Arrrrgh.
 
It's not going well so far.
 
I deinstalled MB2.5. Installed MB3. Imported one WAV. Stutters.
 
More tomorrow.

After my little discovery above I restored my machine from an system image I made prior to installation. I have followed your footsteps by uninstalling MB2.5 and the old Ardour and removed all old mixbus folders. I did leave the plugin .txt license files in the home directory.
 
I am going to make another image with the machine clean and then try another MB3 install. Hope things go better this time. Support seems swamped but they are replying in pretty quick order.
 
Hope things get better for you bapu!

We're not getting any younger.

I'm not hearing any audio problems. Although I've only use one stereo track so far...The plugin thing just seems to be making a tag or identifier of some sort for Mixbus 3. That doesn't bother me. I'm going to be glad to delete my 32 bit dlls. I left Mixbus 2.5 installed. I may delete it later, but I thought It may be smart to keep it for a while. I need to delete Mixbus 2.5, MC6, Sonar X1, X2, AND X3 to free up some hard drive space at some point.

I'll probably eventually have to make a folder for Mixbus 3 plugins. All of Sonar's plugins scanned in, but a lot will only work in Sonar...i.e. Nomad Blue tubes. I don't want the LV2 stuff. I won't be buying any of those. I'll probably delete them too. Plugin management could be cleaned up a bit.

I'll happily pay $40 for V3.
I have 2.5 on my laptop but haven't installed it on my "new" desktop. I'm wondering if I ought to install 2.5 first and then do V3? Any suggestions?

My opinion! I have 2.5 on both my desktop and laptop. It may come in handy for older projects but I would not waste the time or space if you have never had Mixbus older versions. You get both the 32 and 64 bit versions of 3 and just starting out I would stick with those. Although pretty soon 32 bit versions of anything will be prehistoric and die.

Now that's it both 32b & 64b make sure to check if you made a separate 'harrisionx86' vst folder to avoid confusion or issues.
