OK..Finally got my X3pro upgrade...now what?

Anything special I should or should not do before, during or after installing?  I already have EP4 and AD drums so I'm assuming I should not install these at all.  And how about the "letter" updates?  Any oddities there?

    Not that I know of.  As you may know already, if you contact XLN and let them know you already have AD, they will give you an adpak or orsome other deal.

    What do you get Ol Pal? Did you get the DVDs or is this a down load?  The DVD is not updated where the DL is X3 a.

    I think it's recommended to turn off virus protection. X3 will find your version of Melodyne or load Essentials if you don't have a higher version already installed.

    I don't know if this will help (I don't have X1 installed any longer) but EZdrummer with all the outputs builds all of the tracks in about 10 seconds in X2.   In X3 the tracks are complete in about 7 seconds.

    thought I read somewhere the box shipped one was 3a anyway ? I'll wait for them to fix it more with "c" before I think about buying it.

    Although I am (and many others) doing quite welll with X3b, that's what I would recommend.   May as well get another pass of bug fixes, along with whatever else CW throws in.

    The box ships with X3 so I would suggest to X3a and X3b. And of course later this week, update to X3c.

    Definitely turn virus protection off...even MS Security Essentials resulted in a BSOD for me. And as other have said: you'll need to get the patches...I'm hearing rumors that X3c will be out by weeks end barring any unforeseen problems.

    Well my download files at Cake did not have X3a...only X3b...which I installed.  Should I have installed "a" first?

    Installing X3b only is OK.
    From http://www.cakewalk.com/s...reader.aspx/2007013324
    You can install SONAR X3b directly over the SONAR X3 release version (available on discs) and/or the SONAR X3a ESD version (available as a digital download).

    Olpal, the only other thing I would suggest is to reset and rescan your plugs because we have a new plugin manager now.
     
    Go to preferences/vst and click on rescan existing plugs check box then press the reset button. It will rescan automatically for you. (if you're set for auto scan) You should only need to do this one time. When you're done, take the check out of the rescan existing plugs box so it's back the way it was and you should be good to go without any plug issues. This resolves any plugin issues that could arise.
     
    Enjoy X3! :)
