Gonna try 4.05

Ok i first bought 4.03 works brilliant but for the key changer doesnt work properly so i upgraded to 4.04

i had the stutter and slow down problem .

I am going to download 4.05 tomorrow and give it a full test before my show on friday.

I just want to make a check list of things to do

I will defrag my hard drive
i will make a system restore back up
i will download to disc the new 4.05 (i have the others on disc too)

I will do a video card update
i will do windows update

I will then defrag again

i am using windows vista I will make sure it is running netframework 3

i will then install 4.05
i will rebuild the data base from my external drive

am i missing anything else i should do ? (dont say pray)

Wait until you have everything updated and installed before you defrag. It will take less time that way.
You should not have to rebuild the database as installing 4.05 should not affect that.

Rob,

I would also run your test with a second monitor similar to what you use at your shows ( unless you don't use a second monitor).

I am going to wait , i only have a few singers who require key change and that's my only gripe with 4.03 so i have decides to make a list of tracks that they sing with key change its not many maybe 6 or 7 songs and with a software prog i have i can record them in a altered key , i will load these into hoster labelled accordingly this is a temp work around but i am waiting for a stable 4.06-or .07 before changing.

Hey Rob,
This may or may not help but if I recall correctly, the problem with the key change feature in 4.03 was it changed in full steps not half steps. (I no longer have 4.03 installed so I can't check.) If this is the case, each button will raise or lower the key one full step (no half steps). Anybody's song that is nomally +2 can be used in 4.03 by selecting +1. Just a thought.

Your work around is an excelent idea.

Jim
