¥ Select the Pro Audio program item or a Pro Audio document Þle
using the My Computer icon on the desktop, the Windows Explorer,
or the Find menu. All Pro Audio Þle types (.wrk, .bun, .tpl, .mid,
.mff) are registered with Windows. See your Windows
documentation or on-line help for more information.
Migrating Preferences
The Þrst time you run Pro Audio, it asks if you want it to search for an
older version of Pro Audio and transfer (or migrate) the preferences you
established in that version to Pro Audio. Pro Audio searches all hard
disks in your system for older versions, and if you have more than one
older version of Pro Audio installed, Pro Audio presents a list of them.
You may choose one from this list. The preferences and settings stored in
the older versionÕs cakewalk.ini and ttsseq.ini Þles are then transferred
to the identically named conÞguration Þles for Pro Audio. Pro Audio
migrates certain preferences to the Windows Registry rather than to the
cakewalk.ini Þle.
Running Wave Profiler
The Þrst time you start Pro Audio, it automatically runs the Wave
ProÞler utility. Wave ProÞler determines the proper MIDI and Audio
timings for your sound card and writes them to a Þle that Pro Audio
refers to when using the card. Wave ProÞler does not change the sound
cardÕs DMA, IRQ, or port address settings.
Wave ProÞler attempts to detect the make and model of your sound card,
which determine the cardÕs audio characteristics. When Wave ProÞler
determines the kind of card you have, it asks whether you want to use
the default settings for that card or override them. If Wave ProÞler has
identiÞed your sound card correctly, you may accept the default settings.
However, the utility is not infallible. If it does not identify your sound
card correctly, you must enter the correct settings yourself. To determine
those settings, you may need to consult your sound cardÕs manual and
consider using the tech support options discussed in Chapter 1,
Introduction.
Note:
You can run the Wave ProÞler again at a later time (for example, if
you install a new sound card or driver) by choosing the Options-
Audio General tab command and clicking Wave ProÞler.
