Hi folks,

Thinking of moving up to Cubase 4 but was wondering will my old SX3 projects work on it?

Think I read somewhere they dont.

I know the simple advice would be wait until finishing those existing projects, the problem with that is the way I work is not linear and projects get finished or abandoned then a year later or whatever I tend to go back to them anyway. Plus I play in a band and we share projects and I dont wanna upgrade if the others in the band cant use them on their SX3. For instance I got long term projects that have been put on hold for a couple of years which I intend to finish when not working on live stuff.

I imagine it will be possible to import audio and midi tracks and create projects manually, but if Cubase 4 converts the projects (like sx did) then that would be great!

I just upgraded my 2mth old PC to Vista so wanna get rest of my gear up to date also.

System: Dual AMD 4600+, 3.0 Gb ram, nvidia 7950GT, Vista Home Premium
Audio: Cubase SX3, BFD, Tascam FW1884,
 
Although I have not done it myself, I was at a lecture with Greg Ondo (Mr. Cubase) and he said that Cubase for would have not problems opening sx projects.
 
Even if you do upgrade to Cubase 4, shouldn't you also still be able to use SX3 instead?
 
here's a question i can actually answer, :)
i moved all my projects from sx3 to 4 with no problems, though i've heard some of the plugs aren't ported or something.....
