Jean, as the scripts for CT8.3 and CT8.5 share the same script source then,
this should be easy enough to do.  It would just be a case of updating the
CT installer for CT8.3.1.

  The loop construction view support is the main reason I bought the CT 8.5
scripts so, I was very dissapointed to find out that it was not supported in
a version of CT that I didn't evenknow existed, I.E. CT 8.3.1!!!
  It seems to me that DD should consider making this feature available in CT
8.3.1 since I have no intention of upgrading to Sonar 8.5 for a while.

    Mike.  me thinks that DD put out the announcement in a hurry, smile.
Also, Jean is right.  From bill's original post:

    "Loop Construction
    CakeTalking now fully supports the Loop Construction View. In this view,
    rhythmic audio clips can be converted to groove clips that contains
tempo,
    beat and pitch information. This allows SONAR to stretch the groove clip
so
    that it conforms to the tempo and key of any project you import the
groove
    clip into."

      I guess you're directing this at me, for my somewhat angry postings...

      That's cool, but, by the same token, certain people have stated with a
distinct degree of authority, that CT etc. will work in one way or
another...

      However, I don't think I'm the only one whose found the information
given confusing, to say the least!

      I mean, Bill said that CT 8.5 would render Sonar 8.3 totally workable,
which isn't the case, then, it would seem, CT 8.3 appears out of nowhere!

      If a simple explanation of the installation procedure could've been
posted in the first place, along with the very existence of CT 8.3, then
none of this confusion would've arisen!

      If you can't see that this whole 'trip' has been fraught with
misinformation, then that is your problem, all I am saying is, why can't the
correct details be given from the outset!

      Simples!

      Mike

        Hi folks.

        I'm not a moderator of this list, so I hope you all won't mind me
expressing this opinion.  But I do work in tech support and moderator an
extrmely busy forum with thousands of members so I can speak from
experience.

        Please remember when you're answering someone on this and any other
list, that there are actual real people at the end of your message that are
only trying to help out.

        I don't think this list was meant to be an avenue to Dancing Dots in
terms of tech support issues, that's why they have a contact page and phone
number.  So expressing anger here might get seen by someone in charge, it
can't be guaranteed.

        Also, you can't assume that someone else has the same knowledge and
experience that you do, so even if someone asks something that to you sounds
really dumb, remember it's only easy or obvious if you know how.

        I always go by the philosophy of, if you wouldn't say something in a
pub over a beer, find another way to say it, or don't say it at all.

        Because we're dealing with a text only medium, it is even more
important to make sure what we type is actually expressed in the way we want
to say it, or it can appear harsh, patronizing or even rude, when that may
not have been your intention.

        We're all here to learn from each other and to pass on advice and
experience, none of us are here as official tech support people, so if
you're having serious tech issues, go to the people that can deal with it.

        But if someone brings up something that really needs the attention
of Dancing Dots tech support, don't tell them off for daring to raise it
here, just gently point them that way.

        Politeness costs nothing but says a lot about the person.

        Rudeness also costs nothing and says even more.

        This is just a general point, not pointed at someone specifically,
but I thought it needed saying.

        Take care all.
