    laptop vs desktop

    Hi - There may have been previous threads if you could point me to one: My computer is getting really slow. I currently use a laptop - quiet, no fans.

    ...so i can assign a new soft synth instrument to the clip? Thanks. update - that may not be the correct terminology. When I load a soft synth to play a midi clip in Sonar Producer, I am not able to try different sounds or instruments - it keeps reverting to the same one over & over. I hope...

    How important is it to use 2 hard drives? Or partition a hard drive? I'm a serious amateur, not a power user & so far it's all on one HD on my computer, along with everything else & works fine. I'm researching ahead for whenever I upgrade. Thanks.

    open older projects into template

    Hi - Just starting on Sonar. I have lots of old projects done in cakewalk. I can open them in Sonar but I want to open them/copy them somehow into my template to save having to reset all of the parameters every time I open an old project. Importing doesn't work. Is there a way to do this? Thanks
