Another vote for downloadable PDFs of the tips.
 PDFs are good cos they're keyword-searchable. I wish I had a PDF of the book, too, so I could have it on my laptop without having to haul the book around, but I understand about the piracy thing. You work hard on these, Scott, you deserve not to be ripped off.
BTW, Scott, you might be the guy to ask about this: for those who are running 64-bit but have occasion to install Sonar 8 32-bit as well to use some 32-bit plugins, any tips would be appreciated (my experience described here: see post 9 in this thread )

Thanks, Scott. That's the way I've got it now, dual-booting WinXP SP3 and Win7 64-bit. I won't be able to keep it that way indefinitely though, cos I have to move my WinXP to another computer by year's end. So I'm trying to plan ahead.
I have considered the idea of installing Sonar 7 PE in 32-bit; that way there would also be no confusion. I think they're similar enough that I'd be able to transfer projects between them when necessary...

if you use some newer features in a SONAR 8 project and open it in SONAR 7, you may lose some data

That's probably true, but the first probem I ran into when opening an S8 project in S7 was that the track heights all defaulted to minimized, which would make going back and forth pretty painful. S8 must store this info in a different place.

I haven't tried that, Susan. I suppose it would probably do the trick. I don't really care too much, as I don't plan to be using earlier versions, except maybe for trouble-shooting bugs. I just noticed it when I re-opened a project I use all the time as a kind of template for new projects or just for playing live.

Bump.

Bump.

he's probably too busy re-packing it up to send to the to me, since he's not finished that fishing book and well it's a big distraction..

good job he made an unpacking vid , so he knows how to repack it.

I think maybe he's taking time out to learn it I guess, and it'd have to feature in his next  book also?

Hi Scott, got your SP and it's a great goto reference. Thanks for the tips especially #9 it saves a lot of splitting and clicking on segments. Is there any way to make the markers move up to follow the deleted tracks so they match without having to manually move them?

It's a great book. Just seems like for repeat customers that you're buying the same book over and over again. I don't know. Why not change up the verbs or something?

there was a time where you were polite to Scott, funny how things change.. perhaps conduct yourself on the steinberg forum like you do here,  I know for a fact you'll get booted off there.

perhaps you should keep your snide remarks to yourself if you can't say anything nice or at least polite.

half the time I'm thinking you just buy sound on sound read a review and actually think you know what your talking about..lol.. second hand knowledge is a dangerous thing sometimes.

Hey Craig -- I've already got a couple V-Studio threads... one right here in the stickies section of the SONAR forum: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1794767 and another over at DigiFreq: http://www.digifreq.com/d...opic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3996

Hey Fog -- Yep... you're gonna have a great Christmas this year! But whatever you get will have to come from Santa Claus...

Nick -- If you don't like the books, don't buy them. That should solve your problem.

Hey Max -- Thanks! I appreciate it. Do you mean tip 8? The one about deleting measures? Yeah, if you put a checkmark next to the Markers option in the Delete dialog box, that will delete any markers in the selected region and it will also move up the remaining markers.

Hey Ron -- No problem. I'm glad you enjoyed the tips!

Hey Tom -- Thanks very much! I hope you enjoy the book.

Best,
Scott
