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.
