i am still trying to get a manual for ewql silver, meanwhile , once i have recorded 8 midi tracks of strings , woodwinds, percussion, etc. how can i add additional midi tracks with more instrumentation on them, do i have to bounce the midi tracks to audio and then start again with 8 new midi tracks with different instruments to continue the process. thanks for any help rickjr

Hi,Silver should have come with a printed manual when you purchased it, that's strange that it didn't have one. As a registered owner, you may be able to request one from soundsonline.com In any case, you should be able to open up more than one instance of the Kompakt plug-in and add more instruments to it. I don't know the limitation of Sonar but I would imagine you could have as many instances open as your computer CPU/RAM can handle. At that point you wold need to bounce.Good luck,Mazz

So you get eight instruments per instance of Silver. The only limitation will be CPU power and/or RAM, but then you can start bouncing if necessary.

Here is the Manual ! They are not printing any more or shipping any more with the bundle versions per Doug at the Soundsonline forum.http://www.soundsonline.com/static/d..._XP_Manual.pdfI still am waiting for them to help me get Logic to see my Audio Unit Component - If anyone has any advice (rtas and protools?) please let me know - I'm able to use the standalone product just fine, but not get it to be recognized in Logic. I'm whining. Any tech support would be welcome!

Hey Rick, after opening up a few instances of Silver, you can then freeze them to free up CPU resources. The sonar manual should elaborate, also the Sonar Power books should help if you have them.Charlie
