I have been loading my VSTs, and just realized there arent any Cakewalk or third party effects available in the program.  Also, there is no Cakewalk Projects folder with any demo material.  
 
Is there a CW download of a project I can import and start loading up with FX?
 
The only FX I have been able to find are the pro channel.

This describes what is included with the trial version https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Web-Trial

I typed "what effects are included in Sonar X3 trial version" into Google. The first link went to a press release concerning availability of a trial version. The second took me to the page referenced by scook that lists what's included.
 
With all due respect, I think your next thread should be titled "how do search engines work?"

You cheapen my efforts to assist a very needy newbie

Anderton,
The page lists what is included, not what isn't.  For instance it doesnt tell you that its missing the demo projects (i think).  And it only lists like ten things it has of the thousands of actual features. 
 
Let me know if you ever need me to pee in your cornflakes again.
 
Scook-
Thanks, I see the 2 cakewalk fx in my list of VSTs now.

Whatever you do please don't type 'scook' into Google. If you do this the internet might start working! :)

Forgive me for reading the subject title of this thread 'does the X3P Demo have any effects installed?' and the opening post. These appear to be new questions.

As far as demo projects are concerned please Google 'sonar x3 demo projects'. With some projects you may have to remove missing effects (I don't know though because I've never tried them).

You asked "Does the X3P Demo have any effects installed?" You didn't ask what isn't included.
 
As to your question about demo projects, if you had typed "Cakewalk sonar sample projects" into Google you would have found the following, third link down from the top:

I'm more than glad to help newbies, but you claim to be a software professional and that your time is extremely valuable. So, I'm frankly perplexed as to why you don't just take the quickest and most direct route to finding the answers to your questions. People usually come here only after trying to find the answer for themselves, and with questions whose answers can't be found simply by communing with Google for a few seconds.
 
But hey, it's a free country and a very open forum, so feel free to keep asking questions until people lose patience. I'm generally an impatient person, so I'm off to other endeavors now.
