Ardour is imo one of the best DAW in the market for audio. (not for MIDI or VST of course... ) I started to use Ardour few years ago, under Linux, with the 1st version of Agnula Demudi (Live CD). I was a Samplitude's user and switched from Sam to Ardour (open source software, a lot of plugs, Unix more stable than windows, Jack is a REVOLUTION because we can connect everything to everything. The concept is brillant and interesting and because i could not bear anymore CTD and a lot of pbs had under windows. Samplitude is great, but only usable on windows even I could launch - sometimes- Sam6 under Linux with Wine ASIO) SO... MBH seems to be an advanced version of Ardour (Harrison works with Paul Davis on Ardour, never forget) for 80 dollars (or less if we don't want the video) Without doing anything (same signal same level same soundcard etc) : it sounds better in MBH. And the soft is more stable. Had a pb with Ardour, no pb with MBH 1.2. That's all I want to know.If MBH is only an advanced version of Ardour + a plug made by Harrison for 80 dollars, it's ok for me.

Maybe we could talk about something else now ? I can't see the need of bashing MBH and Harrison for pages and pages. Or maybe we'd talk also about SSL console in Record... about virtualisation, about all "professional" plugins etc.

I'd be more interested by the future of MBH maybe ? (Linux version, Ardour 3> Mixbus 2.0 etc)
Can we expect other versions ? more busses ? With MIDI ?

Quite frankly, Harrison's marketing department seems unbelievable incompetent and inept at efficiently dealing with the public. Harrison are bullshitting their way into the DAW market, and it's embarrassing to watch.
...I see, everyone can notice it... BL talking with an incredible patience to everyone for weeks, for a 1st price software.
