Too many problems here. I'll wait for updates before trying again.

I get blips also.

We're not getting any younger.

I know that. I'm 394 years old!

6 to go, pima, and it's party tima

ALERT! I installed the 32 bit version this morning after running the 64 bit version of mixbus 3 thru the ringer all day yesterday! WHAM! The 32 bit version wrecked the 64 bit version! Something happened to the video player in the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version would not iinitialize!
I immediately uninstalled the 32 bit but the damage was already done to the 64! I ended up having to completely uninstall 64 and reinstall. All is good now but it was rather scary for about 15 to 30 minutes.

I have my machine cleaned up now and I believe I am going to wait for an update prior to re-install. Too many issues currently. They'll get some things fixed and it will be fun to play with again.

Since my plug in licenses are on the laptop(with 2.5) and I want to figure that out. How to get them or the licenses on to the desktop PC.  I'll only do the 64 bit, on the desktop.
Seems like not being in a rush is crucial! LOL

Okay I can confirm (for me at least) Izotope Nectar 2 nor elements is working in Mix3us. They will scan and load but they will pass no sound. I'm trying to find out how many of the bundled Sonar plugins work. LP64 caused my PC to lockup so I'm not going to try LPcomp. Channel tools works, Boost11 works...of course the Breverb and BT Nomad doesn't. Everything else is working great. CPU is around 10 to 15%. DSP 14%.

Here is some more info on midi on Mixbus.  I have played more with it, and while it works reasonably well, it is not really a complex midi sequencer.  It is fine for adding some midi, but I do not see it replacing Sonar or even Studio One for heavy midi track routing.  Then, today I just noticed that one of the Harrison tech persons just confirmed this over on their Mixbus forum when asked about midi workflow.  This is what the Harrison tech said:  
 
"Mixbus is not intended to be a "MIDI sequencer" or an arranger. Instead it is optimized to record, edit, mix and master "real" audio.
 
However, even very audio-centric recordists "occasionally" want some MIDI and virtual instruments. Mixbus is going to work really great for that kind of person.
 
If you're into film scoring, you'll probably want to use something else for MIDI sequencing, and then use Mixbus to mix the tracks into a polished deliverable."
 End of quote.
 
Again, midi does work (and works well), but I will probably still use Sonar for most of my more intense midi projects, but if I just need to add a couple of midi tracks here and there, then Mixbus sees designed for that.  Perhaps others with more use of it can add to this, or correct this and give their experience.

MB3 doesn't seem to like the Saffire 24pro. I notice when I try to open a new or existing project the lights on my Saffire blink and MB3 doesn't see it and crashes so I can't open anything. If I keep trying to load a project I might get lucky and it will see the Saffire and open  project. MB3 won't see Waves plugins. I have to go to their forum and see if I can find some info.

Sometimes it crashes. :-( It may be reacting to Zoomtext though. I am loving the EQ! I've only tried stock FX and they're working great. Mostly I'm just learning to get around the program working on a master. I think I'll only ever use this program for mastering.
