installing Max 8 and Max 9 at the same time
Hey,
Is it easy and straightforward to install max 9 and keep the existing max 8 installation ?
I've done that in the past, not tested yet with those new versions, maybe the answer is 'yes, just rename your older max 8 to "max 8.app" ' or something ! but maybe things have changed, maybe there are better practices to do that kind of stuff, so here i am to benefit from the experience of other users who would have crossed the gap already.
Thanks in advance
yes, just rename your older max 8 to max 8.app
a couple issues as I am also the first time crossing threshold
1. installing max 9 creates a new documents folder with all existing Max 8 documents
but when creating 'new' document in 9 - they are not automatically added to 8 - visa versa
is it true then one should be careful about managing patches that are saved in /Documents between 8 and 9?
seems to be some slight hiccups typing/loading patches from /documents in 9 that were originally created in 8
example : opening a patcher with RNBO external inside a bpatcher doesn't recognize external
-re-exprorted RBNO to 9 (RNBOGenerated)
(most) externals began working
feels like an AI deep learning experience!
