It makes sense not to load projects created/completed with a more advanced version in an inferior version.
Keep in mind the missing features, FX and instruments.
Well, this is what we do and it’s actually fine - apart from the once mentioned above. Plugins which aren’t available in the Artist version are greyed out (and I try not to use them) but they come back when I load into the full version. And as far as I’ve noticed there’s no features which stop Artist from working and loading the project, we interchange projects on a very regular basis with no problems.
I think for a band it’s a great way to work because I’ve got the full version and I do all the complex stuff like time-warping, tempo-warping, tuning up, mixing, tidying, etc. and the two other people I work with can hear the project exactly as I do but they pay less for their version because they don’t need the features that I need. They simply need to record instruments tweak the arrangements, tweak midi etc, and that’s about it.
Mike.
