Thanks Dave. Thanks again Jonas.

Yeah...what Dave said !

Man, I'm going to read this thread from top to bottom. I found out about the template from somebody in the songs forum very recently; downloaded it, and modded it with EZ drummer and plugged one of my piano synths into it for permanent - like.

I had a listen to just the drums so far (routed the kick, snare and OH exactly like original), and OMG. If the rest of the template is this promising, this is going to be a godsend!!!!

I do have some routing questions and questions about levels (like of the sub, MONO L & R channels, etc.), but will read this thread to try and shed some linght.

(One thing I noticed though after I imported my entire project into it, with all the busses' effects she uses QUITE a bit of horsepower - horsepower that I have in small measure unfortunately. Any tips on boosting power could be helpful, other than adjusting latency all the way RIGHT or SAFE.)

This is awesome!!! Jonus, you ROCK!

Here are some questions from DAVE earlier in this thread that I'd love to have answered as well:

- I'm surprised he did not place a compressor on the piano track. It seems to me that this would be pretty standard.

- Why does he send only the drum overheads track to the drum bus and not the kick and snare tracks as well?

- No compressor on the drum tracks or drum bus seems odd too.

- After adjusting all of my individual track levels during the mix process, I found that the Mix Left and Mix Right buses were overloading by almost 5dB (Peak levels). Consequently, the Master bus is overloading a bit too. Is it OK to reduce the levels (say, 6dB) on each of the Mix Left and Mix Right busses to bring everything down to a respectable level?

- Shouldn't the output of the "sub master bus (do not touch)" be set to "None"? On closer inspection, I realized that the output of the sub master was being to sent to my sound card. This meant that the sub master output AS WELL as the Master output was being sent to my sound card. So, it should be set to "None" right?

This template is another good reason for Sonar to have the ability to EXPORT/IMPORT projects.

The coding pretty much exists already with the track templates code.

I want to be able to save parts of a project, with audio/midi,.., to a new project.

I want to be able to load this template and then import any of the dozens of existing projects.

Thanks Jonas! Good job.

Has anyone else had problems getting this template to work in 8.01?

It works fine in 7.2 and I can save and then open that project in 8.01, but creating a new project from scratch in 8.01 won't work.

In case anyone is interested I opened an empty project I'd created in 7.2 using the template, and then saved that from Sonar 8.01 overwriting the non-working template. It then worked. Strange!

Edit: Oh, and thanks very much Jonas. It's really useful.

I also had this problem, and had a similar solution. I have a bunch of stock "Project Templates" I created that have always opened with new versions of Sonar. I had to open each Project Template directly as an actual project in S8 and save them as new templates. Then they worked in the "New" project template selector. I figured it was a 'personal problem', but now I know I'm not the only one.


P.S. Thanks for the template Jonas!

cheers my man, thanks for the freeby, can`t wait to try it out.

I've used this template since this thread first appeared and shared it with others. Over time, I have modified it to suit my needs, but it is still my main template. Thanks again, Jonas.

Another download.
Some good ideas in there.
Can't wait to try it.
