The difference is in the circuitry used in the summing engine correct?

I think I would prefer a plug in to moving files and working between apps.

That's it in a nutshell. Different strokes for different folks.

Agreed! Just ran a quick and dirty test with a third party multitrack, using only Sonar's PC Tube, Console and Tape on every channel and bus at very modest settings. The impact is spectacular. See no reason to look for another app just to add analogue-like processing. Especially if it takes bouncing tracks back and forth. But to each his own.

Who ever said bouncing tracks back and forth?
 
I only go one way.
 
Wait.... that might not have sounded like what I meant.

Soundwise

You know what would be fun? Send me those multi-tracks and I'll put them in MB32C and I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
 
Again... that may not sound like what I meant.

Using the routing options available on the new MOTU interfaces I could actually manage to route the Sonar buses to Mixbus INs ... no bouncing, start transport in Sonar, mix in Mixbus ... however, that was a while ago and due to lack of time I have not pursued it any further so I can't tell about the true downsides (the obvious one would be no fast bounce)

I'm not saying, that Pro Channel in Sonar sounds the same as mixdesk in Mixbus. How about sending you the entire project?

Sure PM me.

Sounds like a great experiment. Be sure to post both versions so we can hear and compare them!
 
Saturn might also be a candidate for duplicating the Mixbus effect.

I will if it's allowed.
