To my knowledge, there are no manual or workaround requirements for a C3 install of Cambridge.
 
I believe Cakewalk did not want to bulk up the user preset area of REmatrix automatically. So instead of populating the database, they provided the IRs and a discussion of how to manage the user preset area. User preset management is not a strong feature of REmatrix Solo.

Am I misunderstanding this whole Les Paul/DimPro thing? I thought it didn't work properly for a bunch of folks here and they've been busy sorting it with the included manual?

Yes, you are misunderstanding the issue. The Les Paul package installs OK but there is a cosmetic issue WRT the layout of the Multisample component. I actually did bother to reorganize it...it took a couple of minutes to rebuild the programs.

"Braintree"
"Cambridge"
Do I sense a pattern here?

 
The initial release was code named "Allston"

I'll take that as a yes!!

I can see why Overloud wanted to go that route. To get users to upgrade to the full version.

I doubt the motivation was to encourage upgrades.  Overloud has always imported IRs into their products rather than reading them from a user defined directory. With REmatrix they took it one step further placing the IRs in a SQLite database.

I love the idea Craig. A review of things that will work with Sonar is a great idea. Perhaps members might to be induced to contribute too? I know Dave AKA Bitfipper did some reviews a while back that were outstanding. 
 
If this is also part of the membership it will be a wonderful valued added extra.
 
 

+1 from here.

I have not been a fan of the way Overloud has handled user IRs in the past and REmatrix looks like it will not change my opinion.

I agree, there's definite room for improvement. I figure they just assumed people would use the factory IRs and add a few of their own, but that's not how SONAR users roll  
 
FWIW I included a tip in the first release eZine of how I handle adding new impulses. It's unwieldy, but it's the best I've come up with for now.
 
Note that REmatrix Solo adds all your IRs into one big file named userIRs.rir, which is located at:
 
 C:\Users\Public\Documents\Overloud\REmatrix Solo\userIRs.rir
 
To prevent the User menu from getting too unwieldy, you can rename this file (e.g., userIRs_original.rir) so any existing files don’t appear, then experiment with loading the new impulse responses. This will create a new userIRs.rir file. Note which ones are your favorites, then delete the userIRs.rir file, change the original .rir file back to userIRs.rir, and re-load only your favorites.

I have though about creating a little db management tool for REmatrix but I am not sure if
1) I would use it
2) If it would really make it easier to maintain
Right now I am rolling around some ideas for a C3 support tool but not knowing the timeline for CW updates to the C3 put the chill on that idea. Still might mess with it this weekend if I get caught up on everything else.

Okay, I just got an email from Cakewalk. The problem is that's how my programs referenced the SFZs. I was keeping the SFZs separate because I was moving the Expansion Pack between two different computers (at home/on the road) and kept the multisamples, SFZs, and programs separate to make it easier to do transfers. The SFZs should have been in a folder that also had the multisamples. As you pointed out, the way it is now does "work," but it's messy.
 
I told Cakewalk if they could provide me the locations for where things are supposed to be, I could create a new set of programs that reference the correct locations and that could be done as an update to tidy up the multisamples folders.

Thanks Craig...

As I was uncertain the displayed available download was correct (it doesn't mention LPG), I will wait for a clean up fix before grabbing it... I am anxious to hear what you created, but my downloads are too difficult right now...

How come I don't see the Cambridge update in the Cakewalk command center? I paid for the year.. Everyone seems to have this update.

Well, http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3197819 so you are not alone it seems. Just out of curiosity, when you expand the Sonar Platinum (or whatever) tree in the connected products in Command Center, then click on Sonar Platinum, on the right hand side underneath the graphic, is the 'update' button not active ?



I know some people see that it says 'Braintree (whatever version) and just assume that it is saying that is the latest version, when bellow the 'Update" button is active and will take you to the new version

The yellow means an update is pending. C3 shows that you are running Braintree. Everthing below the core has never been installed. You really want to install at least the Anderton and Boz Collections if you want the new plug-ins added to the new SONAR. The "Help and Tutorials" adds the local help and Reference PDF (along with a GB tutorial). The NYC Impulses are extra content for REmatrix. You should also see the Brian HardGroove Collection at the top of the C3. To read up of the Braintree stuff you have not loaded see http://static.cakewalk.com/cakewalk/products/sonar/release_notes/Welcome_to_the_SONAR_Braintree_Release.pdf. To read up on Cambridge see http://static.cakewalk.com/cakewalk/products/sonar/release_notes/Welcome_to_the_SONAR_Cambridge_Release.pdf

No, it is not necessary to reinstall. Did you log out of C3? That will reset the indicators.

I thought logging out causes C3 to forget the indicators. Generally there is no reason to log out of C3. If the red indicators don't bother you then just install the core, Anderton and Boz collections. This will get you to Cambridge. Make sure to read http://static.cakewalk.com/cakewalk/products/sonar/release_notes/Welcome_to_the_SONAR_Cambridge_Release.pdf

I just installed (via CCC)the LP Goldtop, Hardgroove, and Boz and they all show up, where I expect to find them.
I haven't done the Platinum/core(?) part, yet, as I am just reading this thread. I have no need to hurry there....I suppose, since I am not doing anyone else's projects and can keep working on my X3e versions, that I could load it and live with it, till the fixes arrive.
 
I didn't install Rapture, Celemony, nor Dim Pro with Platinum, since I already had them how/where I wanted them with my X3ePE. So, the fact that I'm using different serial numbers and library locations, makes me wonder if I won't need to concern myself with that (ever?), in terms of CCC. Any comments? Steve Cook? Craig, CW guys?

***So, I am wondering whether the fix(es) will be in the install/update, if I wait or are they separate?
