"Interim Releases" are Mixbus packages that allow users to view the current state of Mixbus development between official releases. Interim releases are best-suited to technical users who are comfortable installing and managing multiple versions of software on their machines.
You can determine which version of Mixbus you are using by visiting the "About" page. If the version says 3.0-3146 then you are already using this release.
You should only download an "interim release" if it fixes an important bug for you. Interim releases allow us to fix specific issues for our users, or beta-test new features. They are not as thoroughly tested as official releases, so you may find that an interim release is not as stable as the official releases. They might even cause damage to your session files (although we test to avoid this), so please make a backup of any important sessions before opening them in an interim release.
Currently, we are providing these packages to our registered forum members. Mixbus v3 is still a very new product and we want to provide fast and free access to updates without the delays associated with an official release schedule. In the future, we expect Interim Releases to become an exclusive benefit of our "Plugged-In Membership" NOTE: official updates such as v3.1 will remain free to all users.
Please do not post these links outside our forum, because the links are not permanent, and they do not represent a finished state.

Interim build 3146 includes over 2,000 changes since the initial 3.0 release. A selection of notable changes since the last interim 2872 is listed below:
New features:
Interim 3.0.3146 release notes
NEW!
FAVORITE PLUGINS SIDEBAR ( Experimental ! ):
Drag/drop plugins between the Favorites bar and track/buses.
Allow creating plugin-presets by dragging a plugin to the sidebar.
Allow to add a plugin or preset to all selected routes (double-click).
Save/restore custom order of favorite plugin list.
Manage favorites and delete presets from the sidebar’s right-click context menu.
MONITOR SECTION IMPROVEMENTS:
Monitoring section reduced to 75% original width
Allow showing/hiding the Monitor Section ( See new “Mon” button on the master bus)
Allow Plugins in the Monitor Section (for room eq/correction)
Fix monitor-section state restore (per channel solo/mute/dim/inv)
Change visible name from “Fader” to “Monitor Processor”
UI:
Stop trying to automatically scale the mixer strips. Warn the user if the scale doesn’t match their monitor, but allow the user to ignore the warning if they wish.
Add 140% strip scale, for those users with very large monitors.
Trigger small LEDs whenever scale is less than 100%. This avoids the issue where the LED size varies in a strip due to variations in individual button sizes.
Mixer mutes and solos now work just like the editor: middle-click for momentary operation; right-click mute & solo menus; ctrl+shift+click ( mute/solo all )
MIDI:
Fix overlapping note resolution (see issue #177)
Remove shortening inserted notes by one tick
Add midi-track mute automation
CONTROL SURFACES ( NOTE: Control surface features should be considered “experimental until the official 3.1 release)
OSC:
New OSC commands to support TouchOSC and Lemur (these apps always send float args, whether you want/need them or not. We’ve added redundant commands so TouchOSC and Lemur can trigger events)
MACKIE:
Allow basic access to channelstrip EQ and compression
Lots of basic functionality improvement ( entering & leaving different modes ), but still lots more to do.
Known issues:
On Mac w/XTouch(?), fader automation playback is very coarse.
The “Master” fader positionisn’t being updated when the session loads, but after moving it once, it works fine.
FADERPORT:
Off button is never lit, because this tells the Faderport to disable the fader entirely.
Fixed fader so it moves during automation playback.
Fixed Trim control range
Fixed “Shift” behavior so it is easier to hold shift & navigate the markers
Known issues:
disabling and immediately re-enabling the Faderport control protocol will cause a crash.
MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS:
Updated German, Russian & Chinese translations
Fixed some window titles ( some said "gui" instead of Mixbus )
“Backspace” key was not working in the mixer window to delete plugins. This is fixed.
Default the value of the save-snapshot entry with current snapshot name
Video file playback: Use video-duration from the container if stream duration is n/a
Fix possibly stuck mute/solo buttons (context menu)
Disable threaded waveview rendering. ( fixes some crashes during startup, but will slow down rendering slightly, for now )
Explicitly disallow looping when External-sync is engaged
Fix a problem with LV2 plugin UI updates when the plugin does not have output control ports
Use LV2 port symbols, not index, when plugin version changes. ( fixes bugs with Calf plugins on linux, maybe others )
SESSION SETTINGS:
Mixbus EQs were using the wrong frequencies at sample rates other than 44k. This has been fixed.
In the case where a session has multiple sub-folders for Audio or MIDI files, open a Finder/Explorer/File-manager to help the user resolve the ambiguity.
Save/restore plugin state with track-templates.
Properly copy plugin state when Duplicating a track.
CRASH FIXES:
Fix a potential crash when discovering control surface libraries.
Fix a potential crash when removing track.
Fix some shutdown crashes, especially for control surface users.
Fix a crash when scroll-wheeling past the bottom of fader travel.
MAC OSX:
Keep AU cache in cache-dir
Re-add AU cache/blacklist management controls to the Preferences->Plugins tab
WINDOWS:
Ship both blocking and callback PA backends (for debug purposes)
Keep VST path editor on top of preferences.
LINUX:
Uninstall all icon files (linux)
Install 256px icon file (hi-dpi)
LinuxVST window re-sizing: forward event to child window.
