Can anyone help me with some pros and cons comparing these two programs?

Harrison Mixbus 4 vs Reaper 5.40

For today's purpose, I am running Ubuntu with XFCE. I do not have an interface picked out yet, so that can be factored into the discussion.

I downloaded, installed and licensed MixBus 3 yesterday ( I believe it's actually vrs 3.6).

Kurt Foster, (and/or anyone else who has spent some time on the newest ( or newer) versions of Harrison's MixBus DAW platform)...

Kurt...
about a year and a half ago, you and I were discussing the newest Harrison Mixbus version that was out at the time, I'm fairly certain it was vers. 3.0 (?)

Swedien is an amazing cat - his resume is ridiculous; from Count Basie and Duke Ellington to McCartney and MJ... with many others in between.

Kurt Foster ( and anyone else who may be interested)

Harrison has released the newest version of MixBus - version 3.0

Price: $40 ( U.S.)

Kurt...

Which Harrison compressor are you using, either for individual tracks, and/or for the 2-bus?

Or are you using something other than the stock Mixbus Compressor?

Just curious... :)

A rackmount, 8 ch mic preamp that provides 4 pairs of Harrison mic preamp's, each pair from a different era of Harrison consoles and strips.

This looks great. I want

I purchased this program last year, and I really enjoyed mixing with it.

I wouldn't recommend it for full-scale production - being that MixBus has no midi function at all - you are best to use your current DAW to record if your project includes midi or soft synths.

i'm going for a laptop to run the new Harrison Mixbus DAW ... i have singled out a few machines ... i'm looking for advice as to which OS, Windows XP Pro, 7 or 8?
