You see, statements such as this one are the reason why I find it difficult to accept some of your assertions. You and the guys at Harrison make a big spiel how your "proprietary" technology is so different from that of other developers, and that it couldn't possibly be made to work inside other DAWs. Yet, you don't provide one shred of evidence to support this idea. Not one diagram, not one audio file, not one patent you could point to. We have to take your word for it.

Sorry, but the world doesn't work like that. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

When bypassing the EQs, compressors and tape saturation, there is no difference in processing between MixBus and other DAWs. I should hope we can agree on that much. If, however, some special processing takes place in MixBus with EQs, compressors and saturation engaged, Harrison (or yourself) should state that openly, rather than treating MixBus as if it was some sort of a state secret.

Come to think of it, tomorrow when I get a chance, I will compare using MixBus' processors inside MixBus with using MixBus for a plug-in, to see if that makes a differences.
