EQ techniques are the type of thing that are easily transferable to other EQ's. Thing is most raw production technique vids that are any good are generally done with programs other than Sonar so it's important to get used to understanding the broadstrokes of how effects like EQ, compression, etc work in general then applying them to the tools we have in Sonar.
 
There is a great vid on Groove3 called "EQ's Explained" (or something like that) that REALLY nailed down how EQ's work, the various types of EQ's (functionality... not specific plugin brands), all the terminology associated with EQs, etc.
 
None of the EQ's he used were Cakewalk ones (IIRC) but they were all similar to the models we have. The info is universal.
 
Groove3 is of course a pay site but sometimes they allow certain vids to be viewed for free. It might be one of them. A month's membership to G3 was super useful to me though (we got a month free a couple years back through the Content Club) and I think it's only $15 or so for a month of unlimited viewing.
 
You seem like you'd really get a lot of use out of it. There are a bunch of Sonar vids on there too but the general production vids were the most useful to me.
 
Cheers.

Cool dude. Then you've seen the EQ Explained vid I'm talking about? If not... seriously check it out. It blasted open the doors for me. Same with some of the other "Explained" vids.
 
Ya noes I wouldn't steer you wrong.
 
Cheers.

Well that's intuitive!
 
My bad...... I apologize for the confusion.

yup that's the way I'm headed. I will take time this weekend to do some learnin'.
