re-installing V3 on a V5 D8B
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2016 9:42 pmI've been offered a used D8B with V5 software. I like V3. Can I re-install V3 on it?
I can't believe you'd prefer V3 to V5. Anyway, carry on.

As Peter said carry on. Yes you can re-install v3 you must see something the rest of us missed in v3
Good luck

Don't do it.
There is not one feature in 3.1 that is missing in 5.1. What you will get is approximately 250 bugs that were quashed in v5.1....pretty much all of them, as a matter of fact. With 5.1 you get an eq and dynamics section that actually does what the parameter numbers say (the dynamics in v3 are close to a joke). You also get a bunch of new features and a much nicer GUI.
If you are truly hellbent on installing v3, may I suggest installing it on a different hard drive, keeping the hard drive with v5.1 somewhere safe until you come to your senses...where it will only be a quick HD swap, rather than the insanely iffy floppy installation/authorization process.

Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2016 8:14 pmIt's just that I have a lot of on-going mixes in V3 mode, and I assume all the eq and dynamics already set would be trashed...

After installing v5.1 when you open a project the v3 files will be in a folder of their own, but for your peace of mine, copy them to floppy's.
