Back over here looking for some feedback about something new but beforehand wanted to thank everyone again who took the time to help me figure things out relating to storage/moving Project Files a few weeks back;as I posted then,great to know there's a supportive knowledgeable community of Cakewalk experts over here to check things with....
Anyways-
Installed Arturia Analog ab Lite a couple of weeks ago and been focusing in on it,getting a sense of what's what...initially I was playing some of the default Media Browser files through it,drag-dropping them to a track etcetc,but found a keyboard-focused sample pack I figured would give me a better idea of what the different instruments/presets sounded like....
First time I've gotten into this and being new to the computer OS-specific stuff involved,decided to post this thread instead of looking around online for the info..know I've seen the steps involved explained in one of the many softsynth-focused tutorials I've studied and have the link to saved in one of my email folders but since I wasn't sure which one.....
Just took a look at the folder in my Downloads,saw that they're wav.files except for one subfolder w/MIDI files and was glad to see that as luck would have it they're all Cakewalk MIDI so I'm sure things will be compatible....
Checking Downloads in the Media Browser I didn't see them listed,only a few of the Downloads folders were there(fortunately, as I have a lot of them!!)....also "Extract"kept flashing when I checked the samples folder itself....
Wasn't sure how to proceed,whether extracting things is necessary,and where to move the folder/what to do(Preferences settings?)to get them up and active in the Media Browser....rather than trying some of the options that came to mind(i.e.copying the folder to the Music folder or another location instead of it's current Downloads location)figured checking w/people over here would be a better choice....
Update-checked the manual and realized all I had to do was select the "Show all files and folders" Media Browser option-selected it and saw it the folder,clicked on it and saw it there by itself OK right away...but still glad I set up this thread as getting some ideas about all this stuff(Analog Lab Lite/Media Browser etc)from people for whom dealing w/things like this is a no-brainer is still something I'm interested in....
Actually still wondering if there's a way to get the parent folder to same location as the other similar folders-Audio Library/MIDI Groove Clips/PTN MIDI Files/Sample Content(this would probably be where it would go I'm thinking)that show up in the dropdown menu when you click the arrow on the right there in the Media Browser instead of where it is now(part of Downloads still)....
Continuing-saw this in the Reference Guide-
"Save Content Location Preset . Save the current folder as a Content Location preset.
By default, the folder name is used as the preset name, but you can type any desired name before you click the Save Content Location Preset button."
Clicked on the square icon at the top right where you do this,saw that it's now is on the list referred to in the previous paragraph but when I clicked on it,instead of opening I got the pop-up-
"The selected content location referenced missing files-C/User/Owner/Downloads/(folder name)-zip."
Double-checked/re-opened the folder itself in the Media Browser,verified all the subfolders were there..is the pop-up related to what I was asking about earlier above re-"Extract"....???
