Going from X2 Producer to X3 basic: can I still use X2 Pro stuff?
You probably think I am nuts but I am considering upgrading my X2 Producer version to X3. So not Studio or Producer but the basic version. The thing is: I notice I use Sonar in a very simple way. All those extra and pro plugins are wasted on me. In fact, I never liked the Pro Channel because I don't use it and it only gets in my way. I simply record my tracks using a few VSTi's (mainly Komplete 8, Dim Pro, EZDrummer and MusicLab guitars) and I mainly use the Sonitus effects. So... why the heck should I pay 100 bucks more for stuff I won't use and that, as I said, even gets in my way? (I really wish I could remove the Pro Channel from X2... I dislike it so much for some odd reason that even if Producer would cost as much as the basic version, I'd buy the basic version... I told you I was nuts LOL).
However, I would like to use a few things that come with X2 Producer, like Dim Pro, VVocal but also the Pecussion and Vocal Strip and well, maybe a few other things in the future. So my main question is: will ALL the stuff I got with X2 Producer work in the basic version of X3? Or are those plugins hardcoded to only work with a Producer version of Sonar?
I bought X2 shortly before X3 was released and I simply don't want to spend 150 euro's on it. 50 euro's for the basic version is great, though, specially considering the overall improvements.
Sonar 8.5 PE, Edirol FA-66, Behringer C-1. All instruments in my songs are VSTi's.
