Should I upgrade from VE Pro 5 to 6?

[musicalweather]

Hi all,
I'm contemplating upgrading my VE Pro from 5 to 6. Time+Space happens to have a pretty good upgrade price right now - $78 (though it ends in only a few hours!). It sounds like version 6 allows for better organization, more customizing, and more efficient usage. I'm just wary of upgrading something that might still be buggy.

Here's my setup: Macbook Pro with 16 GB ram, Mac OS Sierra (10.12.6) with Digital Performer 9.51. Slave machine is a PC with Windows 7 Pro, 32 GB ram, and VE Pro 5.4. VE Pro works quite well here -- no problems with crashes. Multiple instances of it can get quite clunky to deal with, though.

What would you recommend?

If you're constantly accessing it to changing things, disable tracks, etc. then yes. If your slave is set-it-and-forget-it then not really.

Yes.

It's faster to work with, looks better, easier to organize... you'll never wish to go back. And it has VST on Mac too. I find that very handy because it's possible to configure VEPro6 templates on Mac and transfer it to PC (if the same libraries are installed on both).

Got it. Thanks for all your input.
