There is a shootout going on with results next week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhDVSaoZhwQ Harrison Mixbus 32C is based on Ardour and incorporates at the mixing stage the 32C channel strip that was used to make famous recordings by Michael Jackson, Supertramp, Paul Simon, Zappa, etc, etc... Harrison also contributes support and code to the Ardour project.
Interesting. A lot of comments show that most people think this is a straight up daw comparison. That is not true. It is mixbus vs. reaper with plugins to achieve the same result. The reaper tracks may even have analog stages in them as the studio does own some. The reaper tracks were the original tracks and had the most time spent on them (they were being paid for) but the MB stem mix was done only for demonstration. If the MB mixes turn out better under those lines... it says good things about MB. If the reaper plus plugins plus more mixing time sounds better it says not so much. The mixes were pretty close.
There is no mention of workflow. Experience is big, I have done all my work on Ardour and when I open up anything else I don't know where to start. I have to reset the way I do things and in the end I am not willing to put the time and effort into the learning curve. Which is better? The one I know.
