Thank Gordon, but what about the synths and effects? Does Sonar 6 recognise the effects on Sonar 4? If not, can I export them all and reimport them? I guess the simple question is this: Do I need to reinstall every plugin and VST or not?

Sonar 4 and sonar 6 will not install over each other. They will exist side by side on your system as two separate programs.

I have now purchased Caketalking 6 and Sonar 6 but when I was reading the Cakewalk install instructions they said one should NOT install over an existing installation and said one should install fresh and reinstall all plugins and VSTs. I was hoping to find a way to do it without having to reinstall all of the VSTs and plugins. Does anyone have any info on this?? Thanks, Christopher
