Greetings all,
 
I once was an avid reader of SOS magazine because I enjoyed reading about the latest audio products, seeing how the Mix Rescue was done, and the best part of all, reading what was being highlighted in the latest version of Sonar. 
 
As Sonar entries became fewer and fewer I stopped subscribing to SOS magazine until one day I never renewed my subscription.  Well, my nephew who is interested in Audio recording "only in the box" saw my stacks of SOS magazine on the shelves in my studio and asked if he could have them for the techniques section.  I believe that boy will ready every magazine.   Anyway, after I gave him the magazines, I quickly remembered that I used to reference the issues I had for techniques in Sonar myself.  I now needed to find a way to have access to all of the Cakewalk Sonar articles that I used to read several times over and the Workshops in which I used to practice until I got it down right.
 
Well, I have found them all on line at SOS available to read in full, unless it in the most recent versions.  Workshops, techniques, Tutorials.  So, click the link below and happy reading.
 
All articles written within 4 to 5 months of the current date will not be able to be viewed fully.  These are available to everyone without needing a subscription.
 
SOS Cakewalk Sonar Tutorials, Techniques & Workshops
 
Have Fun
 
 

Nice Thanks for sharing.

I cancelled my subscription for the paper version of SOS but took a new one out for web access only, which suits me perfectly.
 
I ended up giving all of my old copies (going back to 1997) for a guy who wanted to set up a workshop for under privileged children as a library type resource.

Nice reference. Thanks!

I read every issue of SOS, and, as far as I can tell, the magazine reviews Sonar updates just like it reviews other DAWs; and there is a monthly tips column for each of the major DAWs, including Sonar.
 
I am not disagreeing with your point, but am curious what you are seeing that I am missing.  Sonar seems to be treated the same as Pro Tools, Logic,  and Cubase.  (Of course, if SOS interviews a producer, the magazine can't help which DAW the producer talks about.)

I think I've written over 150 SONAR columns for Sound on Sound, which means virtually every issue since I started writing it. The only exceptions were if they reviewed SONAR, the issue didn't include my column; and the column got "lost" for two issues when there was a switchover in the person doing the editing of the techniques columns. Other than that, I have a perfect attendance record 

Thanks for sharing and writing.

Thanks for the link......may come in handy!?

I used to quite enjoy SoS magazine (and Craig's column was very welcome, so the link above is great) but it got a bit tiring to see the way they'd always be positive in the gear reviews, only to basically admit in round-ups and special features later that most of the claims were false.
 
Example 1, portable vocal booths- the review of the Reflexion Filter said "the SE Reflexion Filter represents a serious step", the review of the Kaotica Eyeball said "the Eyeball actually works very well", but their feature How Effective Are Portable Vocal Booths? said that these devices create as many reflections as they prevent and tend to colour the sound as well.
 
Similarly, an article a few years back told readers that, providing you're skipping the cheapest and noisiest ones, or those which are deliberately strongly coloured, pre-amps have virtually no effect on what gets recorded or on what gets heard. In fact, "many of us in the SOS office felt unable to confidently tell the anonymised files apart in any repeated or reliable fashion". Contrast that with review after review of pre-amps using weasel words like 'warm', 'clean', 'open', '3D', or my favourite, 'musical'.
 
It's almost as if they're careful not to upset their advertisers - i.e., gear manufacturers - when it's known they'll be watching closely, e.g. at reviews of their products, but will give you the truth the rest of the time. Which means the reviews aren't worth much.

I really wish the OP in a thread could be marked "Helpful" ... 'cause this one is 
 
Thanks for taking the time and sharing
