Bapu, have you had a chance to spend any time with 32C? If so, what's your opinion on sound compared to MB3?

Not yet Led. I plan on doing that tomorrow. Mainly to see how the EQ fares up compared to my UAD 32C EQ.
 
Speculation/opinion on the Mixbus forum is that 32C is a more creative EQ vs Mixbus 3 which is more surgical.

Yeah, I've read that too. Still looking forward to your opinion before I make a decision. Please post your thoughts after you try it out, if you don't mind.

Will do.

Bapu, if I can't use 2 synced together, that defeats my purpose to use Mixbus to record live! Sometimes for live recording I need at least 24 or more tracks realtime. Mixbus seems to be working fine on my laptop so I will use it. It's just disheartening when Mixbus worked on both rigs so well until upgrading to 3. Even Ben at Harrison can't seem to work it out. 
I saw the other tip about toggling the buffered input switch every time you open Mixbus. I may give that a shot and see. Thanks, guys!

OK, after playing with Mixbus 32C for about two hours I can say that the new EQs are a welcome change. Mainly from a workflow perspective as I did not use the EQ extensively. I used the EQ on a lead vocal and bass track.
 
I'll probably not really use Mixbus3 that much from here on out.
 
YMMV.
 

tempting.........
 
I've found a few minor issues but I really like this thing, and it seems they are committed to improving it. 
 
dagnabit bapu, I let you pull me down the rabbit hole! ;)

I'm a big fan of Mixbus 3, and I would probably get the new one if I hadn't of recently upgraded Melodyne. Maybe during a future sale I'll get it. Looking forward to hearing more about it, so Bapu needs to get to work!

I would probably get it if they iron out the Roland drivers problem!

I forget, have you tried the "Use Buffered I/O" switch yet?
