Sonar X2 install problem

You could try this,
Intall to th c drive, but where you get an option to install certain items somewhere else, then choose the d drive for those things.
For example load all content and wave files etc to d drive, as they take up the most space.

That way the brains of x2 will be on the os drive, but all the referenced materials and files will be on the d drive.
I beleive this is actually preferable as it should work more efficiently.

Also, 'a must do' is to change the location of the audio folder to another drive from C.
Thi speeds up peformance, as windows and programs access C drive and Audio is written to a seperate drive while recording.

On my machine, although i specified my E drive as the audio drive in preferences (press P) i still have to change the audio folder drive letter to E when saving a project.

Wen saving a project i make a new folder with the song name to save to, and underneath that box where it asks where to store audio file i simply change the drive letter to E, and then make sure the same song name folder is added to the end of the string.

Eg
G\x2projects\bluesuedeshoes
E\x2projects\audio\bluesuedeshoes

Hope this helps and sorry if you already knew this stuff

Wildman, Thanks for your response. I shall give it a try. I am thankful for all the help I can get. I am 77, and my knowledge of computer operative systems is still at the plug-and-play level.  

Thanks for the encouragment, but it shall take some time. Everything does at this age!

You have something set up incorrectly as my saves (project and the associated audio) are saved on the E drive with no additional input from myself.
Double check the Folder Locations page of the Preferences as this should control the save location and it does seem to work.
 
Grum.
 

I have to specify E drive for the audio drive when i first set up a new song project.
Then pressing save works ok, but when pressing save as i have to respecify E drive again.
?

I do think that the install creates a Cakewalk Projects folder on your C: drive, but after install, just create one (or cut and paste) to your D: drive, then go into Sonar Preferences>Folder Locations and change the path for the Cakewalk Projects folder to the one you put on your D: drive.  

This way your projects will not eat up your SSD storage.  If you also have the default set to create an audio folder for each project, all of that will also be placed within each project folder stored on the D: drive.
