A thanks to Craig Anderton....

I know it is sort of your job but IMO, you are really doing it well with the FX chains and other stuff.. and all the tips and always an answer. You are really helpful and are adding a lot of cool stuff to Sonar. Henry should give you a raise!
Thanks!

Mr Anderton certainly is a major 'bonus' for Sonar users, his help and tips, insight and seemingly endless enthusiasm is quite something, in a role which at times sadly, seems a little thankless. The sign of a person who truly loves and believes in what he is doing, with goals and aspirations which may not be readily apparent to the masses.

I've got to agree with sentiment of the OP. I've just been auditioning the FX chains with a newly acquired Gibson SG and there are many real gems.
 
Nice one Craig :-)

I had no idea who Mr. Anderton was before I became a Sonar user (my X1 purchase came with a copy of the Advanced Workshop vids which I still learn from). Have learned many many things from his presence here.
 
I used to be a fan of music, artists and bands. Now I'm a fan of doods who talk about how to make music. Kind of a weird shift but it works.
 
So yeah... thanks, Craig. Keep bein' awesome.

+1. Alway there to help. We're lucky to have "the inside scoop" when it come to working issues out. Thx

I've been a big fan since Electronic Projects for Musicians. Getting a reply from Craig on this forum is always a big thrill!  I've made many a stomp box myself based on his column in Guitar Player!  It's a real blessing to have his input in this forum and to have his FX chains in Sonar.

I too made some of the many projects Craig wrote about in Electronic Musician mag back in the early 90s.  I looked forward each issue to seeing what cool gadget he had designed.  Up until just a couple of years ago...I had two large cardboard boxes FULL of Electronic Musician and Mix magazines.  I finally decided they were taking up too much room and tossed them out.  It was bittersweet for sure :) .

+ a few more....   I've never done one of Craig's DYI projects but have been reading his articles for decades.   Still am, in fact, in his monthly Pro Audio Review column.  

He's a jolly nice chap
 
And he's covered a few of my songs. How 'bout dat!

+1 for all of the above.  Thanks Craig.

C'mon Craig.. We all know you're being bashful.. Come on in and feel the love!
 
Quick story. I just brought my Stratocaster to get set up by Jim Mouradian Guitar over in Winchester MA and he was asking me all sorts of questions about three little switches I had added.  These were in fact rewire modifications I had performed based on articles Craig had written in Guitar Player back in the 70s. Series / parallel and phase / out of phase. I also added a passive midrange control from his Electronic Projects for Musicians.  Thanks Craig for years of hands on knowledge you gave me over the decades!

Indeed.
Today was my only day off this week, and I spent most of it with my trusty Ibanez Deluxe 59er and the new presets.
It's been a very enjoyable day.
Thanks Craig.

Who's Craig Anderton?
JK...I can't imagine how Craig has the time to do all the things he does!

Hey, thanks for the props. Don't know what else to say except to re-iterate I get as much out of this forum as it gets out of me. 
 
I'm hoping Cakewalk becomes a big company with lots of excess cash so we can fly the forum members in for a big party
