Are you sure? Did Bruce Swedien use Ardour when recording Jackson? My
information is that Bruce Swedien used analog mixing consoles. Bruce
Swedien is a friend of a former friend and customer of this
former friend's microphone company, where I worked as an engineer. I
don't claim he didn't use Mixbus, but I doubt that much mixing was done
with a virtual mixing console, if any. I'm sceptic when reading such
name-dropping, especially in combination of old school musicians with
new digital software. From where is this information? What songs where
done with Mixbus, given that those artists already made music when even
Linux didn't exist and they don't had much success within the last 20
years. Which Zappa? Frank, who died in the beginning of the 90s?
