Part of my awareness of that was the ability to use my plugin sets between Mixcraft and Reaper, and that’s why it’s something I pay attention to. It would be nice if the new version was dedicated to 64-bit plugin architecture IMO. It looked like they were using mostly 32-bit plugins with a 64-bit bridge, and I believe AJ had said as much, and that the 64-bit bridge was a little bit heavier on the CPU, but not a deal-breaker. The plugin architecture was a bit confusing to me in MC8. The library thing is probably a simple overwrite with any additions, but since it’s a large database I like to check these things first. My other questions were about over-writing the old sample/loop library, and the plugin architecture. Anyway, I don’t think I need to install that as it looks the same as what I have.

That’s a whole learning curve too, though I do think it’s educational about how synths work. I was getting into synths more, and I wanted to learn about the modular synth world. It’s cool that it comes with Voltage Modular Ignite too, but I already have that, and it cost me $29 on a sale awhile back so in a sense the Mixcraft upgrade is easily justifiable just for the VMI package alone (assuming you think you would use it ).

I’m probably going to email their support to ask some questions about the upgrade before I run the install.

It seemed like a deal I couldn’t pass up, but it’s only helpful if I actually use the software a fair amount. I bought 8 Pro Studio 2 years ago during Black Friday back then. Oh, I forgot to mention that I did do the upgrade from 8 Pro Studio to 9 Pro Studio for $29.
