Installing the software onto your computer

Before installing the software

amount of system resources.

installed already, the previous software will co-exist with the new version.

after SonicStage has been installed. As a precaution, we recommend that you back up

your music data. To back up the data, refer to [Backing Up My Library] – [Backing

Up Data to a Disk] on SonicStage Help.
