Probably not a winner in the contest (of which I care not about). After you listed to these, see post 11 for the video of the song and its mix.
 
"Distance" - Raw Tracks snippet 
 
"Distance" by Regret The Hour - Mixbus 32C by bapu (Mixbus Plugins ONLY)
 
"Distance" by Regret The Hour - SOANR by bapu (UAD, Waves, EZMix, S-Gear, BOZ, Pod Farm 2, TH3, LXP480, Voxengo, Ozone7)
 
Did the entire Mixbus 32C mix in less than 8 hours (in three separate sessions, one 20 minute remix).
 
Did the SONAR mix in just about the same amount of time.
 
This was fun to hone the mixing skills on something I was completely unfamiliar with.
 
 

we have to sign up to listen :(

Sorry Ed, no speekee facebook. Ignorant heathen that I am. I'm so far past it, that I'm almost at the front of the que again.

Same here. Wanted to listen. Wanted to like it. Didn't want to facebook it.

Bummer. I thought to listen it was public. I'll post it elsewhere then.

It has some sonic subtitles of the great hit songs of the past. But unfortunately those magic plugins and an overall excellent DAW won't make a #1 hit. I think Cakewalk's ProChannel does roughly the same thing in a more songwriter-friendly environment.

Soundwise

Maybe it's just the way I use them.

I'm still on the fence as to upgrading to 32C. I really like Mixbus. I'm not sure I need more.

I liked the bass and guitar on the track but the snare was really in need of some TLC. I find that there's no body to it. I noticed in the 32C advert I received there's a list of features. In that list they mention something about the design of the audio engine that I think is the key to the Mixbus sound. I'm wondering if anyone else spotted it.
 
Stick with it Bapu. I'm staying with Mixbus but passing on 32C.

Updated the OP.
 
Revised Mixbuss mix and added a SONAR mix.
