OK, after reading the manual and the replies form the employees in this thread I am losing interest. It seems to be largely marketing hyperbole.

The DAW is ardour, which is free anyway.

There has been no mention of why the actual mixing portion (the harrison part) is better than mixing on any other DAW. Is it just a standard 32 bit float summing or not?

sure there is eq, comp, and tape saturation on each channel, but this is essentially just another channel strip plugin. I admit it is nice though to have dedicated controls on each channel.

I guess I was hoping for too much, after all it is only $79

I also don't like the fact that you have to run another program "jack". Its all sounding a little amateur. When I saw the Harrison name I was hoping for something that lifts the bar

Hopefully I'm missing something?
