Hi there,
I installed the trial, managed to record an audio track, but when it came to putting an effect on it, in the browser I only find very few things i.a. the vocal strip and the percussion strip, but none of the standard effects like reverb, delay etc. 
Any idea why that is?
Thanks, Alex
PS: I would have loved to post a screen shot, but the upload dialogue doesn't work. Any idea on that? :-)

Wilkommen.
What effects are available when you right-click in a track's effects (FX) bin?
 
This forum's software doesn't work well with all browsers. Firefox seems to be most ineffective. I'm on IE 8.
Or, you don't have the browser's zoom level at 100%.

Upload your screenshot to somewhere like Photobucket, then you can get the link code & paste it into the image dialog box on the forum.

Thanks,
here comes the screenshot of the effects that appear in both the browser and the effects bin:
 


I also tried to find a folder where the lost effects may have been stored erroneously during installation (like the metronome sound which I had to search for in the shared files...) but couldn't find anything. I'm rather reluctant to buying the whole package before having used let alone heard the effects :-)

They are not included in the demo. Effects bundled with SONAR depend on which version you buy.
