No matter what sequencing program you use, you either have in the past or will at some time in the future use other software. Whether you’re switching from one DAW to another, or simply upgrading to the latest version, or changing your template, your plug-ins and/or your outboard gear, at some point between upgrades and other system changes you will no longer be able to open your files using the original software with which they were created.
That’s why I recommend always saving a standard MIDI file whenever you’re done with a cue. When you save a standard MIDI file, you’re ensuring you’ll always be able to go back to your project even if you’re using different software. You’ll always be able to import that standard MIDI file into whatever DAW you’re currently using and make it work again.
