Production kit location on hard disc / Where is vstsound://?

Cubase
1

  1. I think with Cubase 8 or 8.5 there came something like a production kit with a lot of drum, guitar, bass, synth, etc. loops and complete Cubase sample projects. I can’t find this data on my mac computer any more. I ran the default installation on my one and only hard drive. Where would this production kit normally be located?

  2. Quite a number of resources in the MediaBay is located in vstsound://… To which folder on my hard disc does this address point? Again I have done a default installation on the main hard drive.

Thanks for any advice!

such a basic questions

Hm, still couldn’t locate the “production kit” project files (*.cpr)…
Also I am not sure about the real name of the same, so can’t find something with Google.

production kit

are u talking about this?

It’s templates. They are in Cubase folder.

Thanks so much, but not these ones.

The library might be called “Construction Kit” and sample project names may be:

No Words 100 BPM F
Made in Detroit 100 BPM A
29 Min Jupiter 165 BPM Eb

I am afraid I deleted the whole “Construction Kit” folder unintentionally. Maybe I should reinstall Cubase 8.5, but I am not sure, whether this could have any side effects.

It will not have any and will not make Cubase unstable. A bit less track presets options. That’s all.

7

As next step I’m going to reinstall C 8.0, which brought the respective toolkit project files.

Even after reinstallation of C 8.0 I am not able to find the Allen Morgan Pop-Rock Toolbox *.cpr files on my hard drive.

Where did you get those names?
Morgan Pop-Rock Toolbox *.cpr
No Words 100 BPM F
Made in Detroit 100 BPM A
29 Min Jupiter 165 BPM Eb

I have retail Cubase and I don’t have anything like this. Is this some third party framework-projects?

→ Allen Morgan Pop-Rock Toolbox


→ List of the 30 construction kits

Actually I still have the mentioned names in my “Recent Projects” list, but can’t open them any more, since the files got deleted.

My goodness, this was as hard as simple:

I do have all these projects in my MediaBay, but when I open one of them, I get a message like “The project directory is read only! Please make a new selection!”

When I click OK I can save a copy of the project on my hard disc and start working with the project.

I didn’t get the meaning of this dialog.

Problem solved. Thanks to both of you helping me making up my mind!
