Hi all,
Im looking to upgrade my DAW to Sonar 8. While Im at it I also wanted to do a fresh XP install without all the junk and upgrade my sound card. Im not a computer wiz so I have a few questions.
I want to be able to interface my SCA N72 pre with the DAW but Im not sure if I need to buy a A/D converter, a PCI interface or both. I currently run the N72 into the front end of a Presonus Firebox and then into the DAW via Firewire. The Presous does the conversion. I would like to build a second N72 at some point so I would need a 2 channel card or converter. Whats the best way to go about this??
Also when I upgrade to Sonar 8 can anyone tell if I need to uninstall my previous version or does it install over the previous version?? Are there any issues with using older plugins?
