a real sonar x1 thread.. producer>expanded upgrade sequence?

I have Producer X1c and did not update to x1d yet as i was working on a few projects.
With those completed, I am taking the opportunity to upgrade to expanded and add the prochannel channel compressor and gate/expander, so i have a question about the myriad of files i just downloaded.....
 
Can i assume the files should be installed in the following order?..
 
a) X1c Producer patch for expanded
b) Producer expanded installer
c) ch compressor
d) gate
 
and then the X1d update?..
 
or should i upgrade to X1d and THEN add expanded?.. thanks

I upgraded the prochannel stuff after installing X1d and all works fine :^)


edit; I should think a bit further before hitting the post button... When I installed Expanded, it did so to X1c level (build 425), so I only had to follow that up with the X1d patch...

I just saw that thanks... i have X1c build 319 so being temporarily confused still... hopefully coffee will fix that. :D

lol..np :)

the "x1c patch for expanded" is in fact, (well, i think it is) simply the X1c patch.. or so it appears, its the identical size so will skip that step..

as for dimentia.. i cannot remember if i have that, cheers!

expanded first my friend.
x1c-then expanded-then x1d
the patch itself says right on it sonar x1d expanded.
meaning expanded hit the market first,then the patch came after.
always remember it like that and youll be good to go.
its quite a horrow show when its done backwards,then you need to re install and we know how long that cane take.

good luck man.
 
just for clairification.
its sonar producer,x1c,expanded,x1d,
now i think i confused myself..but im cool,you are too,just do that.like i wrote here.
 
ps-youll like the x1d patch,it gives the pro channel extra features and the effects chain a whole new gui.
its a good update,i always freak about the updates cause im afraid something isnt going to be like it was..but this is alll good.
 
but after install,remember to check your preference menu.
most of the time some things get changed in the menus,like driver modes,megnetic strenth,exc.
 
ps..im not sure if sonar expanded has all the updates in them up to x1c.

Regarding the Nova... thanks for the heads up on the latest OS update... I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't even turned my on for about five years now, since I left the band I was in. My interest in music hit rock bottom for a time, in part due to a distinct lack of inspiration. I'm not a proper "musician" you see, in my view... I had a simple role in the band I was in and the part I played was manageable.

I like to think of myself as a "midician," and I like to compose my own work, rather than play someone else's. And because I turned to MIDI back in the late nineties, I kind of got lazy, and didn't practice the art of playing an instrument. 

That's the beauty of music I suppose, it has so many facets, each one enjoyable in it's own right. At least I think so anyway.

Oooh... I was getting all wistful there for a minute...

Anyway, I need to turn on my Nova and remind myself what OS I have installed.

Thanks again
