myself i much prefer the sound i can get via studio one 3 and mix engine fx via the console shapers, especially ctc-1 pro. there is definitely something going on there though, somewhat subtle and a little hard to grasp at first, that is until it clicks, until you do hear it and then you can hear it for ever more. Well my post keeps disappearing haven't joined in the listening test myself, i own mixbus 3 and 4 so have a good idea first hand. I can't quite glean from you response as to: a) which you think is the Mixbus version or b) which did you prefer WRT to prefer, it's not a vote on which is better, simply what you prefer. The only way I can describe it is there appears to be a bit of a mid-range hump in the center channel on B, but the amount of bump seems to be volume dependent and therefore less noticeable when there is more signal. When I get to the harder part at about 44 seconds the difference is a bit more subtle, but it's still there. Same with the vocals - like there is a bit of a bump in the mid-range in the center channel. Interesting that the guitar in the right speaker sounds the same for both A and B. The part at 36 seconds: at first it appeared that A was slightly lower in volume, but it sounds more like there is a muffled sound to it - like the old "blanket over a speaker". There is a very real difference on my system. Smallstonefan I looped 36 seconds in to 1:03 in. IOW it's not a mix but a comparison of the two "console" versions attempting to be close to equal as possible. Important to note both versions are devoid of any extra FXs such as compression, eq & reverb. On Sunday morning when I wake up I will update this OP with the "answer" as to which was which. I will give all requesters until Saturday Midnight PST to post their comments on (either) which one they liked better or which was SONAR and which was Mixbus. Anyone can request them by 5:00PM PST Wed. If you PM me I will give you links to the files. The only thing I did was level match the final mixdowns to insure that if you put them in non fx'd SONAR project you can use solo exclusive to A/B them and not be distracted by sudden/drastic level changes. I routed those tracks to each of its own Mixbus which were then summed into the Mixbus Master bus. I imported those buses into Mixbus 32C V3 tracks. Then I turned off all FXs (tape and console) and then did a bus export. Soundwise took a David Glenn multi-track recording and built a SONAR PC "Console" using tape and console on every track and bus. Blind A/B Test of SONAR PC CONSOLE vs MIXBUS 32C V3 - SEE RESULTS in OP
