Do they still have the 30 day pass available to watch any on-line training video?

Well, I caved and ordered the X1 upgrade this morning.  As  a free bonus, I got a couple of DSF expansion packs (forgot which ones)  -- and the Groove 3 video tutorial.  What a nice surprise!  I've watched a couple of chapters, and so far I'm impressed - will have to check out some of their other vids.

Also, in keeping with tradition, I added Scott's X1 Power, so Fed Ex will be bringing it along with the boxed X1 media sometime next week.   With the other Power! books, I usually concentrated on the "What's New" section and skimmed the rest.  This one... well,  feels like I'm starting a new novel.  Can't wait!  

(BTW, today, 3/31 was the last day to get the freebies with X1.  I didn't even know about the promotion - just lucky I guess).

Yes these vids are great. I recently got one on song writing theory. Really nice work by the same guy that did the X1 vids. I wish I had noticed the special in the Musictech mag before it expired. I heard the one on Ozone is also rated highly (I want to check that out next).

I'm glad I saw this post, again, I forgot all about the fact that I was going to watch the X1 video.  hopefully that will solve "some" of my frustration.

Although certainly not all of it (see automation problems, not having separate snap settings etc).

Anyway, thanks for the reminder, and yes the Ozone video is cool.

The Kontact video was also good.

Thanks, Jon! I hope you enjoy the book. Yes, I definitely recommend that everyone read it cover-to-cover at least once. After that, you can use it as a reference, but it's really designed to be read like a regular book and you'll definitely get the most out of it that way.

Thanks!
Scott

Hey John,

No, I never got around to doing anything for 8.5. But if I find that enough people are sticking with that version, I may consider doing a video series for it. Not sure though... I'll be keeping the following website updated in regards to video tutorials
 
DigiFreq will also be hosting some free video tutorials from me soon as well... the best way to keep informed is to sign up for the free newsletter...

Thanks!

Doesn't the accompanying video with the promotion only provide the first two chapters? Or is everyone getting the full video for free?

The promo gives you the first two chapters which are awesome. They make X1 seem so simple. The guy has a great voice. I just tried it since Wednesday and definitely will subscribe.

I've also tried videos from ASK on Cubase and ProTools. They were very good and helped me understand products that were totally new to me.

I'd say the Groove 3 videos are the best I've seen.

I own almost all of the Sonar vids. The older ones are hopeless. The Hal Leonard series is a rip off - the guy is floundering all over the screens, the video looks godawful on your PC and they go nowhere.

I'm going to order Scott's book but don't expect much from it. It's more of a reference manual than a tutorial.

You can't read Sonar Power cover to cover and learn the product. The material is too complex and dry.

I've tried, Lord knows, to learn from them in a systematic way but it's too frustrating to read the book, try to find the stuff he talks about on the computer, try it out, go back to the book. The monochromatic illustrations aren't very helpful.  Scott uses a lot of terms under the assumption you have memorized what he wrote before, which is a bad assumption.

Sonar Power books do provide good reference material, although more illustrations of how features work and the various options/outcomes would make them better.

A better use of Scott's talents would be to contract with Cakewalk to produce an online reference that is linked to the screens with the F1 key. People want to understand software in context.

Before some one accuses me of being stupid, I have a very high IQ, read constantly and write for a vocation. My first writing was paid journalism when I was 14 years old. My current writing project - NJN Network - gets 2 million hits a month with mainly original content. I also owned a computer training school for 5 years and know a fair amount about adult learning.

I'm not bragging but if you touch a sacred cow on this forum some people like to jump in with the ad hominem comments.

I have come to the conclusion that books are not modern learning tools. People are used to video and computer learning.

I have most of the Photoshop/Premier books but really learned the products from Lynda's video series. Nothing beats a human showing you how to do something.

That's why piano is still taught from one person to another. The nice thing about video learning is you can do it at anytime and at your own pace.
