I've got a license for Cubase Pro 8.5. Since I'm visualy impaired I'm using a hight contrast theme on Windows 10. This doesn't work with Cubase 8.5. So instead I'm using Cubase 7.5 (that works with the high contrast theme).

My question is: If I install Cubase 8.5. Will I be able to use the Cubase 8.5 plug-ins in Cubase 7.5 ?

If you mean the built-in ones, then yes, you can.
And probably any others, too.

Ah, yes. I mean the built-in ones.
Well, that was good news. Do you know if it's possible to only install the Cubase 8.5 plug-ins without installing teh whoel DAW? I

As far as I know, no, sorry. :(

Well, I'll install the whole thing then.

Hopefully I'll get some bonus plug-ins to add to 7.5. Or at least some upgraded versions of existign plug.-ins :-)

Meanwhile if someone has figured out how to make 8.5/9 look like 7 (the theme, contrast, fonts, etc.) it would be a deal maker for me. Cuz that's one of the reasons preventing me from using it.

Are the, eventual, benefits of using 8.5 instead of 7.5 worht the trouble?

I don't know what's better in 8.5/9. But whatever it might be there's nothing I feel I really miss in 7.5.

From top of my head - nested VCA faders and import tracks from any other project without first making track archive of them.

In 9 - history of changes in mixer and lower zone which is useful if working on single display.
