Thks bapu , so basically , it s not a feature or workflow choice but a sonic landscape approach if i understood well .... Witch is valid ...
But i tend to be super skeptikal with tjose "sounds like a console "tools or distortion

For the dsp part ...eq and dynamic not sure if those could be compared with real emulations ...that alone would have taken a lot of time , in witch they did a whole daw !

Zo,
 
Not entirely. First it is the sonic choice and second it a workflow choice in that by moving to Mixbus I will be in a different mindset of mixing/mastering and not be drawn back into the recording & editing stage.
 
I do expect to do some basic sound sculpting in SONAR before I export tracks (or stems) to Mixbus.
 
Lastly, as I said, I may not always do this (mix/master in Mixbus) but it's nice to have that tool and option.

100% agree with the Bapu on this. Sonar has way more shiny things to distract me and cause a state of perpetual mixing. When the tracks go to Mixbus it's for my final processing stages. I don't really want to know about tracking in Mixbus, I'm more focused on subtle eq tweaks and balancing the levels.
 
They are already doing some voodoo to the tracks behind the curtain with their console emulation and I think that's the sound difference everyone talks about. Simply importing the tracks is another stage of sound processing.

Mmm could you guyz post 2 songs summed , zero fx and drive from sonar and mixbus and let us compare. ?

PM'd you Zo.

Mixbus is basically a software recreation of the digital DSP they developed I think in the early 90's when they switched out their analog signal processing to digital. Their consoles have used DSP since then while retaining the Harrison sound. I think they switched to digital mixers because of the requirements of the movie industry.  Bear in mind these are just little snippets of info I've picked up from God knows where 
 
 

A NEW version of Mixbus.....32C DAW
 
http://forum.cakewalk.com...-32C-DAW-m3408178.aspx

I would buy it for $49.

I think I would agree.
 
Since I have the UAD 32C EQ plug; if I put that on every Mixbus 3 channel what do I miss (besides 4 more buses)? 

I hope Harrison doesn't have too many console models else I'll be paying $149 Ad Infinitum.
