Will SONAR X2 Power! help me?

X2 Power is about Sonar X2. That covers a lot of ground. It will have information on recording but from a Sonar perspective. 

If you are interested in learning X2 better it will serve you well. 

Just buy it.

It's well worth the asking price and you will learn much more from this than the manual - trust me

It will cover topics you're not interested in, but also goes into great depth on Midi, soft synths, automation, drum programming etc - topics that should meet all of your needs.

Thanks John, Bruce, and Colin! I appreciate the recommendations.

Scott

Daylaa
am i correct in believing the book is not yet available in the uk?? or have i been looking in the wrong places? amazon, for example.  

Hey David... yes, you're correct. It usually takes an additional month to get the book out overseas. So it should be arriving in the next few weeks.


Thanks!

I may be the only person left on earth who used to read the manual cover to cover, and the Cakewalk manuals were among the few that were worth reading. The thing is, I would typically read them when I was stuck somewhere, and not at my computer trying to get something done, and I do not own an e-reader (too small, content way too expensive considering the cost of publication, and too intrusive, sending back to third parties not only what I am reading but which page and for how long) so that stopped when the manual became pdf only. That is still a major advance over Microsoft, which stopped even making pdf manuals for their software when they found out how to screw their customers with Microsoft Press.

There  may not be anything in Scott's book that is not covered in the manual, and not all of it is necessarily all that much simpler to understand than the manual if you are a technically sophisticated reader, but it is portable and on paper. And some of it does explicate some arcane points better than the excellent pdf manual that comes with Sonar. If your kindle is on the blink, or if the pdf manual leaves you cold, or seems to be written in a foreign language, you can certainly benefit from the book.
