![]() I'd love to add Mixbus to the toolbox, but the current lack of 64Bit and VSTi feels too limiting. There are significant strengths/weaknesses in each DAW application. I really like Mixbus, but I don't use it as much as I used to because the x86 vs 圆4 thing has become more of a hassle than I care to deal with. So I use different tools for different tasks. Jim Roseberry wst3 I still want a DAW that sounds a cool as Mixbus, is as flexible as Sonar, has the timeline features from DP, audio editing from Sound Forge and Wavelab, and expression maps from Cuebendo. No doubt I'm missing something incredibly daft, but I can't figure it out! I checked my Preferences in SONAR and I have " Share Drivers with other Programs" checked. My TonePort has 2 Ins, but even if I set a track up to in advance of opening Mixbus to input from 3-4, I still get the same message. I set up Mixbus as you suggest, but once I change focus to SONAR (to select a track) I get this message: There are no options to reassign my TonePort (my soundcard) to SONAR after I close this message. However, I must be doing something wrong. Hi Tommy Thanks for outlining this method, this is one of the ways I want to use Mixbus with X3. Let me know what you think about this you guys. I have not run into any clocking issues or latency problems. 7-If you wish to monitor from within Sonar just hit Input Echo on in Sonar and mute the Master Bus in MIxbus I don't have time to really get into this for a few days but the quickie tracks I recorded this way with the Harrison console vibe before it hits Sonar is cool. You can take advantage of its EQ and compressors on the Mixbus strips and record the signal dry while monitoring with verb from the Master OUT. ![]() The signal that gets recorded in Sonar is the signal processed first in Mixbus. 6-Arm for recording and you'll see the signal from Mixbus in Sonar. ![]() This lets you listen PRE-Sonar from the MAIN OUT of Mixbus 5-In Sonar insert a track and set the input to one (or two if it's a stereo input) of the bus outs from Mixbus. 4-On the corresponding busses assign via Track Direct Outputs to OUTS other than the MAIN OUT. Turn off the MASTER button for each track so you are monitoring the track through the busses. 3-Use one of the sends for each track input, i.e., if there are 2 stereo mics on an acoustic guitar arm send one for mic one and send two for mic two. Make sure you are using "Mixbus Does Monitoring". 2-In Mixbus make one or more tracks and set the inputs. I have a MOTU Track 16 with a Focusrite Octo Pre Dynamic connected via ADAT so I have plenty of I/Os. Here's what I did: 1-Open both Sonar and Mixbus making sure they are both using the same ASIO drivers. It works like a charm! JACK apparently does work in Windows with the 2.5 update so it made this real easy. Southpaw3473 I did a quick experiment to see if I could use Mixbus as an actual mixer before I inputted to Sonar. 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!). I also agree Klanghelm's stuff is really good. Mixbus sounds like the stuff I worked on in the 70s and 80s. I live and work in an area that is full of incredible acoustic acts who want a more "low-fi" (their terminology :) ) sound. I'm thinking very acoustic stuff with Mixbus-acoustic guitars, blues drums, etc. It's great to have great tools, and I love the price! 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. 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. With EZ2 it will be EZ to create a complete song and export that to use in Mixbus. In my mind I thought it would be nice to mix acoustic or blues projects with mixbus.
