From time to time the MuTools codebase is cleaned up in order to keep it light and fresh towards future developments. Sometimes this means removing old code sections which were specific for maintaining compatibility between old project/preset file formats.įor example MuLab 7 can only load projects saved with MuLab 4.2.0 and up. No panic though, this does not mean you cannot open older projects in MuLab 7 anymore, it only means that for such old projects there is an extra step. The extra step is that the old project is first opened and resaved eg with MuLab 4.5 (which still contains that compatibility code) and so then it can be opened with MuLab 7. ![]() Practically: If MuLab cannot open an older MuProject file it will neatly tell you which MuLab version saved the file, and which MuLab versions you need to use to upgrade the project.įYI: You can also open a MuProject file in a text editor so to quickly see with what version it was saved.Īttention: Do not edit nor save the file with a text editor though as it will become unreadable because the text editor most probably will add extra data which is unknown by MuLab. There also is an easy function to upgrade all your projects in one go: MULAB menu -> "Upgrade Projects". So if you have a neatly organized project folder, upgrading projects is quick and easy. You can find the necessary older versions here: Registered users who need their old MuLab key to unlock one of these past versions, mail to. Note that, although MuTools will always try to maintain as much sound compatibility as reasonably possible between successive versions of MuLab, it's possible that a newer version of MuLab does not sound 100% the same as a previous versionīecause of little sonic differences caused by, for example, changes in the audio engine, the usage of a new or improved DSP algorithms etc. Again that's rather exceptional and should minimal.īut if you are into professional production and perfect version management is important to you, then it's recommended to keep your different MuLab versions on file so that you can open a certain project in its original MuLab version if necessary. Of course, make sure not to overwrite such project by saving it from a newer MuLab as, like most software, MuLab project files are not forward compatible eg. you cannot open a MuLab 7 project file in MuLab 6.Īlternatively, you could also mixdown tracks in the older MuLab version and import the audio files into the new MuLab version to preserve the exact same sound. ![]() Note that before MuLab 6.4 "projects" were called "sessions" and the session files had extension ".MuSession". Now MuLab projects have the extension ".MuProject". It's life with a DAW that's not widely advertised and covered in the magazines.The Rim808 en Snare808 factory samples sound a little bit different (better!) than in M6.If you have made front panels that include a sampler section you may have to update that front panel as the sampler section now also includes time stretch options and hence has a bigger size.The change in terminology has no impact on the content of the MuSession/MuProject file. Whenever this issue is raised, there are always plenty of other hosts that are omitted. Mixcraft, Waveform, Mixbus, Bitwig, MuLab, Audacity, Cantabile and MAGIX Movie Studio are also missing from the list of supported hosts. The more hosts they guarantee support for, the greater the likelihood that they'll need to revisit the code. It doesn't even necessarily mean that they didn't test with a given host, it could be that they don't want to commit to guaranteeing support for it. CbB still has bugs (as does all software), but they're in the realm of features not functioning correctly in certain cases rather than crashing all by itself. If it's crashing on you, 90% or more of the time, it's a plug-in compatibility issue. Host/plug-in compatibility is fraught with issues. I used to do it and made pretty good bucks at it. It doesn't mean it won't work with that host, it usually means that they simply didn't test that host. A LOT of plugin developers don't list Cakewalk by Bandlab.
