Dan, thanks for these. I just started working with X3P this morning and the links I have hit were quite helpful.

Hi Dan, Thank you for all these things. Sure it would help a lot of people out there, including me. Anyway just a suggestion, why not you also feature things like how to create for example rising synth effect, enveloping effects, stuttering effects, humping effects and many other kind of effects that sonar x3 producer are capable of. I know x3 is capable of that though its to my regret, browsing the net, it seems to me only those who are using FL, Cubase and other daws are pious enough showing their users how to use their daws in creating such effects.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely work in some more complex synth design articles. If you dudes have any suggestions or requests feel free to list them here. I am constantly coming up with ideas, but feedback from the forum is highly useful. Thanks again, you guys rock. -DG

Thanks Dan! Its really reassuring for us should I say "not that much well versed as far as sonar" that bakers are in tune to our needs. I guess even the experts would also greatly benefit with this knowing how others "do it" in a different vantage. Anyway for starters, Id really appreciate it if you could also discuss how to create the following in sonar producer
1. Rising synth effects
2. Enveloping Effects
3. Stuttering effects ( I know there are apps for this and there are also gadgets like traktor, machine etc that can do this but having to know that we can do this using sonar x3 producer alone would be a great help as we don't have to spend more money just to have this.
4. The Psy (Gangdam style effects). There is a guy in youtube who is showing how to do it in pro tools (the 0:57-0:58 seconds; 1:48-1:49). I believe Sonar X3 can do this far more better
5. Dubstep
May I also take this opportunity to suggest, why not lets create a special forum or folder wherein anybody, especially the pro, could list down in clear fashion how they create an FX or styles etc in sonar. I think this would be a great avenue to advance not only the noobs but even the pro. Aside from that, this can also attract others to buy sonar as members are sharing how they do stuffs for the advancements of music and of the software as well. I mean in magic, there is a saying that the only way to advance magic is to expose the trick once it is already shown so as magicians will be required to think new stuffs. Otherwise we would all be stuck watching the same trick over and over again. Life then would be really boring

Hi Dan, Thanks for making these great tips. I posed a suggestion for a blog posting in the sticky thread about Drum Month, but since you asked to post ideas here I will repeat it. I am still working out the right workflow to use take lanes with drum tracking and editing. I'd love to see some of your ideas on how to do this as part of Drum Month. Just walking through an effective work flow with a typical drum session would be great. For example: 1) tracking multiple takes, 2) comping, 3) editing (e.g., moving notes around within take lanes to fix timing issues, and copying and pasting from/to different sections), 4) comping using edited takes, 5) using slip edits and cross fades within takes. Ideally this would also include a video of your screen. Thanks! Dave

How about a step-by-step (or at least concept-by-concept) of how to create drum parts using either Session Drummer or Addictive Drums. Or both. I've only ever used EZ Drummer and the procedure I came up with on my own may be coming at things from the wrong direction. I'm curious to know how other people do it. Dan Gonzalez [Cakewalk]
Thanks again, you guys rock.
Yup. That's what we're here for.

I am a user of existing addictive drums.
I upgraded it with sonarX3P and obtained a new license.
I obtained the next answer when I referred to XLNaudio for two licenses.
Thanks you for getting in touch. In answer to your question. All previous owners of Addictive Drums that purchase Sonar X3 which comes with a free copy of Addictive Drums are allowed to exchange the licence that came with Sonar X3 for either
a) Two ADpaks (any except Retro ADpak)
b) Retro ADpak
c) Addictive Keys Studio Collection
So please inform any one you know that already owns Addictive Drums and has bought Sonar X3 that they can also get in touch with me and take advantage of this offer.

Quick feedback on the 14 Tips for Guitarists Before Entering The Studio (#6), as far as pickup height. I have always held the "pretty evenly spaced" to the strings to be true, but found something rather shocking that only digital leveling meters would see in detail. It showed up playing amp sims and I posted the whole issue here. I use DiMarzio D Activators, and was getting wild clipping on the low E string using an amp sim, and the reason was that these particular pickups are hot, and the "power" of the low E was over 12dB higher when the pickups were spaced to the strings evenly. I had to back the low end off 3/16" to get input level even between the low E and high E, but brought them back up to 3dB hotter (which is what I was seeing on two other guitars with stock pickups). FWIW, checking the signal level against an input meter for string output may be a better check, depending on configuration.

About #14 (14 Tips for Guitarists): Isn't graphite (pencil lead) a lubricant? I've used it in other situations and it always acts that way. I'm not disagreeing with tip #14, but I think the reason why it works isn't because it causes friction, but because it keeps friction from allowing the string to stick.
Nit-picky, but...

Hallo I would be really grateful if you can answer me....Well, I saw from a trance producers duo named ''the Blizzard'' about cakewalk sonar and I really liked their sound so I want to use this programme....I've seen that this programme is capable of many things and also I like A LOT its interface and general design....I am a user of FL studio 11 for the moment.....but if you already know I cannot do mashups for electronic dance music....and I know that ableton live is capable of giving you the right tools to make a mashup....for example teasing the tempo of the two (or more) songs I want to make the mashup...I can do it with fl but only if the tracks about to make the mashup are on the same tempo......so can you tell me if I can achieve something like that with cakewalk sonar X3, making a mashup of songs that are not in the same tempo??
-also can I make mastering for songs using cakewalk sonar X3?
I really thank you very very much, your reply will be more than helpful!

Dan, any way to get dates for the tips? You post new tips are posted, but without a date, no way to tell which ones are new.

i'm having trouble understanding the charts in GUITAR TIPS – ADVANCED THEORIES BEHIND CHORD STRUCTURES it does say advanced so it's probably me " Each column represents a fret on the fretboard and each row represents a string. “R” refers to the root note and the rest of the guitar neck is relative to that initial fretting of “R”. So, if you pick any note on your guitar neck on the 6th string then this is where the rest of the intervals on the guitar neck lie." in the examples given i can't picture the notes depicted on the actual fretboard on the charts if pick g 5d fret 6th string i can't seem to use the chart to find the right intervals Each column represents a fret ????? a fret in relation to what looks like the chart is to span 7 frets??
