Hello Danny,
Yes -- an upgrade from v4 to v8 will present the option to reset audio routing to defaults, but that option isn't ticked by default. Hence by default existing audio routing will be migrated and preserved.
Whenever a new version of Hauptwerk launches for the first time, and prior to any settings being migrated, it will first make an automatic backup, so that all settings from the old version can be restored if needed. Automatic backups can be found in "<OS-user-home-folder>/Hauptwerk/AutomaticBackups". If he were to use "File | Restore ..." within Hauptwerk v8 to restore the last v4 backup from there then he would get all of his v4 settings back, and v8 would migrate them again on launch (offering the not-ticked-by-default options to reset things again as before).
Best regards, Martin.
