Thanks for posting this, Dan.
Started watching it. Look forward to seeing your process.
All the best.

I had been begging for years for Cake to do an instructional series, from tracking to mastering.  They produced a lot of good stuff, but not organized from A-Z.  Get newbies started, and then they can use the manual to flesh out their knowledge.
 
Great that users are filling the void.  And yea, Cakewalk by BandLab has a couple? of the old coders bug-fixing and looking into new functions.  There is no reason not to update to CbB, esp. since it doesn't replace your paid version of SONAR but will pick up any VST(s)s from it.  You can still use the old one, too!

SONAR -> Cakewalk by Bandlab will be the easiest transition you've ever made. Basically just have to tweak a few settings (e.g. pathnames) to match what you'd previously configured in SONAR and you can carry on working on the same projects you had going under SONAR. You can even switch back and forth between the two DAWs if you like. Like Daibhidh notes above, leave the SPlat installation in place so you keep all the plugins that aren't included in CbB.
 
Great job on the videos! Nothing makes me turn off a tutorial faster than hearing crummy audio in the intro, and you've got really good sound quality happening. Loudness is just right for YouTube, a surprisingly rare thing even among audio-related videos.
 
I hope you start every episode with "HOWDY!". It just sounds cool when a Brit says it.

Great video's and content, thanks for uploading.

The is an incredible effort! And I thank you!
I have a Scotch collection, so let me know if you are ever in my part of the world. :)

So, can you please tell me how you are recording your screen? Are you using a Camera pointing to the screen or some kind of Software?

Thanks brother.

I'm using the free OBS software for screen capture.

Thanks for the lovely comments. And yes, I will continue to use the quaint old English greeting "Howdy". 
 
As far as the lack of online videos for Cakewalk SONAR, whether mixing or producing. I agree. Always been a bit of a wilderness compared to other DAWs. Back at the start of the year when I thought switching to another DAW would be the only option going forward and chosing Studio One, I was amazed to discover just how much great quality YouTube content there is for that DAW. 
Now I'm not going to be a prolific YouTuber as my time is spent producing and mixing for people, but I am half way through making another short series this time on producing a song from start to finish, so look out for that in the near future when I get time to finish it. 

Watching the first video, I never thought to edit the toms to get rid of the snare, etc.
 
I am a reborn newb - thanks for this. I mean it.

Really enjoyed what I've watched so far, and learning a lot.  Thanks for this!
