[Resolved] X3-no audio metronome?

just curious if anybody else is having this issue. I'm not getting any audio metronome for playback or recording, pre-count, nada. Everything is set as it was in X2. X2 works fine. Is it just me? Is there a stray new check box or something I should be looking for?

ok-I found my problem (with your help Studio V-thanks!).
 
I had copied my Cakewalk Content folder to my data drive at some point while using X2, while leaving the original folder on my system drive. When X3 installed, it dutifully (I think-I don't recall doing this manually) put the X3 content in the folder on my data drive. However, it was looking to my system drive folder for the metronome wav. files. (I hope I'm making sense.) Once I copied the Sonar X3 content folder to the Cakewalk Content folder on my system drive, I had metronome sounds again.
 
I probably didn't notice this because I am able to point things like template folders where ever I put them, which in this case was my content folder on my data drive. 
 
I guess my question for Sonar or anybody would be is there any way for me to direct the metronome to a certain sound folder? I much prefer keeping the content in my documents folder on a data drive. Easier to manage, easier carbonite backup, etc. 
 
Thanks!

Within Edit > Preferences > Project > Metronome do you have a dropdown list next to "First Beat" and "Other Beats" containing a list of sounds? 

scook-thanks...may try that.
 
Dan-I'm all good now, as my ensuing message indicated; the X3 content was not where the metronome was looking for it.
 
I don't know if Studio Vheissu has a similar issue or different circumstances. Thanks!

Yes that is an incomplete command. The full command would be
mklink /j NameOfTheLink ActualDirectoryName
to get help type
mklink /?

The command that you entered
 
mklink /j "Metronome" "C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 Producer\Metronome"
 
would created the junction in the current directory. In which directory did you issue the command?

You created the link in the wrong directory. You can safely delete that link. What version of SONAR do you have?

This is an issue I encountered when I bought MC6 off Steam for $17.

That worked. Thanks so much.

Studio Vheissu
That worked. Thanks so much.

 
Hey, Vheissu.  I don't encounter a fellow Pynchon fan too often!

I have the same problem, no audio metronome on the dropdown list.
here is my solution,hope it work
1. instal sonar old version,i try to instal sonar 8 first
2. uninstal sonar 8
3. instal sonar x3
4. copy audio metronome folder from old sonar folder example C:\username\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR 8 Producer Edition\Metronome
5. copy the audio metronome into C:\username\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR X3 Producer
6. done, now open your sonar x3,and metronome is solved
