hallo,


i have a old dimension pro on two dvd's an a new 1.5 dimension pro full download version. the installation from dvd make 7gb, the installation from download make 3.1 gb.

what is the difference?

thanks for answers!

I believe the upgrade also contains 3 add-on sound packs. I'm not sure. I went to 1.5 from 1.2 when I got Sonar 8.5. I didn't use 1.2 long enough to see the difference. I believe 1.5 is also strictly a VST. Check the Dim Pro update page on the Cake site to be sure.

I also have the download version.
There are two reasons why I believe the install files are smaler than the DVD version:
- first the install program is heavily compressed with ZIP
- second, all the samples are delivered in FLAC-format (a lossless compression format), while the DVD-version uses uncompressed WAV-files.
