I have gone through multiple upgrades. Should I retain older versions of synths such as Mini V3 currently at Mini V4?
What are the disadvantages of deleting these?
If you have existing DAW projects that used those plug-ins, you’ll want to keep the plug-ins installed if you ever intend to open the projects again. The new versions are essentially new plug-ins, and they won’t substitute automatically for the old versions.
Other than that, if you have custom presets you made for the old versions, you might want to keep them around to use those, at least to use as a reference for recreating them in the new version. This also isn’t automatic.
Also, the stock presets are not necessarily the same, so if you have some favourites that you want to keep, that’s another reason.
Thanks, I checked and indeed there are significant differences in factory presets.
