Hello. Im a total nubie to DAWs and Iv never joined a forum before.
I bought Sonar Artist a few months ago and I'm struggling. I'm a working musician who needs to create new and edit existing MIDI files. Also, I need to create audio tracks (Vocal harmonies) with my midi files and Edit existing MP3 tracks. Can anyone out there help me with my questions? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the quick reply. I gave up on Sonar 2 months ago out of frustration. Now that I've found this forum I will definitely have questions in the next few days. Thanks again :)

Try to work through the tutorials that came with Sonar. They are very helpful. You might also checkout Cake TV and Sonar University. They are on this site and have videos on how to do some things in Sonar.

Welcome BD.... as others are saying, you will find this forum quite helpful. Not too much BS here and if you have a specific question once you dive in, folks here are more than eager to help. We were all noobies once.
Whatever you do, don't give up and don't be afraid to ask questions here. There is no such thing as a bad question when it comes to SONAR. I think you will find that SONAR can do practically anything you need to do in your projects. With the exception of creating new music and mixing tracks by itself.

No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Please Don't. You will overload yourself in no time flat. If you look at the list that Brain posted you can see that you need to chunk it all down. I'm not very active on the forum but I peruse it most mornings with my coffee pot, today I make an exception and reply. - Get your setup happening, things like Audio interface, MIDI device setup,
- Then get a good understand of things like the “Browser” “Inspector” “Multidock”
If you have problems DO NOT keep watching the same video over and over, hop on the forum and ask questions (it's a great place to learn) Once you reach that point start having some fun! We don't know what your goals are for using Splat or what instruments you play but what ever your skillsets are... do it, record it, listen back and enjoy it. Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! I’ve been a user for 22 years. From when I first bought “Cakewalk Pro Audio 6” (anybody remember that? If you do your an old fart like me.) There are still areas of splat that I have little knowledge of, but that's ok! because the areas that I use almost on a day to day basis I'm proficient with. The most important lesson I have learned in the last 22 years is the best time to learn how to use/operate a particular section of Splat is when you need to use it the first time and not before. So to nutshell it… Think what you want Splat to do for you! Then go about learning those skills while having FUN! If your not sure what areas to concentrate on, then maybe these are the first questions you should ask on the forum. The support and knowledge of forum users is totally outstanding! I would hate to think you spent a lot of time and mental energy learning some section of Splat that you will never use and therefore get no benefit from.
I have empirical evidence this is true... (Bender told me!)

Yep, BENT's got it right. Break it up into small chunks that you can actually use first. Then add additional things.

Welcome to the forum! I owned a different products for 8 years before I ever came in here, so only a few months to pop in is a wiser choice.
Another endorsement for BENT's comments. Focus on the elements that are important to you first, and Karl's SWA Complete SONAR X2 (Brian Walton's post above) is a nice resource.
For what you mentioned in the OP, getting audio out, learning the GUI, and working with MIDI/Soft Synths may be a good focus. Piano Roll View (PRV) will probably become your default editing medium for MIDI, so the built-in Tutorials will also be an asset for you (doing tasks in a project you have not created from scratch). For MIDI, realize that a *.mid file is limited, so get into the habit of saving all projects as *.cwp's even if you "only want the MIDI." Down the road you will appreciate having all of the information you have worked on within SONAR. And since you are just starting, learn the habit of religiously naming tracks as you create them (for when you are searching files in years to come).
Many times you will run into a situation where you know exactly what you want to do, but not necessarily the names/functions of where to find them, etc. In those instances, do not waste undue time searching, but rather ask here. People here can save you a lot of searching by recommending a work flow or functions to focus on by name. Sometimes it is just that "specific name" that you are looking for so you can research more elsewhere.

I learned on Cakewalk Pro Audio back in the late 1990's (I was convinced this digital thing was a flash in the pan). I mean Tape lasted 50 years. Digital was supposed to take over Tape ? ... Lets move on. At first it can be very confusing, there are so many things to learn and all we really want to do is begin creating. My advise is to grab a pen and paper and watch some of the basic videos on simple recording / playback. the things you want to achieve. Take a few notes (don't write a book). But jot down the important things to remember. Sometimes by writing things down we remember more, its almost as if its burned in to our memory. As someone said above, don't try and fill a shot glass with a gallon of milk. Don't try and learn to much to fast. You tube has a wealth of free knowledge. Welcome to the crazy world of making music.

Thanks guys. I guess at this point learning what not to do is as important as learning what to do. NO BINGE WATCHING. Got it. Thanks again :)

Welcome BD. Another resource is the Reference Manual in PDF format written for all flavors of Sonar, which includes Artist. It is over 2500 pages and was updated in December. It is a wealth of info. It should be located in your install folder. Good luck.
Win 10 Pro x64, 32Gb DDR3 ram, Sonar Platinum, Cubase 9.5, Mackie MCU Pro, Cakewalk VS 100, Roland Octa-Capture, A 800 Pro, Carver M-1.5t amp & C4000 pre amp, various mics, drums and brass instruments. And away we go!

One of my early mistakes was using non-SONAR terms for things I was confused about.
Also, I thinks it's best to open a thread about one specific issue.

Make sure you spend time to put what you learn into practice so you start developing muscle memory for computer keyboard and mouse activity.
Start a project as soon as you can as it's the thing you want to do and it's where all your knowledge comes together. And above all enjoy what you do and realise that frustration is part of the process.
Whether it's a note or a lyric or a something to do with the computer or Sonar frustration can kill the joy until you realise it's part of the process. It gets your emotions and passions tiered up and that's a good place from which to get inspiration for your music. All the best
