BOB OC Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi all...my first post here. I very recently re-introduced myself to Cakewalk after dabbling lightly in Sonar six or seven years ago. Turns out I've forgotten just about everything I ever knew (which wasn't much to begin with!). I have many questions, but my first is this...I'm trying to create a new project, but in the opening pop-up that appears when you start Sonar, it's only the three projects I've already started. I'd like to begin with one of the preset options (I think one is 8-track, or something like that), but when I click on the New Project tab, the box is blank. When I go to the top left and hit "File" and the "New," it only gives me the basic option (blank project). I uninstalled and re-installed CW this morning but that didn't solve the problem. Any advice is appreciated. As mentioned, I do have several other questions regarding my sound card, VST plug-ins, etc. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Argo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 By default, CbB will install samples of template in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates Make sure you see several sample templates there. In Cakewalk, the option to change the template folder is in Edit --> Prefereneces --> File --> Folder Locations --> Templates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB OC Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I think the problem is that I've screwed up by moving a bunch of folders and files. A few weeks ago, I started moving a lot of Cakewalk stuff onto my Data drive because I was running out of room on the SS Drive. As you suggested, I looked in the Folder Locations section and it's a mess: most of the lines say "app data/roaming/cakewalk...etc." I think I'm going to need to backup everything to an external drive and start totally fresh with a new CW download... Thanks again...I'll keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
