Go to My Documents/Cakewalk/Sonar/sample contents & press enter on the AAA template you'd like to utilize... Now, make any changes you require, like, for instance, FX you typically use on Auxiliary busses etc. & certain midi trax with any soft synths you might typically use. Now, save the template as the folowing: Note: (You must write the file name verbatim!) Normal.cwt And, save it in the same folder you got the AAA template from. Now, the "customized" template will load every time you click on the Sonar icon... l8r ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Howerton To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2010 1:04 PM Subject: [ddots-l] changing default template that comes up when sonar loads Hello all, Can someone inform me of how to change the default template that comes with when sonar loads?
