I just bought the ST4 and noticed when I attempted to install it I ran into some of the same problems as others have pointed out in some other threads, so I just went back and uninstalled/deleted everything and I am back at square one with my ST4 ready to install like I just bought it and have not downloaded anything yet. I am probably going to wait a week or so before I attempt to install again so hopefully more of the kinks will be worked out.
Having said that, with eyes on the future, I do have a question that maybe someone here can help me with.
After I do get the ST4 installed and everything up and running, I have used ST3 as a DAW plug-in a lot of my songs and I was wondering is there a way to transfer the exact ST3 plug-in settings (instruments, effect settings for each instrument, the channels they are on, etc.) to the ST4 plug-in without having to go back and make a manual duplication of the ST3 plug-in settings using the ST4 plug-in?
When I bought ST4 I was under the impression that it was going to be an upgrade to the current existing ST3, not a whole new plug-in, and when I upgraded to ST4 the ST3 plug-in I used in my songs up to this date would naturally be upgraded as well. But obviously I was wrong considering I got enough into the download process to find that out. (I still am looking forward to ST4 though and do not regret the purchase.) If anyone could help shed some light on the situation, it would be much appreciated.
PS: One additional thing I would add as a suggestion. An option of a different skin (or skins) would be great. While I could get used to the ST4 as is, the ST3 instrument menus, effect menus, etc., are far easier on the eyes.
