Scott, recieved your book here in the Netherlands via bol.com. Got Sonar 8 power previously, so I am familiar with your writing style. From my experience and the first look, this book will not only help me teach how to work with X2 but also will introduce some unthought possibilities of what I could do with this immense software package.
I will write a review in time on this Dutch webshop's site. Respect!
Hey Richard... thanks very much! I still find it amazing that my books are available all over the world. I had never heard of bol.com, but it looks like a nice site. In addition to that site, and only if you have time, could you also post your review up on Amazon and in the Cakewalk Store? Your music sounds interesting and SONAR definitely has the tools to make all kinds of electronic music. When you mentioned randomly generated sounds, I immediately thought of the automation feature in SONAR that allows you to change synth parameters over time in a project. One of the settings of the Draw tool is the Random setting, which can automatically generate random values for automation. It provides some very interesting possibilities. Thanks again!

YES
Hey Tim... that's great news and thanks very much! I'm glad the book made it safe and sound all the way to Germany. After you've had a chance to look through it, and only if you have time, could you post a review up on Amazon and in the Cakewalk Store? What kind of music are you making with SONAR? Just curious...

my amazon review
[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal"]i get the kindle version so i can enlarge the print so i can see it and chose the windows 7 version of the kindle reader for its kindle search capabilities ( win 8's don't work at his time, the search charm searches your library not the book you're reading!!) i really like being able to create bookmarks, notes and highlights which i can display like a table of contents makes finding things easy [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal"]especially Scott's insightful "i recommend" suggestions [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal"]i'll simply +1 the comments other reviewers on the excellent quality and relevance of the content [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal"]if it isn't already it should be required reading for cakewalk tech support folks it's that good [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal"]and because i have a tablet i can read in the bathroom!!

Scott,
A newbe here. Even though I've read all 1900 pages of the Sonar X2 User's Guide, I reviewed several pages of your new book and thought it was well written and picked up a few tid-bits even in the sample pages.
Just ordered from Amazon! Looking forward to reading it.

Hey Walt... good to meet you, and thanks very much for ordering the book! I hope you enjoy it. Yeah, it's definitely different than the manual. You can read it cover-to-cover and it will take you through SONAR's features step-by-step. And there are plenty of additional tips and techniques included throughout the book. After you've had a chance to look through it, and only if you have time, could you post a review up on Amazon and in the Cakewalk Store? Scott -- Scott R.

Yes, Scott, I will write a review of your book. I'm reading from cover to cover, at the moment. And so far it's been a very good read!
As far as what music I make: It's mostly hobby songwriting, for myself, and mixing friends recordings and just overall "tinkering". I've always wanted to have my own "studio" and Sonar is making it happen ;)
Thanks again for your book. I've been hanging out more and more at digifreq. There is tons of information there, too! Thank you for that, also!

Scott,
I inserted a link on my website to the Amazon site. Hope that helps and directs some traffic your way. You did an awesome job with this book my friend!
Hey Marcus... that's awesome, thanks very much! By the way, you can make a few extra bucks with that link, if you'd like. Amazon has an affiliate program. You can sign up and put links on your site to my book (or other Amazon products) and earn a commission when someone orders through your link. You can find more info about it at: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/
Thanks!
Scott

Thanks for the heads up Scott. I really don' t make any money off this site. It just contains the guitar lessons, music, and other projects. It is more or less a hobby site. I do get some traffic and people know I use Sonar. Some have purchased it off my recommendation. I think they should have your book too. It has been great so far. Still reading it.

Hey Marcus... no problem. I figure that if people are going to help me out, they might as well get something in return. I'll probably let everyone know about the Amazon program in an upcoming issue of DigiFreq. I'm sure there are plenty of SONAR users out there with their own websites. You've got some nice content up on yours! Thanks! Scott -- Scott R.

Thank you for the tip and comments. Wrote reviews on Cakewalk Store and Bol.com. As I am their costumer :) I am no longer afraid of the name Skylight, I just use it now :) Ciao

I'm totally new to DAW and home recording. The challenge and excitement for me is learning how to use it. I have to say, if I invested in X2 Producer for my hobby, then I should have well written reference material and I am very pleased by this book! Learning sound and mixing is one thing. Learning how to use SONAR for me was something different and now I have the bible for it. Great book Scott and I am happy for my first post on this forum to be a review for your book! :) I wrote a review on Cakewalk store and will do so on Amazon.
