+1 thanks.  Did not know they had scaleable font; this goes great with their stretchable window.  Thanks for this GUI tip!

I have just got Mixbus V3 installed.  I am running the 64 bit version on Win 7.  It is all running OK but still a little glitchy here and there. Crashes around changing audio buffer settings, opening and closing too.
 
PSP Xenon does not run inside Mixbus 3 at all well.  There is something seriously wrong. Xenon is perfect for me inside other DAW's (SOP)  But inside MB3 it only seems to be working on the left channel which is not much chop.  Also it sounds like an out of phase sound with half the music missing and hollow, pretty weird.  When you bypass it all is normal again.
 
I have quite a few of their plugins and they all work fine.  Does not like Xenon right now for me anyway.  I have alerted them to it in case they don't know.  I bet an update will come out soon with some fixes hopefully this being one because I cannot use it all now as it is.
 
Other third party plugs work fine. I have the Nomal Pultec EQ and it is functioning normally inside Mixbus.  I like Mixbus for mastering in some situations genre wise.  I am about to master a more acoustic rock sound album so I think it will be perfect for it.

Ardour4 has the same problem so I think this needs to be fixed in the core application.
 
Remember MB3 is based on Ardour4.
 
You can report that bug to Harrison but i suspect it would get faster attention if you reported it to the Ardour development team.

MB3 crashes constantly for me. Splitting clips, closing, opening a session,etc... I can't use it in the current state it's in. I have 3 other DAWS installed on my audio PC and they all work perfectly fine. Also, ezkeys crashes MB3 instantly. I'm in touch with tech support about this, but was told that the problems I am having have not been reported by anyone else? Hope they fix this thing and soon.

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


Most of my glitches seem to be based on my environment. I have CODE24 Cloud backup service. I forgot to suspend it while using my DAW (any DAW, SONAR, MB3 etc.).

Nah, it's just plain buggy & not ready for prime time.

It certainly is not unusable for me. Once it settles down and I have got it working I can work for hours on it without issues.  But there are a few things that need to be addressed for sure. Xenon being one for me as I do like it as the last mastering processor.
 
There are the good things. The signal flow is a lot more interesting now and the sound of it might be for the better too. Have not tested it yet on that front but am about to.

I'm happy to hear it is working out for you Jeff but, I'm not having that kind of experience.
 
I can't wait to get it installed again and start using it but I'm convinced there is nothing I can do on my end to make that happen. Once they release an update/fix for the many issues I'll give it another shot. I am confident they are working very hard to get those fixes out.

I haven't installed it yet, but am watching and hoping it'll all get sorted. I, too have Xenon, Jeff, so please post if you find a work around.
I'm glad to have it and am glad that I'm not in a hurry to use it! LOL
