Michael Fogarty Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I did a bunch of kids songs for some friends dragging and dropping the media files drum loops into the timeline -a great shortcut for recording live drums or tapping them out since they are for simple kids songs. However, after a clean install to Windows 10 (not relevant but letting you know) when I click on the media pulldown menu they are no longer there. (or I don't see them and can't navigate to them.) How do I get these back? The ones that I dragged into the songs are there in the timeline but no longer can I create new songs with them as the media is not there. Do I need to find them and install them again? Were they part of Sonar Platinum and not Bandlab? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I believe they were part of the Cakewalk Sonar content (loops/one shots) that came bundled with Sonar Platinum. You can always download that loop content from your Cakewalk Command center and reinstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fogarty Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 yes, ok. Thank you. I don't see any loop content on the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just to be clear, what used to be called "Loops and One Shots" was reorganized content from Beatscape bundled with X2-3 Producer. This was not part of Platinum. The 3 libraries shown above were part of SONAR installs (including Platinum) for some time. Platinum also included other loop libraries. They should show up at the Command Center top level. These include the Brian Hardgroove Collection (Braintree exclusive), Kick Start Expansion Pack (Everett exclusive) and Big Fish Audio Loop Content.

Michael Fogarty Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) well, folks, they don't show up in mine. Any other suggestions on how to get them back? Scook, are you saying I would need "beatscape"? PS - I obviously need a class in screenshots as well. Greatly appreciated Edited February 12, 2019 by Michael Fogarty clarity and more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 No, Beatscape was dropped starting with X2. Like the "Loops and One Shots" installer, the synth has nothing to do with Platinum. I just checked the Command Center and my account, the loop libraries are gone. IIRC, they were removed during the shutdown in 2017. support@cakewalk.com may be able to help.

synkrotron Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi @Michael Fogarty Regarding screen shots. First of all if you only want to copy a dialogue box or an active window you can do that by holding down the alt key then pressing the print screen key. Or, alternatively you could paste into paint first and then crop to size. I am assuming you are using windows... Cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see any of those titles. Lets start with something easy (Which you probably should have been included in your opening post). What version of Sonar did you own ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The files are not there in his command center either. Is the screenshot you posted from your most recent visit to Command Center? So the easy question is, why do you have it and we don't? The version I used/use is in my first post. If you have any way to retrieve these it would be much appreciated.

I hit the windows key and print and put in paint. used to get better results. So, I hit the alt key, print key and then what? Control V to my desktop? Thanks for the help.

msmcleod Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Looks like these loops disappeared at the time of Cakewalk Inc shutdown: http://forum.cakewalk.com/loopmasters-sample-magic-and-xmix-content-collections-won39t-install-m3692709.aspx Presumably their license became defunct when Cakewalk Inc became no more.

Hiya Michael Open Paint and then Control V into there, and then save the image to your hard drive (Pictures is best) and then from there attach it to your post. Also, as I am a bit "old school" and always use the Print Screen button, I keep forgetting about the Windows Snipping Tool. Hit the Windows key and then start to type snipping, and select Snipping Tool. Looks like this:- Click on the New button and it allows you to drag a selection window of any part of your display and adds it to the clipboard. Then do the same as above which is, Control V into Paint and save to your Pictures folder so that you can drag it into here. There are four modes altogether:- It really is a, erm, snip cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the Snipping Tool, you already have cropped it the way you want, and you can "Save As..." right from there into your Pictures folder. No need to two-step it through Paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very recent, it was from yesterday. They do show up in Command center. However, the products do not show up on my Cakewalks products page. I do have Sonar Platinum still installed on my PC, Probably why I still have them and thought they were still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) I just launched Command Center and these loop libraries are still showing up for me: Big Fish Loopmasters Sample Magix X-Mix However the Big Fish libraries are the only ones that will download and re-install OK. Just tested a re-install with Big Fish Urban Loop Collection. I just get a "did not complete" error for Loopmasters, etc. when I try to install them.
