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 (?)

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... :)

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?

They were offering this program at a sale price of $40, so I thought I'd give it a chance.

I apologize if this suggestion has already been put out there, but I'm always curious to compare/exchange mixes done entirely *inside* PT with others who are doing the same. This isn't an attempt to start yet another debate over the Pro Tools mix bus, math, etc. Let's just assume for a moment that there is some degree of wierdness there.
