Classes???

I have had Music Creator for about six weeks. It's a great program, but I admit, I can do very little with it thus far. The tutorials are somewhat helpful, but because I am not a recording engineer, half of what they talk about just goes over my head. Are there classes anywhere for this program? I live in San Diego. Anything in So. Cal.

I have recieved e-mails for some of Cakewalks more advanced ad-on's, but they don't do me much good at this point. Kind of feel as if I need a sound engineering background to figure out all but the most basic functions. Not complaining, just need some education... Cakewalk 101 Classes with a live person.... maybe? Anyone have any info. Thanks !!!

Cakewalk has traveling seminars, I think, and most large music stores (Guitar Center, Sam Ash) sometimes have classes on home recording, but those are more generic. I started with a book called "MIDI For Musicians" by Craig Anderton written in 1986! Then combed the music store book shelves and found a few others that came with CD ROMs that were helpful, also. Check out the local store for more holdable material. It helped that my brother is a programmer and could help me with the computer stuff. Greg

Robo has a very good set of help files just for the noobies, they get bumped up in this forum every once in a while, they might help. That recording for dummies book was very helpfull, and I bought a used "Sonar Power" book for about four dollars that was very helpfull, music creator is just a watered down sonar, just did a search for sonar and used in the same box and had plenty to pick from. And then there is the answer man himself, ask Robo anything, if he don't know the answer, there ain't one.

The Desktop Music Handbook (and others like it on our Support Pages) is also a good place to start.
