Project template enhancements

Project template handling has been greatly enhanced in SONAR Gloucester.

Specify the default project template

In previous versions of SONAR, the default project template was always named Normal.cwt. You can now specify any available project template as the default template.

1.	Use the File > New command to open the New Project File dialog box.

2.	Select the desired template, then click Set as Default Template.

The default template is indicated by an asterisk.

The default template is used in the following situations:

When you launch SONAR while the On Startup Load Default Template global option is enabled in Edit > Preferences > File - Advanced.

When you press CTRL+N to start a new project.

The default template is indicated by an asterisk in the New Project File dialog box.

Enhanced project template settings

When you start a new project from a template, you can now specify the following additional settings in the New Project File dialog box (File > New) before the project is created:

Tempo

Meter

Bit Depth

Sample Rate

You are no longer required to immediately name a new project, so the Store Project Audio in its own Folder option has been removed because it is no longer necessary.

If you provide a project name, the Location and Audio Path fields will populate with recommended paths based on the project name. However, you can freely change the paths.

If no name is provided, audio data will be stored in the global audio folder by default. When you later save the project, you can specify a different audio folder in the Save As dialog box.
