I was skeptical of upgrading having enough audio war stories but...
I made a copy of my D:SFP directory to C:SFP and installed over the original D:SFP. Started up SFP 4. No problems. Copied over my startup and XTC projects and still no problems. Side note: I am running ASPI 4.6 because that's what's required for Adobe Audition to rip CD's - eventhough the install notes for Scope 4 specify 4.7. No problem with the install!
All in all a smooth upgrade - maybe the smoothest I've ever had in my studio. The whole thing took less than twenty minutes.
My impression is that SFP 4 is more solid. Operating Optimaster is way smoother with no jitter during analysis. Also my OV1 which I use as a two-way Control Surface to the mixer (via MIDI)is much more responsive with multi-audio and MIDI tracks.
Congratulations CW team!

I was able to download everything far faster than ever before (I think i had SFP4.0, modular 2, modular 3 and the english manual all downloaded in under 20 minutes directo from the Cwaudio.de site). When I got around to requesting my SFP 4.0 keys I recieved them fairly quickly without any issues, and then download my keyfile from MyPage, everything installed without a hitch.
