Call Cakewalk Tech support.  They are the ones who should know what's up
with this since it seems to be a function of Sonar's installation, not
CT.

Subject: [ddots-l] Sonar 5 installed without effects presets


Hi all.  Originally, I was going to email only Bill and Gord about this 
unusual problem but I thought it might be interesting to other Sonar
owners 
who may know of a solution.  When I first installed Sonar 5 Producer
back in 
June, I believe I had access to all of the effects presets that
supposedly 
come with the program although I don't entirely know for sure anymore.
I 
wasn't sure if I had all of the available soft synthes installed and a
list 
member recommended in another thread that I uninstall and reinstall
Sonar 
selecting "all" in each of the options screens for each software
component. 
This I did and ever since, the combo boxes for all effects presets have
been 
empty.  Like I say, I don't remember for sure if I had the presets on
first 
install.  The other thing I noticed is that all my other settings were 
intact from the previous installation.  I decided to completely remove
Sonar 
and Cake Talking as Bill advised me to do last week by clearing out all
Cake 
Talking script files in the Jaws Settings folder before uninstalling
Cake 
Talking.  I then uninstalled Sonar carefully deleting all files and
folders 
afterward with the hope of starting completely over.  I then upgraded
Cake 
Talking to the latest patch and reinstalled Sonar without messing with
any 
of the option screens.  Frustratingly, all my old settings were back, 
(normal template loads instead of quick start etc.) and effects preset
combo 
boxes were empty when I tried to patch them in either as real time or 
destructive effects.  Yes, the Cake Walk effects are available to be
used 
and modified but it takes a long time to set the parameters for each
effect 
when everyone else has factory presets at their disposal.  Of course,
the 
Perfect Space and anything else not fully supported are useless without 
presets.  I tried again uninstalling and reinstalling everything, this
time 
selecting the default settings button in each of the Sonar options
screens. 
Again, all my settings remained and no presets to be found.  AS a last 
resort, I upgraded to Sonar 5.2 but the presets were not restored. I
welcome any new information or suggestions to solve this problem so that
I 
can get back to recording.  Until then, my studio is dry.
Bob.
