 Now I am just waiting for the upcoming release of "Sonar X3 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide by Scott R. Garrigus (Apr 2, 2014).
 

 
7th May 2014 according to Amazon.
 
I thought I was only joking before about it being just in time for X4 !

Considering for some, the help in Sonar itsle fi enough and some have all of the above resources and still are clueless, the enswer really varies by individuals. No resource could possibly have every anser because someone will always figure workflow tricks even the developers never thought of. I say start with what you have and give gourself time to answer that question for yourself.

Oh I'm already doing that with dual monitors. I watched the Session drummer videos over the last 2 days and remembered everything, just by pausing the videos and practicing the techniques, my only obstacle being that the first video was made using a much older version of Sonar and much of it was too different in the current one.

I mostly self taught myself up to being able to play grade 8+ piano, can play and record almost any new melody and chords by ear, and have lots of lyrics and compositions written, but I was always stuck with being mostly useless at music production software which was holding me back. No longer, I will learn how to do this.

I bought MC6 around 8 months ago, but I was so rubbish at it. I kept trying to record every melody from the piano, spent around 2-3 months and nothing sounded right and needed way too many re takes. Melodyne editor is going to help me vastly with that, plus learning how to use the midi instruments and making loops.

Also either MC6 didn't have, or I just didn't know how to change my projects to a new tempo without having to record everything again. I've already figured out how to do that in Sonar, again mostly with midi and melodyne.

Though its amazing how Sonar X3 has made my 24" monitor seem far too small. One little trick I also found was to move my start bar to the left of the screen, as it was taking me ages to click on anything at the bottom without it popping up all the time.

I was just looking through these. As I'm completely new to Sonar X3, I went for Elis videos which seem more focused on X3, while the other one said it had 9 hours of videos about X2, and only 2 hours worth for X3.

 
This is true. The SWA X3 video was written as a complimentary video to the X2 one. There is an awful lot that is identical between X2 and X3 (All covered in the X2 vid) and the differences/new features are what are covered in the X3 video- hence the running time differential.
 
Horses for courses I guess, but it's nice to have the choice depending on your personal needs.

eli's new video on sonar x3 (new features) is awesome.
Karl's videos are really good as well.
karl has a lot of detail in his vids which I love.
 
both are a great choice

Hey Chuck, 
 
Thanks from me as well for the kind words and support. Glad you are enjoying the videos.
