Switching from 5 to SX- suggestions?

[MackZilla]

Hi,
I'm making the switch from VST to SX and I am wondering about problems that may occur when porting my VST files to SX.
Well first of all I have a few large projects that I started on VST and my question is; how feasable is it to finish these projects on SX?
I know my main concern at this point will be plug-ins, but are there any other settings that might be lost in the proccess?

Any suggestions would be helpful as I may consider other sequencers to work on in the future.

To fill in the context of the matter: I have a recently deceased Powerbook and a brand new G5 (no OS9).

Thanks for your help!

you may lose mixer settings such as volume, eq etc.

This is what happened when I upgraded from cubasis to SL.

good luck

This may be a silly question, but will my VST plug-ins from Cubase 5 work on SX?
Are there some that work and others that don't?
I already invested alot into these plug-ins so hence my question.

I am asking all of this because I do not have SX and I wondering if it is worth it. I am already familiar enough with 5 to learn SX easily, but that is not neccesarily a reason to keep using it. Well, if my earlier plug-ins can work then I will be better off.

Thanks

It's worth it.

During the install of SX it should ask you if you want to use earlier plug ins or something like that. If you are using WinXP I'd make a restore point before you actually do the install. You can also leave VST 5 installed as I have.

Also with SX (at least with version 2) you can easily import VST 5 projects by using file - import - Cubase Song (or something like that, I'm at work right now so I can't remember the exact wording).

I did this with my projects and had no issues.
