Clean install of Sonar Platinum?

Hi, guys! In prior installations I have installed just the newest features of a an upgrade. Therefore, some of my newer versions are tied to older versions of Sonar. Is it still going to be advisable to uncheck the features I already have from prior versions of Sonar or should Platinum be installed as a complete new version with all features installed? I sure don't want to have to go through fresh installations of DimPro, Rapture, etc..

    I did not install Dim Pro, Rapture or Melodyne for precisely that reason.  I did install all the content listed under Platinum even though I probably have a lot of it already, but it was a 1 click thing and I didn't want to think about it.

    Thanks, fellas! Just went to JRRshop and grabbed the reduced price deal! Bapu, I have always enjoyed the work you have done on productions and collaborations on the forum. Great work!

    I would check if there is anything on your old machine that was included with X3 that is not included with Platinum, there may just be something, otherwise I would think unless you have older toys that came with previous versions for SONAR X1 and X2, like R-Mix, V-Vocal etc, a clean install is all you need.

    Since the new release is so new, I would probably install X3 and then the new release. The idea being, I have a known good version should I encounter any issues with the new release.

    If we want to keep V-Vocal, do we need to install X2 as well, then? Or has someone figured out a way to install only the V-Vocal plugin on top of X3 or later?
     
    This thread seems to imply that you can't simply do a custom install of a previous version to install only the plugins you want.
     
    Does anyone have a list of the various plugins that are version specific like this? V-Vocal, R-Mix or whatever?

    The installation of V-Vocal has not changed. It relies on the previous version installer. The plug-in requires a minimum install of the old version to get it installed.

    Thanks for confirming. That's a bummer though. I guess I better get started - maybe by the time I finish re-installing versions 4 through X3, the new one will be posted! lol.
