Retain Cakewalk Preferences dialog
If you choose to retain or migrate your preferences from a previous version of Cakewalk, the
SONAR installer finds the existing Cakewalk.ini files on your system. The list of Cakewalk.ini
files appears in the Retain Cakewalk Preferences dialog box. You may choose one from this list.
The preferences and settings stored in the older version's Cakewalk.ini and TTSseq.ini files
are then transferred to the identically named configuration files for Cakewalk. Cakewalk migrates
certain preferences to the Windows Registry rather than to the Cakewalk.ini file.
When you migrate your preferences, SONAR will:
1. Locate the Data directory (WaveData folder) used by your previous Cakewalk installations and
direct SONAR to use that folder for its audio storage and retrieval as well.
2. Automatically import any custom Instrument Definitions you used in your previous Cakewalk
version.
3. Automatically import other custom settings you have made in various Cakewalk menus and INI
files.
Revert dialog
The File > Revert command opens the Revert dialog box, which lets you open an earlier version of
the current project. Click the version of the file that you want to open. If you then save the earlier
version, it becomes than latest version. To use the Revert feature, file versioning must be enabled in
the Global Options dialog on the Autosave and Versioning tab.
Note: Migrating Preferences will leave the Data directory in its current location - it does not
move your audio recordings to a new location. It simply points SONAR to the audio you have
saved during previous recording sessions. This means that your previously recorded songs that
contain audio tracks should continue to open and playback as expected. It will also write new
audio data to this same location. You are free to manually change your Data directory at a later
time in SONAR's Options, Audio, Advanced tab. Advanced users may want to manually adjust
this Data directory location.
