I expect the tip of the day will enter blog-land in October, but had an idea: A thread called "What I Learned about Sonar today." This would be open to all, but of course I would contribute. I picture it as being more Twitter-like - for example:
 
If you disable recording controllers under MIDI preferences, V-Studio's faders won't alter the onscreen faders.
 
or...
 
When you're setting up a mix, it's really convenient to right-click on faders and set their default levels. That way you can mess around like crazy but always get back to a starting point...or change it if you like the new starting point better.
 
The object would be a lot of really short, helpful tips to help people get the most out of Sonar. If someone posted something that day, you could wait until tomorrow. Or hey, live dangerously and have multiple tips on the same day!
 
Whaddya think? If you like the concept, I'll talk to the Forum Overlords and see what they think.
 
 

I'm in Craig - Loved the 31 days in August thing! Keep 'em comin' Y'all !!!

I like it. Either you pick a subject or the first poster picks it then subsequent replies must adhere strictly to that subject and consist only of short tips.
What about Tipster of the week ? Start with Bob Bone, Beepster and BitFlipper (just off the top of my head). Give each guy a week to pick a tip of the day subject (and a tip of course). Voluntary participation naturally.

I was picturing something more Twitter-like...add your tip, then move on. Anyone who had a useful tip could participate. For example, this would be what I learned about Sonar today:
 
The Transient Shaper has significant look-ahead, so adding it to a track really increases latency. Save it for mixing, or render the track using the Transient Shaper.
 
But this idea doesn't seem to be getting much traction, so maybe an alternate structure would be the way to go.

We could call it the sonar power thread. 😄

Don't take me wrong , but there are so many things people don't know I'm not sure how helpful it would be. It could be a flood of detail....

If CW is considering a reorg of the forums it may be a better forum than just one thread.

YES... I was hoping for it. Maybe a thread with the "tip of the week" for a starter then a "tip of the week", from now on. I guess that is up to you though since it would add to your workload. I could certainly use it!

Excellent idea!

I think a daily episode of your X4 novelette would be entertaining.
