I've got X1d, X2a and X3 all installed here with no side-effects.   Though I haven't opened X1 since shortly after getting X2, and haven't opened X2 at all since last week.    I prefer to completely move on to the next version once I have it up and running, and so far that's worked out well for me.
 

I have X2 along side X3 with no problems. Why this notion keeps coming up with each new release I don't understand. It has never been a problem in any previous version to have to uninstall the old. Just leave it alone and install the new. 

Thks for the feed back but SSD disk space is my concern , 8.5 , X1 , X2 , X3 it's start to be a lot ...anyway can somebody tell me about the charater letters thing ? 

The actual program files are quite small. Probably no more than a GB for all four versions together.
The characters look different again in X3 but like I said, it may be customizable with an INI file or something, which you can already try to do with your current version, as a proof of concept.

Zo, just a quick note about the uninstall stuff. If you do decide to uninstall your previous versions of Sonar, what you WILL lose is the plugins that may have been exclusive to that version of Sonar. For example, I just have X2 and X3 on one of my pc's. If I remove X2, I lose V-Vocal as it is no longer offered in X3. There are other plugs that come with 8.5 and X1 that you would lose if you removed those versions.
 
However, you COULD just pop in those installation discs after you uninstall and just put back the plugs you would need easy enough.
 
On the fonts, I do not think you can edit them from what I'm seeing. I may have missed where you would edit that, but nothing I'm looking at jumps out at me, Zo.
 
Bakers: if you're reading, how difficult would it be to create an exe of all the plugs we know and love that have been swapped out? Would really be great if there was an exe that offered the plugs that we don't have anymore so that we wouldn't have to go searching through versions to re-install if we needed them. I'd be willing to pay for this as some of those old plugs (fx suite and others, now V-Vocal) were quite good in certain situations for me. I too would love to remove my old versions of Sonar on my work computers but know I'll lose those plugs. Is there a simpler remedy that would be quick and painless for this other than searching through older versions to reinstall the plugs?

Thks guyz ;)
 
and i second Danny
 
In fact i'm gonna keep X1 and 8.5 ....i plan in installing X3 and Slowtools ...
 
Danny , i plan on unisntalling x2 and just installing R Mix don't need other stuff
 
X3 will be as usual a custom with no media content and all ...but even light install (talking X2 here) take mlike 3 or 4 gb that's why i uninstall without a lot of hope concerning the space i will gain !
 

OK no way to find an option or a file .ini or some where we can change it !! my eyes gonna not like this at all ....Request !!!
 
Second thing , i have found thatto display the track icons on my tracks (track view ) i have to strech way more the track to get it display ..hate that since it take 20% more space !! somebody can confirm this on X 3 ? (option track icon cheled, Big icons )...
 
i think it's due to the new lane and takes options ....implementation ...
 
Any Bakers can kim in ;)?
