  • Vienna Instruments: save all songs before upgrade?

    Hi,

    I'm on a pretty old version of Vienna Instruments, so want to upgrade to the latest version (9687, Mac). The instructions say that I must upgrade to 4017 first, open and save my songs, and then upgrade to 9687. My question is, what happens if I don't open and save my songs (in Logic Pro 8.0.2)? I have literally hundreds of projects that would need to be opened up and saved, it'd probably take me a couple of days, so I want to check that this step is really necessary before I do so.

    Also, a quick additional question - does the latest VI version still have the "show window" button? I'm crossing my fingers that it's gone!

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul

    Hello,

    Please send the very old project to support [at] vsl.co.at, so that we can analyze why it doesn't load.

    'Show Window' is still present with old VI, however it's gone in VI Pro (which works immediately without this intermediate dialog).

    Thanks,

    George.

    Hi George,

    Many thanks for the reply. Apologies if my original post was explained badly, but I think you've misunderstood me. There's no one specific Logic project that I'm having a problem with. My post referred to the paragraph at the top of the Vienna Instruments software download page (http://www.vsl.co.at/en/68/428/514/210.htm) which says "Please note that Vienna Instruments 2.1 or higher is not compatible with versions older than 2.0 build 4017. If you are upgrading from an older version, please open and save your songs with Vienna Instruments 2.0 build 4071 first..."

    So my question was: if I am following the upgrade path mentioned above, do I really need to open and save all of my Logic songs with Vienna Instruments 2.0 build 4071 first, because to re-open and re-save all of my Logic songs that use Vienna Instruments would probably consist of about 2 days work for me!

    Many thanks in advance,

    Paul
