3.9 to 4.5 questions

Currently I'm still using Ver. 3.9 (no highspeed internet connection available here in the middle of BFE, @ 26k transfer rate, things take a long time to download).

If I upgrade to 4.5, can I go right from 3.9 to 4.5 or do I first need to go to 4.0 then to 4.5??

On unfinished tunes last using UAD1 3.9 plugs, after I upgrade to 4.5, will the 4.5 plugs work the same as the 3.9 plugs? As in;; Will the settings made in 3.9 transfer to 4.5 without problems? Or will I have to go thru each song/project and reset all UA plugs settings saved in 3.9?

I got my UAD1 card just weeks before 4.0 release. I had spent tons of time remixing projects utilizing my UAD1 card with Ver. 3.9 (which by the way I simply love my UA plugs!).
If I recall correctly, if you went from 3.9 to 4.0, settings saved under 3.9 wouldn't transfer correctly using 4.0. As I think back, that was the reason I didn't do the upgrade,,, along with the fact my system was operating perfectly,, just as it still is (knock on wood).

Is there actual upgrade/updates between 3.9 & 4.5? Or does the higher numbers only indicate new plugs available?

At this time, I'm happy with everything on my SX3 system using mostly UAD1 plugs. Is it even a remote possibility 4.5 will cause problems with my current system?

I'm also considering upgrading from SX3 to C4,, but I found posts that indicate no problems should be expected regarding my UAD1 card & C4???

If I update my computer to the latest/greatest available, will there be any conflicts between my UAD1 card, Duo Core 2, 64 bit???

I looked back several pages before posting these questions. I went back into early summer, no answers found to my questions.

Thank you in advance for your time & effort!!!

Hi Studioman, each update is primarily plug-ins, but there are also routinely plug-in updates and general bug fixes.

Regarding keeping the settings - I think you're OK if your currently using the vst versions of the plugs under 3.9. But if you're using DX, then the current plugs in your existing projects won't be recognised after you upgrade

Thanks,,, but??

Thanks guys!!! Truly appreciate you taking your time to answer my questions.

What about:::
If I upgrade to 4.5, can I go right from 3.9 to 4.5 or do I first need to go to 4.0 then to 4.5??

Is there actual upgrade/updates between 3.9 & 4.5? As in, (normally, when software updates arise, if the 1st number changes, it's a major upgrade, if only the numbers after the period change, it's a minor update). I'm curious if the same is true with UAD1 plugs?? Or do the so-called minor updates represent new plugs only??

Where might I find detailed info. pertaining to what the upgrades actually do?

At this time, I'm happy with everything on my SX3 system using mostly UAD1 plugs. Is it even a remote possibility 4.5 will cause problems with my current system?

So everyone knows, I love my UAD1 plugs! I'm in no way dogging on the products. I just prefer details as to what upgrades/patches are actually doing to/with the current system!!!

Again, Thanks for your time! I hope someday I can answer a question for someone on this board that I know the answer to as a fact,,, not a guess!

Respectfully,

StudioMan

I havn´t read all answers but yes you can go from 3.9 to 4.5 in one time (even better, less chances of something going wrong)

You can update straight to 4.5; if it's gonna cause any problem, nobody can really give you a certain answer, as you never know what may go wrong. In any case, you can always take advice from the forum or ask UA support if you face any problems and in the worst case, you can always roll back to a previous version.
