Installing Sonar & CW On New System

[chamlin]

I've unsuccessfully searched for threads on best practices in installing. I remember there were guidance threads.

1.  Sonar Platinum first, then Cakewalk, right?
       A.  Where do I find the latest version of SPLAT? Do I download the old Command Center here? https://www.cakewalk.com/command-center
       B.  And jeez, all the plugins?

2.  Cakewalk should be easy, just log in to my account, install Bandlab and go from there, right?

3.  Is there an easy way to export a list of settings or do I need to create screenshots of every option and preference page?

4.  Other things to be aware or beware of?

5.  Hmm, I probably need to install my Focusrite 18i8 first, right?

Thx!

Yes, if you want to use some features/effects from SONAR Plat

Yes, after you install SONAR Plat. But nothing is ever easy, right

Screen shots will work

Yes, this way when SPLAT installs, it will see it
