Silly question (maybe). Can someone tell me please where the Video Tutorials and Local Documentation, that are part of the Sonar Professional Manchester update, are downloaded to? The download page implies they are not integrated directly into Sonar Help but fails to mention the actual destination.

 
I don't think there are any videos included (we usually buy those, or watch the free ones on youtube).
 
The tutorial projects go to your "Cakewalk Content" folder under SONAR Platinum \ Tutorial Projects.  These are the tutorials used in Sonar' Help "Getting Started".
 
The Local Documentation goes to [your "Cakewalk" folder] \ SONAR Platinum.

In Sonar platinum when i go to the tutorials and open the project the only thing i see is how the tracks are setup nothing about how to use or add to the tracks. How is this a tutorial?
Thanks Steve

Check out CW's YouTube channel.  Tons of Sonar tutorials.  Here's the playlist for their "Getting Started" series:

Go down to the bottom of the page in the grey area and you will see the section titled, Community and News,   select one of the channels to find out more about Cakewalk Sonar.

Have Fun.

Check out Karl roses videos
https://www.youtube.com/user/ReallyFastBikerBoy
 
he also has some videos on Steamworks
https://streamworksaudio.com/author/karl-rose/
 
he really gets in to the finer details and explains things very nicely.
Groove 3 also has videos.
https://www.groove3.com/cakewalk-training-video-tutorials
 
but if your just looking to learn some basics / and more.
the cakewalk videos are really well put together.
https://www.youtube.com/user/CakewalkSoftware
 
 
if you really must have downloaded free videos...look in to the free YouTube downloader app.
those are helpful to download and take with you on the go (when you have no inter-webs).
 
the above should keep you busy.

New SONAR video tutorials will be starting up soon here as well...

The material in content is the projects that the tutorials are based on, so that you can follow and work through the way to use Sonar without having to create all your own content de novo. The tutorials i. e. instructions for how to use various common Sonar features using the tutorial content supplied are in the reference guide pdf, and oddly require that you be able to read.

You can also be notified directly from YouTube by going to my channel page and clicking the little gear icon next to the word "Subscribed" and then putting a check mark next to the "Send me all notifications for this channel" option. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't turn that on by default.
