SONAR books?

Hello -
I'm trying to find a book to help me learn how to use SONAR Artist. I had a book by Scott Garrigus for SONAR 6 and notice he has another book for SONAR X3. Is SONAR X3 the same OS as SONAR Artist? If not, can anyone recommend a good book for SONAR Artist? Thanks!
 
 

Hi J... SONAR X3 Power doesn't cover the new features added to the current version of SONAR, but much of the information can still be helpful because many features are still the same. You can find a link to the book at my site: http://www.garrigus.com/
 
Also, I'll be publishing some SONAR tutorials on my YouTube channels shortly...

Thanks Scott - I'll pick up your X3 book. 
Btw - I grew up using using analog gear (Tascam 4-track etc). About 5 years ago I decided to make the jump to a digital DAW but feared it was all a bit beyond me. Then my wife had the good sense to buy me your SONAR 6  book. I read the first chapter and never looked back. So thanks!

Hi J... Thanks! I hope you enjoy the X3 book. Thanks also for sharing that story. It's good to know I was able to help you move to digital. I was one of the lucky ones that learned both on analog and digital in school, so I understand both 'worlds'.

The thing about Scott's books is that Sonar mostly added on to an existing foundation, and Scott's books cover the foundation. So much of it, probably most, remains relevant.

Thanks, Craig! Looks like you and I are the only two authors still writing about SONAR.

Thanx craig and scott, I was actually thinking.....what about the sonar documentation when the servers eventually go down, I really would love all of that stuff in a book...wink wink.....ive got your 1st book of tricks craig........so yeah, I wouldn't mind getting that sonar x3 book myself...and the 2nd book of tricks of course

I have Scott's 'X Series' set of books which I thoroughly recommend (er, just don't drop them on your bare foot - they're toe-breakingly heavy!), I also have a couple of others including this one: https://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.action?itemid=333874&
which I still occasionally dip into - it has a DVD ROM included, whether it suited to your particular needs is another matter. Good luck with your search.
