I've just noticed there's a pretty good "No Brainer Holiday Promotion"
on Mixbus v2(.2) until 2nd Jan 2013. Just $40 and the LinuxDSP Mixbus
Bundle is also reduced. Does seem too good to miss.

How does license enforcement work for Mixbus? Is it tied to a specific
piece of hardware or how hard is it to move the license?

Piece of cake to move the license. It is a single file, you just put it on
your Desktop, and Mixbus will find it and install it. Just keep a copy of
the file somewhere and you are fine. You are obviously expected only to
use it to license your own copies, and the license file does have your name
in it.

Harrison emails you a license key text file, and instructs you where to
put it, so MB will find it the next time it boots.
I don't know the technical answer to your question about how many
machines you can have it installed on, according to their license.
That's one you might wanna check their web site for, or ask in the
@ardour-mixbus channel on freenodr IRC.

Just a note (to save anyone a few minutes puzzlement) the User_Manual.pdf
included in the Linux.tar.gz doesn't work well in Okular. Most content
isn't shown, but the download on the mixbus info web page is fine.

I also grabbed a copy of ArdourXchange, given that I have one
Pro-Tools project done by a friend that might be nice to import.
Does anyone know how the LinuxDSP package from Harrison compares
to the usual cadre of audio effects that I use with Ardour? Will
my audio plugins work with Mixbus?
Thanks....

I have not been able to get ArdourXChange to work under Wine. Have
you? Had much better luck with AATranslator (which supports many more
formats, both import and export)

They are the same as the LV2 plugins from the LinuxDSP site (which are
really good, BTW). You can use them with plain old Ardour2 & Ardour3,
and likewise, anything that works under A2 & A3 will work under MixBus
(I really recommend the new Calf LV2 plugins, they are pretty sweet).
There's a lot you don't need to use with MixBus, since a lot of stuff
is built into the mix busses and work pretty well (limiting,
compression, tape saturation, high pass filter, etc)

I'll have to have a listen soon. Early last Summer I was amazed
at how nice GVerb was compared to my Lexicon. Granted, I just
got my old Altec-Lansings reconed and could finally tell the
difference. Wow! A friend of my who does pro sound heard the
difference. He had the same hardware Lexicon in his live sound
rack that I've been using for years, and he ended up dropping
about $600US on a new Lexicon once he could hear how it stacked
up against something better. The new Lexicon is stellar, btw.
But, he still uses his silky smooth vintage plate reverbs in his
studio.

Interesting. Is that stuff part of the Open Source contributions?

Harrison has a new version of GVerb available, GVerb+, which is pretty
stellar sounding. And their 3D delay... wow... it's fantastic.

I like everything about it really. The dedication to model instruments
so closely, the UI's configurable size just makes it easier for me to
see and use on a large screen. There are a few very fine Linux audio
programs which I do find difficult to use (without leaning forward
from my comfortable chair :))... It has been my first choice for a
quick source of music into my developing (currently hdsp_9652*2) system.

You mean same LV2 plug-ins can work differently just because it's
Ardour, not Mixbus? :)))
