I'm glad you got it sorted out ….
 
now here's my latest gush  on how much I'm digging  Mixbus 
 
I posted this over at their forum ...
 
I have been doing a little bit of experimenting over here and I'm very pleased at what I'm able to do so far with Mixbus ….

In have a project that I started out in Logic Pro 9 , it was started in Logic because I used an app called Midi Guitar
( Jam Origin ) to trigger my vst synths VIA a normal electric guitar .
I took all my audio bounces and brought them into SONAR and continued woking on my song by adding a variety of new audio instrument tracks that I played on various instruments …

as one can only imagine , it is a lot of work to start in one DAW 
(on a Mac) and then recreate it in another DAW (on a PC )…lol

since I'm new to Mixbus , I wanted to start learning Mixbus with an audio project that I'm somewhat familiar with …

so heres what I did ….
on my underpowered XP computer I did an export from SONAR 6 PE where it exported all 25 tracks of audio in one shot as individual audio tracks …at 24 bit 
I opened up Mixbus , created a new blank project and imported each track into Mixbus …
once everything was in Mixbus I hit play …
everything was there and a couple of times I got a disk can't read fast enough box that came up 
in all honesty I expected that since my XP machine doesn't meet the required spec to run Mixbus …it only has one gig of RAM ….this computer is my Guinea pig / workstation 
after doing a little slip editing my project did run and sound smooth …
I saved my Mixbus project and put it on a thumb drive and brought it over to my Win 8 lap top …
I opened up Mixbus , browsed for my project on my D drive , opened it up , got a couple of snapshot messages which I ignored , saved my project reopened it and went holly smokes once it started to play in Mixbus …my lap top running Mixbus didn't even break a sweat …

in the Spirit of exploration , I say to my self , lets see what happens if I take my Mixbus project and drop it on my Mac …
I put the project on my desktop from the thumb drive , open up Mixbus and browse to the desktop and open the project up …
once again something might of came up with snapshots , which I ignored 
I saved the project , reopened it , hit play and said wow this is pretty cool ….my Mac only has 2 gigs or ram so after slip editing my project played very smooth , with zero glitches ….

my apologies if I'm a little long winded …I'm just very happy 

I'm very surprised that Mixbus worked great on my machines which have different OS's and sound cards …

that actually blows my head when I think about it ….Yeah Mixbus is great …now I have to get busy and learn how to use it

PS , thanks for the great deal on the reverb and delay …they sound very good

Well, not so fast. After only a few minutes of using MixBus my audio has tanked. Everything I play in MixBus, Sonar,  Windows Media Player, and everything else sounds like its coming from the bottom of a swimming pool. Massive wavy reverb/echoing going on. This is from the onboard sound card AND the outboard MOTU.
 
I uninstalled MixBus and restored the system to the day before installation but it did NOT change anything.
 
What Is Going On???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
Is there a common piece of hardware/software that controls ALL audio no mater what card you're using?

Check to see if somehow you switched to a DirectX Driver..or driver other then ASIO...
those things sound terrible...

@Kenny
 
Just curious. Did you have a general mix with no effects or were all the faders at 0db?

Faulty headphone connection. Weird.

I hate when the happens!!!

Guitarpima, 
 
the project that I had in SONAR was in the state I had saved it before I had put it in my audio editor for final touches. ( pre exported mix ) 
 
we can call it a general mix since I had a mix going on where my individual tracks were set to where I was pretty happy with the way they sounded ...
when I put my tracks in Mixbus I left everything at Zero once it was in Mixbus….…….
It was my desire to learn my way around Mixbus with something I had done already
i still have a long way to go …...
at some point it might be a great idea for me to go back to my SONAR project , Zero out my tracks and export that and see what happens ….
 
Now theres a few folks here on this thread that have done routing and combined Mixbus with SONAR 
I haven't gone there yet ….I hope to soon ...
 
what is blowing my head is 
I took 3 separate computers with 3 different operating systems , ( W 8 , OX 10.7.5, XP ) with 3 different high end DAWS , 3 different sets of plugs , 3 totally different sound cards and was able to have a consistent project once in Mixbus on all three machines …..
 
to me thats a true mind blower …. think about what that could mean for a moment

That is pretty cool. It's crazy stable.

Thanks Kenny. I was thinking I would use Sonar for the audio editing and leave things at 0db for export with no effects. I've been busy getting a lead together for a current project and haven't had time to mess with Mixbus much.
 
I would like to hear how Jeff Evans uses it for mastering. I'm interested in how you use the busses for mastering.
