Hi,
For anyone who attempted to download the 30th anniversary EQ presets and can't seem to find them (for example, has clicked on the ProChannel "untitled" and "load preset" button and found no presets loaded (no old presets and none of the 30th anniversary presets) here's the instructions I received from Cakewalk Technical Support:
----------------------------------------------
First go to this folder:
C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\ProChannel Presets
(note, this is not the folder my ProChannel goes to when untitled/load preset is selected--see below) Are you seeing various .pcp files listed there that start with "30th"? If so, these are the QuadCurve presets you are looking for.
Reply: Yes I see them. To load them in Sonar:
- Select the track you want to add a preset to.
- Go to: Views | Console View
- In the ProChannel section of the track strip, hover your mouse over the preset window. (It should say "Untitled" by default.)
- Click the folder icon
- This should bring up your ProChannel presets folder, where you can load your QuadCurve presets.
Reply: So how do I get the ProChannel to automatically go to the ProChannel Presets folder (the folder that's set up for ProChannel presets is empty). OK, great! For the folder issue, it looks like correcting this will involve making some registry changes:
- In the Windows search bar, type "Regedit", and then click on regedit to open it
- Click Yes to the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." message
- In the window to the left, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\UserPaths
- In the window to the right, double-click on "ProChannelStripPresetFolder"
- In the "Value data" section, type C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\ProChannel Presets
- Click OK
Reply: Excellent!! Everything works as advertised. For any track I can click on the ProChannel "untitled" and "Load Preset" and select any of the presets I've downloaded from Sonar, to include the 30th anniversary presets. Hope this helps.
