Wow, Sonar certainly looks different...so I needed "THE" book. Amazon says Sonar X3 Power should arrive in 2 days. Can't wait to get back in the Cakewalk groove. It's been awhile. Glad the author hangs out here. :)

Hey Glenn... Welcome back to Windows and SONAR. Definitely lots of changes, but you'll get used to them. It'll be a fun experience and I hope you enjoy "THE" book while working with SONAR. Also, (if you have time), could you post a review up on Amazon after you've had a chance to look at the book?
 
Thanks very much!
Scott

Scott, will do! Thanks for the response!

Mine just came in the mail this afternoon.  I have a feeling there are much more efficient ways of doing things, as well as plenty of things you can do that I wasn't even aware of. 
 
Yes, there's a manual, I know...but at 2000ish pages, and only an electronic version (which I just can't get into).  I need something I can hang on to, physically.
 
Hopefully this will give me the information to improve my understanding as well as my overall technique.
 
See ya...gotta start reading.  ;-)
 
 
 

For the record, I've just posted a review on Amazon.co.uk for Scott's X3 Power book.
 
I gave it 2 stars only, I'm afraid.
I'm kidding, of course: I scored it 5.  ; )
 
For some reason, Amazon has posted my review using my weird-invented-cyberspace-name 'Steve Murray' instead of my real name, but hey-ho.
I even managed to put in a sneaky plug for this Cakewalk User Forum in there too.
 
Peace and Love (as Ringo is rather fond of saying),
 
Frink.

Thanks very much, Sean! I hope you enjoy the book. If you have time, after you've done some reading, could you post a review up on Amazon?

LOL! Thanks for that excellent review, Frink! I really appreciate it. I think you can customize your Amazon display name, but I'm not sure about that.

After giving up on ever getting X1 Power on Kindle in the UK  (I haven't checked recently) I decided to go for X3 Power with iBooks.  (I now use X3 so it made sense).
 
£21.99 in the iBook store and an instant download.  Marvellous.
 
Better still,  when I opened it on my iPad it shows it's over 1000 pages!!!   More than twice the size of the printed version, and if turn my iPad to landscape it goes up to over 1700 pages!!  GREAT   Over 3 times the pages of the printed version for the same price
 
Can't get better than that

Well, I broke down and ordered X3 Power even though I haven't installed X3 yet.  Figured I might as well be ready when I do.  This will make 6 Power books now.  I swear it's just because I'm a slow learner, (although I think Scott is shopping for islands....LOL).

Thanks very much, Karyn! I hope you enjoy the book. Yeah, I apologize again for the Kindle problem. The publisher is still trying to work things out with Amazon. But as you found, the book is available in different ebook formats worldwide.
 
I have no idea what the page number in ebooks is different, but they're all like that for some reason. There's definitely the same amount of material in both the print and ebook editions.
 
Thanks again, and if you have a chance after you've looked at the book, could you post a review up on Amazon?

Ha! I wish! Thanks very much, Paul! I really appreciate all the support. I hope you enjoy this edition as much as the past ones. Why haven't you installed X3 yet? Just curious...
 
And after you get around to looking at the book (and only if you have time), could you post a review up on Amazon?

Hi Scott.  A combination of things.  I'm really wanting to finish a few projects first.  When I get X3 installed I want to spend the time to really get familiar with all the new "X" series features and function.  I want get things set up properly with X3 as well and that's going to take some time, (screen sets, templates, colors etc.).  With X1 & X2 I just migrated things over and made do.  This time will be different....
 
I'll try and remember to post a review.
