[ddots-l] Re: Finding templates

But the documents folder is on the C drive.  You don't want your audio there.  
Are you saying tht you change the default path of your documents and settings 
folder?

  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,

    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
