Anyone planning to buy this book in the UK might be interested that it is currently being listed for at least £7 less than Amazon (including postage) from Wordery.com and Bookdepository.com (I am not allowed to post the direct links, yet.)
 
The Bookdepository option may also be of interest to purchasers in other countries (outside the US) because it offers free delivery to anywhere in the world.

Hi Anthony,
 
Excellent... thanks for letting me know about these. I'll look into adding them to the SONAR X3 Power page on my site http://www.garrigus.com/
 
Thanks!
Scott

Morning all,
 
I may have missed the initial wave of excited posts with this but I just wanted to add my 2 cents...
Amazon shipped my Power X3 book yesterday to me in the UK and I was impressed on a couple of levels before I even started -
 
My last purchase of Scott's was Cakewalk Power way back when (yes, I know I don't look old enough) which I found helpful but not mindblowing. In those days, Cakewalk would ship a pretty extensive user manual with their product so I had 2 pretty good resources to work with.
 
My new X3 purchase, of course, shipped with a flimsy start-up guide and access to a pdf of what is, I believe, the largest user guide in the known universe. The list of contents alone when laid end to end bridges 2 world time zones. Sadly, I'm a book-person who likes to hold what he's reading and, because I don't believe that enough paper exists in the western world to print a pdf of such sheer girth, I ordered Scott's book.
 
It's HUGE - big pages with modestly small writing (nice quality paper, a neat typeface and that embarrassingly addictive smell of a new book). Scott has put a LOT of work into this. It usually takes a lot to impress an old cynic like me but Power X3 knocked me sideways with content and presentation.
 
I started reading it in bed last night and had to stop on about page 5 as there were already some tips about organising plug-ins that I just have to try tonight in front of my PC. God only knows what other new stuff I'm going to find on the next 400 pages.
 
Great work Mr G!
 
Frink.

Scott,  bravo on Sonar X3 Power.  The amount of information that you have put into the book and still losing pages on the page count is very impressive.  I have both X1 and X2 Power books on my shelf, and will gladly make room for X3 Power.  As good as the earlier books are, X3 reads better IMHO.  I have not figured out why yet, but will spend the time as to how and why. 
 
Plus, covering all the updates thru X3e is a bonus to all that buy the book.  Great job.  You should be proud.

Usual story. No UK kindle version .



Hi Alex... Kindle version doesn't come out at the same time as the print edition. You'll notice that Kindle isn't available in the USA yet either. I think it requires a bit of formatting work that differs from print, so the publisher should be working on that now.
 
Thanks!
Scott

Hi Frink,
 
Thanks very much! It's always great to hear when people are enjoying the work that I do and I like to surprise people as well. I'm glad to hear you were pleasantly surprised with this edition.
 
If you have time, could you post a review up on Amazon?
 
Scott

Thanks very much, Clint! The publisher adjusted the layout and size so that they wouldn't have to print as many pages. But that didn't reduce the amount of info included... I made sure of that. The only thing I took out were old features no longer included in SONAR.
 
Not sure why this one reads easier... maybe I'm getting better with age.
 
If you have time, can you post a review up on Amazon?

Hi Alex... yep, I know. I keep hounding them about that. They're still negotiating with Amazon, but it looks like it might actually be Amazon's fault. They seem to be becoming difficult with publishers as shown in this article. This is about a different publisher, but still...

In the meantime, the ebook is available in a different format outside the US from ebooks.com.
 
Thanks!
