I have a school project where i'm gonna write songs and record them on sonar professional over the next few months. I need a mentor to teach me how sonar works. If you are interested, i will need your real name. Three of our conversations will be printed out so I can prove that I actually have a mentor. Reply soon if you're interested. Thanks in advance!

What's the back-end?

Ed's just the guy. But he'll want a percentage. Just half of your "A" should do it. Offer him a "C" and a stick-on gold star.

Seriously, though, what's your objective? Do you want to learn SONAR well enough to create a project, or just want to know how records are made with a computer? 
 

I was actually thinking Dave (bitflipper) would be an excellent mentor.
 
I'll just tell you to turn up the bass.

See what I mean?

You can also use "Flat Reading Mode" in the upper right of the forum page to print out forum threads, so can easily take advantage of multiple people contributing. You could fly that one by your instructor as well, or give him or her a guilt trip... "Am I limited to only one mentor? What if I choose the wrong one??? "
 
It would definitely help to know the scope of your project. If you can and decide to use the forum, a nice descriptive post title with a detailed question in the body will get a lot of feedback for you (and easily printed or even linked).

My objective is really to know how to use SONAR well enough to make songs for my project. I'll handle the writing process by myself, but i need someone to teach me how SONAR works.

You need to decide very quickly whether you want to work with Audio, Midi or both.

I definitely want to use Midi (I have a keyboard for that), but I don't know if I'm also going to sing and record that. I think I might use both.
