As for me, master of none I'm afraid.

It's tempting, but something tells me I should put my time and effort into getting better with Sonar..........just sayin. I do have enough plugins with presets, ezd2 for drums, nectar for vocals, Pod Farm for guitars and basses, and I only need B3,Rhodes, and Farfisa type tones for any keys that may arise. What I am trying to say, is that I tried some 3rd party plugins like Bias and S-Gear, but I don't like how they sound in Sonar. I was using TH2 Producer for both guitar and bass, but Pod Farm suits me better and I am familiar with Line 6 modelling over the years. So, I guess I should ask, what do  you feel you are gaining again by getting EZMix?

Charly, it's really a preset thing, but it's also really good. If you go through the presets list per pack, you'll see that some of them are (or are not) up your alley. Two examples: I like to use the cello, well there's a preset in The Mix Toolbox. I like to have a Supertramp-style preset for Wurli and for sax, well there's a Peter Henderson pack for that, as he was Breakfast in America's mix wizard.
But on the keys topic, do you use the Overloud VKFX effects that originally came from Scarbee? That's a ProChannel plugin full of wonderful keyboard presets.

Fleer is giving you some good stuff. Check out the preset lists and the Pro Channel Keyboard FX are just $9.99 each right now.

EZ Mix is a nice product, and I used it a lot until I purchased Alloy2 from Izotope, which I use in a similar fashion. 
But both products are useful, especially when you are not an advanced engineer. Alloy2 probably is more useful to the true engineers among us, but it's presets are useful and cover a fair amount of ground, although not as many as EZ Mix does. 
Will run the update and try it out later. Appreciate the info, I hadn't received word from Toontrack about this as of yet.

Come to think of it, my mixing efforts rest on four pillars, two more or less easy (EZMix2 and Alloy2) and two less or somewhat easy (T-RackS and Slate's 3-letter-acronyms). Weakest link: me.

Can't relate to that at all guys. Just a lack of plugins for me. (My avatatar is mocking me while I type this) lack of plugins. WHAAAAT?
