[ddots-l] Re: Finding templates

By storing projects and audio in the Documents folder, your projects,
audio data, templates, and other Sonar files are automatically included
when you run ntbackup. This makes it real easy to backup your DAW.

Hello:
In my oppinion, I still prefer to put my track templates in a sub
directory of my default cakewalk projects folder.  I know that cakewalk
has adopted the strategy of putting everything in the DOcuments and
settings folder to comply with Vista protocols, but I like to have my
own stuff in a place that is simpler to keep track of.  You can either
type in the path in the edit box, or press the space bar in the button
that says "dot dot" before the edit box to open up a normal browse
dialog.

        Hi, Jim,
         
        Look under Options | Global and press CONTROL+TAB until you get
to the Folders tab.  Tab until you reach the field for templates.
         
        I believe if you tab once more and land on the ... and press
ENTER, you can point SONAR to a different place.  I have never done this
but I suppose you would want to find the default location and use
standard windows commands to copy and paste that folder into a new
location.  Then use this Folders dialog to point SONAR to that new
location.  Or perhaps there's a way to do all of that within this
dialog?
         
        I tabbed to the Help button at the end of this dialog and
brought up the relevant SONAR help text.  Here are some excerpts:
         
        Global Options dialog--Folders
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
         
        Using the Options-Global command opens the Global Options dialog
box. Clicking the Folders tab gives you access to options you might want
to set for all
        your projects. 
         
        This tab lets you specify folders for all your different kinds
of SONAR files. The default locations for all of these file types
usually work well. However,
        if you find that this folder gets cluttered, changing the
locations of the file types listed on this tab won't hurt anything, as
long as you remember where
        you put things. 
         
         
        Track Templates 
         
        These files store your most commonly used track settings,
including track type (MIDI or audio), effects and their settings,
hardware input, bus send settings,
        and a variety of other track-related parameters. The default
directory is the Track Templates folder located in: 
         
        Windows XP: 
         
        C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Cakewalk\SONAR 7 <Producer or Studio> Edition\ 
         
          
         

        Regards,
        Bill

        Hello all, I've recently had to swap my E-drive in my audio work
station, now whenever I attempt to start a new project, I see only two
templates and they are normal, and something about playlist.  Can some
one tell me how to go about associating the templates with my e-drive?
Thanks
