I was looking at my stack of Sonar Power books this weekend. It extends from Sonar 4 up to X2. I'd love to see a new one. Maybe it would be based on every year now that the classic cycle is broken. Amazon Kindle has a great service where you can get books in either ebook or physical copies, and it isn't that expensive. I've been turned down three times trying to get my manuals printed because the shops were freaking out about copyright. I love books and have quite a large collection. I'd pay for a new copy of Sonar Power : Platinum 2016.

well, that first short I read about elric and his sword, sonarthinger got me hooked

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind. Thanks so much for all the support as well. I still have all my copies too.

Although I like the monthly updates, the biggest drawback for me has been the lack of a new Sonar Power book. Scott's descriptions and explanations tend to be clearer and more helpful than the manual or help files. The books have always been the first place I check when I need to understand learn how to use a particular feature. Also, there's just no substitute for a hard copy book, for me at least.
 
I wonder if it would be possible to come out with something like Sonar Power 2016, as suggested by Resonant Serpent, followed each year with an addendum that covers only the features added during the subsequent year.

Thanks, Tim! It's nice to be missed.

My 2 Cents:  I've used Cakewalk/Sonar from Windows 3.5 days up through Platinum, but I have never learned or used all of its features.  As I use Platinum more and more, I find its time to start trying out the stuff I never used before.  My first reference is Scott's "X3 Power" book on Kindle.  It covers most of the basic stuff that (for now at least) is still the meat and potatoes of Platinum.  And it's easy, searchable and always at hand.
 
+2 for Scott's books and +3 for anything he publishes to update info on the newest Platinum features.  Its worth the money to me.

Picking up where SONAR X3 Power left off, I may do a series of updates in the form of eBooks that cover new features.
 
Keep an eye on my site for future info... http://www.garrigus.com/
 
Thanks for asking!

Hi Scott,   any hint on when roughly we might expect it, summer?, winter ? or next month perhaps?

I'm not certain yet, but it will be sooner rather than later.
 
Also, in the meantime, I'll be posting some new videos to my YouTube channel so be sure to subscribe (free) to that...

Hi Scott,
 
I just want to say that I am a big fan of your Cakewalk/Sonar power series of books. I still suck at recording, but I generally suck less and in more creative ways had you not had such a positive influence on my musical endeavors! :) (That is fully meant as a compliment!). 
 
Seriously, thank you for taking the time to make Sonar (and CW before it) easier to figure out, especially in a time before Youtube. I always looked forward to getting the next one and reading it, then referencing back when needed. 
 
Best Regards!
