Has anyone noticed that Sonar Platinum's mastering and mic, etc. templates are missing from the start screen? They are missing from my start screen. I have reinstalled Platinum twice since yesterday to see if they would materialize but to no avail! Any thoughts?

They do change the stock Sonar templates from version to version so its best to back up the ones you like so you'll have them in the future. Its done because of compatibility issues with versioning.
Nothing new.

Unfortunately, I don't have any backup. Have they archived anywhere?

I wonder if a rollback would lead to them?

Yes

Will do! Thanks for your help chuckebaby!

Is there one in particular you are looking for ? Im on the latest update and I see them.
 
Here's a screenshot I just took 2 minutes ago using Platinum 2017.10

 
I click on "New project" From Template and I scroll down almost to the bottom and they are mixed in with the Master+Mix templates.
If they are not showing on your start screen, try going to where the templates are stored in:
C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\Project Templates.
 
They are all listed in there as well.
 
Im going to be honest with you. I do a lot of mastering myself and I never use Sonars templates I create my own using much better plug ins and a much better Mastering chain (Waves, Brainworx,exc).

Missed it by one month; the last version containing the "Mastering Template" project templates was July 2017. Also as Chuck suggested make sure the Template setting in Preferences > File > Folder Locations points to the default location. If it is not set to the default location, the templates will have to be copied to the custom path.

I don't mean to change the subject here. But I was wondering if anyone might know how you can change the picture on the templates for the start screen? From what I understand it takes a snapshot picture when saving the template? Not sure about that, I was just wondering how you add a picture to them?
