I jumped in on this as well. I was looking through their forum last night and saw that they have problems with IK plugs. Are any of you presently using Mixbus with IK plugs?

They have problems with any plugin that has more than two inputs. That'll include all side-chainable plugins.

So, what would be the best way to use this with Sonar? I've seen several videos and it does sound really nice but can it be integrated with Sonar to take advantage of its sound and features without losing everything that Sonar has to offer? Mixing drums inside Mixbus and returning it to X3? 
 
I'm sure it can't really be done but it would be cool if you could use it as a mixer by having the mic ins come into Mixbus and output to tracks in Sonar.

Judging by a post at kvr (forums down or I would post the link)...this may have been fixed with 2.5, but I'm not sure.

This has always been my thought as well.  It kind of defeats the functionality of using Sonar as a mixer, if you have to do it all over again in another DAW.

According to the MB forums this thread and a related thread speak to this issue being solved.

I got this up and running. First impression is... it sounds very good! I'll have to find my way a bit, but it looks like a very good $19 investment. I need to create a folder for my 32bit vsts so it doesn't have to scan all of the junk that won't work everytime, but that will be simple enough. I guess I'll have HMB videos to watch while I wait for the drum samplers to go on sale!

I just created a VST32 folder under the main Mixbus folder that way I only needed to create one scan path. Works out well. I do still get errors when it scans some plugs but it picks them up anyway.

I haven't gotten it to work on my Mac yet , but I did get it up and running on my Win 8 lap top ...
after doing some A B testing on some 8 bar song clips and exporting various versions of them only using the channel strip compressors , EQ's and a couple of the mix buses ...I sure like the way it sounds …
the saturation  adds a real nice flavor and colors the sound in a very pleasing way ...
i think this is gonna be a keeper for me ….
