So I ask the following question on two website forum. The Reaper forum and the Harrison Mixbus forum. Before I post the question a little background. I purchased Mixbus 32c during a weekend sale. I also bought Reaper. These were purchased as a possible replacement for Presonus studio one. Which I decided to replace due to trying to keep future expenses down. So on to the question.

“How many of you use both Reaper and Mixbus? For those who do could you share your thoughts on your personal comparisons with these two platforms. Pros, cons, experiences etc.

I ask because I recently bought both platforms as a way to transition from Studio one which I will say I truly loved but hated the subscription version and didn’t want to upgrade until I explored other options. I just completed a project tracked in both Reaper and Mixbus 32C. I wanted to see how my experience match that of others who have and or still use both products.
Please don’t bash one or the other as both get the job done. I am looking for honest input as to workflow, overall experiences and such.”

Some of the responses were helpful, but most were down party lines. Some almost comical. As I expected from the Reaper forum I got the usual “never tried it because Reaper is the very best ever no need to try anything else especially like the knew ‘solve world hunger or find world peace plugins’ p.

I got from the Mixbus folks a bit more practical input, but still some of the ‘ I only use MB cause it sounds waaaaaaay better’

The end results was I never really got a truly helpful answer. Oh well better luck next time. I do appreciate some of the open dialog we have round these parts.
