Questions about upgrading.

Post by Ray Cube »

1: If I upgrade from Recording Studio 9 to Pro Studio 10 and as I am in the UK, will I pay the same amount in pounds as listed in dollars or will my payment be adjusted?
2: Will I be able to open my current projects in the new version without problems? I am currently not using plugins that didn't come with my purchase.
3: Would I be able to roll back to my previous version it I can't? Just while I tinker with the old projects and then put the new version back.
4: If I save old projects with a new name after any alteration will the old version still be able to be opened with an old version?

I am aware that some programs would not allow this as an upgrade is normally a replacement for an older version and that the act of upgrading often means the old one becomes unavailable once the upgrade has been made.

1:I would expect any exchange to appear/occur at checkout, if necessary.

2: Yes, the core program is identical, only difference being some added plug-ins and functions.

3: It won't be necessary.

4: See #3.
Stay in tune, Mark

a. Mixcraft 10 can load project files from older versions of Mixcraft, but not vice versa.

b. When you save your older project in Mixcraft 10, you end up with a new Mixcraft 10 project file along with the old, un-changed project file.

Thanks for the replies.

I went ahead anyway and now I seem to have both Mixcraft 9 Recording Studio and Mixcraft 10 Pro Studio on and working on my system.
Happy days!
Will check my receipts later this morning to see what the bank paid in pounds.

I got the program at the price adjusted for Pounds Sterling even though the purchase went through shown in dollars. 👍
