Yea, assuming that sonar is set to allow more than 1 project open, open a new project from a template (use ctrl+n), and select something like 8 or 16 midi tracks. After this, open the old project. Select all the midi tracks you want to copy, and select from beginning to end. Then, ctrl Tab back to the new project and paste those tracks in. It will put the data in the current tracks, it won't make new ones, so your best bet might be to do it 1 track at a time. After all your tracks are copied, insert whatever soft synth(s) you want to use, and start assigning outputs! HTH, D!J!X! -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Clearwire Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 9:03 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Transplanting Old Projects into New System Hi all! I'm using a new system that includes Caketalking and Cakewalk for Sonar 8.5 studio, Jaws 11, on Windows 7. I have old projects that include midi tracks with audio tracks created from mixing down. These are from around Cakewalk 4 Producer Edition. I recorded these projects using Edirol Orchestral Soft Synth, but now I've switched to GPO. I tried opening one of them, but it wanted to look for missing audio data and seemed to mess with the new PlugIn when I tried to go back to a new project I recently made. So, would it be possible to paste the midi tracks into the new project, then choose which patches I want to use? If so, can someone please tell me how?
