I found myself up really late last night diving into it. It's not easy to see however, it doesn't go crazy when I use Zoomtext (screen magnifier). The only thing I don't like about it is that the font colors ard the background aren't contrasting enough for me. Though they are better than Sonar's. I can't use Zoomtext with Sonar.
 
I Plan on using Sonar X2 to create my project then export all the audio and mix with MB. Once I get my head around MB and know what all the buttons do, I won't need to use Zoomtext.

However for less than $20, I find it interesting something like this really adds some polish.  What a great world of computer recording we have at our disposal.

I picked it up even though it's going to be probably 5 weeks before I can even work with it. I've got to go out of town for business in 2 weeks and won't return until June 6th. For this price, it was cheap insurance.

You caved in to peer pressure!

Thanks Jeff and Bapu! That is how I think of it (once I get it, anyway), a flavor that I will really like "sometimes" and that seems very worth $20......hardly "caving"! LOL

Clint.......maybe. It came so highly recommended, at this price it just seemed like I might regret passing it up. I just wish I had more time to down load it and play around with it before I leave town. AD2 and EZD2 are going to come out too, just days before I leave on this huge project. That's going to be a real dilemma.

That was a joke for Make Shift. I'm really loving Mixbus. For the price of a cheap plugin, this thing is a no brainer.

I knew that, but everyone does seem to like it. So, I punched "Buy", before I missed it this time around. I was also concerned that 3 might be around the corner and it would be the end of sales.

I think you'll like it. In my mind I thought it would be nice to mix acoustic or blues projects with mixbus. I even think tracking in it may be fun. With EZ2 it will be EZ to create a complete song and export that to use in Mixbus. Sonar X3 is far superior in everyway and after playing around a bit, I find I can almost get the mixbus sound by using Klanghelm's SDRR (which is $3 more than mixbus) and Magnetic II. This was done only with completed projects and not individual tracks, so I would expect a little more analog mojo with the projects split into individual tracks on Mixbus. It's great to have great tools, and I love the price!

I agree with you. I'm thinking very acoustic stuff with Mixbus-acoustic guitars, blues drums, etc. I live and work in an area that is full of incredible acoustic acts who want a more "low-fi" (their terminology :) ) sound. Mixbus sounds like the stuff I worked on in the 70s and 80s. Sort of. It's definitely not for everything.
 
I also agree Klanghelm's stuff is really good. Mixbus is just very quick. 
 
I haven't had much time to really climb inside (my 7 year old daughter's penchant for tea parties the last couple of days outweighed mine for the studio!). All said, it's another tool. Tools are good!
