Has anyone done this? Did old projects that use battery 2 transfer over ok? Things like eq, compression etc.? Any problems/warnings?
Cheers |

| not too sure if that would work, i know when i had battery and tried to open a file that contained battery2 it wouldnt work, so i dont think it would work,someone correct me if i may be wrong though. |

It makes perfect sense battery 1 cant open battery 2 files. Battery 2 introduced a number of new features. Battery 3 is perfectly backwards compatible with battery 2.l The sample library alone is worth the upgrade. |

Thanks to both of you for the help. I've searched the NI forums etc. but no-one seemed to mention this. I guess that's a good sign.
Well since you have had no problems frOst I'll try the demo and re-install Battery 2 if anything goes wrong. I love Battery 2 so I'm looking forward to this.
Thanks again |

Ok so here's what I found:
I had to set up sidechaining, reverb etc. again because my previous drums routing was lost when I switched to Battery 3. There must be a way around this though...
The manual doesn't mention anything about getting round these type of problems upgrading from V2, dumb.
A couple of cells were corrupted. They were refusing to play sound even when a new sample was loaded and for some reason triggered another cell when clicked.
When you preview one cell quickly after another it glitches.
In the browser, files don't autoplay when you use the up and down arrows. This means you strain your arm from clicking.
Even though battery showed as using about 3% cpu max, there was a fair amount of stuttering. Even after reinstalling V2 my systems still unstable, I'm experiencing clipping/stuttering just by selecting tracks. It's gonna be fun ironing that one out!
I'm glad it's working for you frOst but I'm gonna wait 6 months minimum before I consider upgrading again.
Cheers. ;) |

What system are you running? Im running logic/ableton on osx 10.4. My only problem has been cells aren't lighting up when triggered.
Oh and yeah I lost my routing when going from 2-3 but that didnt take more than a few min to fix per project. |

i heard battery 3 sux and you should stick with 2
kind of like Halion, its just gotten uselessly complex and retarded with every version. manuel from vengenace still uses Halion 1. |

I'm running a P4 3.2 Northwood, 1 Gig Ram.
I'm sure with time these problems can be fixed, but I had a think to myself and realised that I don't need any more stuff. It would have been nice if it worked perfectly right away, but I really want to get stuck into sound design/engineering and not waste time on these less important things. |

Hehe, I didn't realise it was a sig. So you can see why I was wondering what the a dog in a top hat had to do with anything. |
