I will try to take a look at this in a few minutes - have to wrap up helping on another thread at the moment.

Can you elaborate on the steps you are taking for this?

Thanks,

Just right click in the left side of the track view where the track numbers and fx are. In a blank section right click and choose insert tracks from template. I did this all the time in x1 but in x2 nothing happens.

Do you get a sub menu with different selections?

Well, I followed the doc from: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/default.aspx?Doc=SONAR%20X2&Lang=EN&Req=Arranging.08.html

Which seems to match what you are saying.

I had no trouble inserting Dom's Bass from the templates.

Do you see the list of templates open up when you right-click and tell it to insert from a template?

  Yes I see the list of templates the sub menus and everything like I did in x1. I can't load my custom templates or the stock templates. I can hear my computer loading samples or the like when I insert an instrument template and then nothing happens no tracks.

Can someone else jump in?  I am not having this problem.

Sorry - my brain is just toast.  Check your paths.

Hit H to see if somehow the track is not being displayed. H will bring up the track manager.

I use track templates all the time. They work from right clicking a track or dragging from the browser.

The one thing I did have to do was... go to Cakewalk Content and copy my X1 track templates to the X2 track template directory. Had to do that for fxchains and prochannel presets as well if I wanted the X1 content available in X2. Otherwise, works fine...


If you are talking Project Templates them you need to load those from the File Menu. I don't think you are, but just to be sure...

I have not used templates of any kind much. I did see if I could load one, a track template, and it loaded. The only other suggestion I have is check if the path to them is correct and that there are templates located at the end of the path.

I hope that you report back that all is working.

Re:Insert from template does nothing 2012/10/14 22:12:42 (permalink)
 I actually did that too John Thanks again. I think I'm going to have to do a re-install and see if that fixes the problem. to musicroom, I did both copied the files to the x2 defaults and then switched back to point x2 to use the x1 folders to no avail. I'll probably be reinstalling soon. Unless someone comes up with a solution. I can't remember but I think this used work for me in x2. I use them all the time so I'm sure I would have caught this much earlier than now. I don't know if I mentioned this goes for new and old projects.

I have the same problem. Importing Track Template does nothing.
Only clue I can mention is that I changed track templates path in preferences. In Track View context menu "Import track template" goes to the customized folder but Browser keeps on opening the default path. Stil no templates from either location work.
My workaround is to import track templates in X1 and make tracks manually.

funny you showed up panup I was going over in my mind what did I do differently and when and then it came to me. I tried out duckbar briefly about a week ago and found it corrupted some things so i uninstalled immediately. After putting things back together i didn't believe I had any more problems until this. And I was also just about to look and see if darkside was available for x2.

I just got done re-installing and it did not fix the problem. Now I think this is going to turn into at least 2 weeks worth of reinstalling everything from scratch. But I did want to wait until windows 8 came out before i did that.

Frank,

When you look in the cakewalk content folder do you see any of your templates?

Sounds like something has been corrupted to me possibly in the registry. An uninstall doesn't delete the registry keys though, they are there to be picked up by future installs.
 
*****WARNING*******
Before doing the following make a backup of the registry using File--->Export and be careful while editing the registry as it can render your computer unbootable if you start deleting stuff willy nilly........
 
Having said that this is perfectly safe.....
 
I'd start by uninstalling then open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\ and delete the X2 key if there is one. Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer and delete the X2 key there as well.
 
Finally check your user data folder as well.
 
Press the Windows key and enter %appdata% in the search box and then navigate to the Cakewalk directory and delete the Sonar Producer X2 folder if it exists.
 
You'll then be back to a pre X2 install state.

Re:Insert from template does nothing 2012/10/15 04:01:13 (permalink)
Hi Frank - had a WONDERFUL 4 hour nap.

I sent you a private message - please send a custom track template from your X1 and X2 track templates folders- to my private email, which is contained in the private message I just sent you.

I just want to try to load THOSE onto my system, and also test to see if there is something in those that are affecting your ability to load and test whether or not the mere presence of extra custom templates causes problems.

Just trying to be methodical,and so far 2 of us have had no issues in loading stock templates.

OK?

I'll be poking around for a little while waiting for coffee to brew up before tending to my own projects, so IF you happen to be awake I may be able to post back in short order once I receive the email reply with the attached templates.

Otherwise, I will check back mid-morning to see if you have responded and will test then - maybe around noon or so.

Bob Bone

  FastBikerBoy I totally missed this post, I am in the process of doing these steps right now. I know it will work, I actually bought a new ssd, did a clean install of w7 and installed x2 and I did not have this problem anymore, however, it's waaaaay too overwhelming to install everything I had on this system. Thanks a lot I hope this works. I'll report back.
