus 3 and will spend money on it first.

Hmmm, going purely on appearance it looks so much nicer than Sonar, but........
 
having never tried it, can anyone tell me if it is possible to have the console view on it's own on a second screen ? I see that the marketing blurb says it supports mulitple monitors, but I didn't see anything showing how it can be laid out. I can't stand having track view and console view it all squashed onto one screen, so not being able to do so would rule it out for me straight away.

FX Chains in the way they are done, AND!!! the multi synth control on a single track is a major jump forward.
 
Downloading the demo which I had no interest in before because of the limitation on multi synths, same as Sonar.
 
If it gets much better than this, will have to even retire Reaper. The flexibility of ver 3 in this aspect is now state of the art without having to resort to third party help. Presonus moved to the head of the pack overnight.
 
Anybody know if the authorization is online activation or if it is a simple key code or serial like Sonar.
