Was 8.02 uninstalled before updating to 8.03. This is recommended but not required. I just used the Control Panel to uninstall, never bother to restore from backup. Was SONAR open when the upgrading? IIRC, I had a UI problem after an older update that when away after restarting SONAR.

scook,
 
do you remember if you had to re-auth the plugs after the uninstalls?  I just noticed I still have both the V7 and V8 on my machine and I would like to painlessly remove the V7 stuff if a re-auth is not required.

No reauth needed. The Windows based delete leaves the licenses intact. FYI, there were some plug-ins dropped between 7 and 8. I remember looking at the plug-ins that were dropped and decided not to leave 7 installed myself. IIRC, one was a redundant dynamics plug-in with a smaller UI.

Thank You for that info!

Hi carl,
 
When you say you turned off the acceleration to conserve what is it you are trying to conserve? As I understand it (which may be wrong) by having acceleration on it helps conserve CPU by off loading some of the load to the GPU (if supported GPU) This should be a helpful feature when used with supported GPU's.
 
Kind regards,
Rick

Settings note said turn it off if experiencing any graphic issues so I assumed it would help performance in general. I didn't have any problems with it except using Sonogram with 8.0.3 & VST3.

Does anyone know if there are any changes/improvements in the free bundle? I seem to  have a heck of a time installing updates sometimes and I don't want to screw anything up if there is no reason to update. Thanks.

Hi Milt,
 
Not sure what kind of problems you have when installing updates. I know if I try to install an update without first un-installing the previous version Win 7 will always ask me if the program installed correctly and I just click yes. Everything works fine after that.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

I just bought Mautodynamiceq 8 version. My first Melda plugin. No issues likely because I have no previous versions. I'm really liking it so far. Much to learn though. May turn out to be a goto.
