No it doesn't cause any problems at all. If I remember correctly it's just an additional .frf file (that may not be the correct name) under the .dll file in your plugin folder. So if you have 20 T-Racks plugins your now going to have 20 .dll files and 20 .frf files. If you un-install Mixbus (you won't) I believe you have to manually delete these files.
This is some kind of identifier for Mixbus. I'm not sure why it needs it, but it does.
They also have a good forum and good support. I have installed it 4 or 5 times now without any issues. When they have an update...the installer removes the old version and installs the new version.
If you have anymore questions...I'll be glad to help if I can.

I'm a big fan of Mixbus 2.5 and 3.0. I think they sound slightly different, but they are both good.
After several updates...it's getting pretty stable, and I could easily track in it if I didn't have Sonar. For $79 you just can't go wrong here.
One thing you should all know about Mixbus 3... When it scans the plugins it creates an extension for it...so in the folder where your .dll files are, it's going to add this extension to every plugin you have. You may want to create a folder just for the plugins you want Mixbus to scan...or do like I'm doing and just get over it.
I'm planning on doing the final mix and master on my next project in Mixbus 3.
 
 

So I am guessing that the 'extension' that gets added doesn't cause any issue with other programs ? I am already a little hesitant about making the jump, but I am very curious. I don't do to good with the 'just get over it' thing and if you remove mixbus, does it restore things to the previous condition ?

The extra "extension" has not caused any issues with other DAWs or plugins on my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines.  I do not know about it restoring that if you remove Mixbus, but I would doubt it.  Again, I have had no issues with Sonar, Cubase or Studio One running on the same computer with Mixbus 2.5 or Mixbus 3.

Ah, so it's 'additional' files, it doesn't actually modify the original, if I am understanding correctly ? If so that is much better

MB3 is the BOMB.

You are correct. It doesn't modify the original, and Bapu is correct...Mixbus 3 is the bomb!

Good Luck with Mixbus 3 John ,  
 
It has a lot of character sonically . Mixbus 3 is Truly A Great Sounding DAW

PS , do me a favor my friend and don't tell anybody that Mixbus 3 in the right hands can make an ordinary run of the mill amp sim sound pretty darn good

Did you ever try this out?

It works great as a summing mixer if you've got a lot of stems or just copy your finished audio tracks over to Mixbus for mixing.

There's no denying that it has a very smooth sound to it. I'm have to say also that, version 2 was very stable. Version 3 isn't quite there yet but another release or 2 should get it there.

Did you ever try this out?

Not as yet, I was sitting there a couple of times just hovering over the  buy button, but couldn't do it, then I mad the mistake of reading their forums, and it put me off a little, I started telling myself to wait until the next major release, I'll have another look on the weekend. I think it's the Linux heritage that is putting me off, I don't have fond memories of anything Linux.
