Should I Put Together a Second Book of SONAR Tips with the Remaining Tips?

Just gauging interest here, it's a lot of work so no guarantees...I do appreciate that several of you have bought The Big Book of SONAR Tips and Equalization De-Mystified from Reverb.com, so I guess there's some interest, but wanted to see what y'all thought. I know there's a doc floating around with the final new tips, but I'd do the same thing as the previous book (update, categorize, list the contents, fixx the typoze, etc.).

The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

What would be interesting is if you did a comparison between Dr T's Level 2 KCS and Band in a box, Realband.  Before I had any computer literacy I studied your book a lot.  and I would write little meditations not being able to provide examples to myself because I didn't have the computer coding and scripting understanding nor the   physics and mechanics vocabulary.  I think had that program continued, the sequencing world might be in a different place.  I loved that Amiga computer.  IN some ways the software development hasn't improved as much as many people think it has. Bars & Pipes was another genuis program.   Other than VST's and DXI I don't see that things are really that different.  I think that KCS Level 2 program was way ahead of its time.  Anyways thanks for giving me some dreams to work with quite a while ago.   What was your favorite computer?  Sonar is great I plan to keep using it but what happened to the video's that you did for it?  They don't seem to be listed in the Products page.  You spoke in a third person format and so introducing the Sonar program X1 took some time to convert it into action sequences.  But now that I understand how Sonar operates it wouldn't be a bad time to revisit them.   Also If you dreamed up a course for Reaktor to build just electronic principles through a music tool building kit.  The art of composing required quite a few musicians in the past to build their own instruments and electronic gadgets.  With reaktor everyone can develop music machine tooling and musical modeling in one go.  Max and MSP  and even Mathematica would be interesting areas to explore but for me I am dyslexic and so I can't work with actual electronics; but I find it fascinating.  It's just with some of these its hard to explain a lot of interesting concepts.  Also 40 years ago we tried to build a synthesizer located in Popular electronics and about a third of the way through , the management decided they would scrap the VCA module.  So we decided we would build our own vca's and we never could get it working right, but it was quality time spent with my dad.  Thanks for your efforts.

I thought the stuff on this forum is Gibson property*...(and Mr.Anderton is no longer affiliated with Gibson?) else Panup or Mudgel should be allowed to have a copy of the forum database for their alternate CW forums! (As has been posted/requested in other threads)

* even though I personally feel it is our/the user-base intellectual property and anyone posting here does this knowing and wanting the posts content to be free to use for others. In that sense I am not saying Mr Anderton should not (be allowed to) make a book out of it, just that the posts should NOT be removed as happened last time. THAT was NOT ok in my opinion.

It's very easy to say YES and land Craig with a load of work. I have the first book and it was invaluable, but to be honest, my focus is now elsewhere. I don't believe SONAR has a long term future, and my personal focus is learning Studio One.

There will be a significant portion of the Sonar community who will not buy a second book because they feel like I do.

Please do, or even combine with the first book, so there is just one "The big book of Sonar tips". Many of your tips transcends Sonar even though there is a sonar-specific implementation.

Even though Sonar will not be updated anymore I still think it will become a nostalgic workstation for many digital audio users. So I think you should make another book. The first one was awesome.

Maybe a white paper on steps to take to get a User's Sonar stable without having to be connected to internet, with all needed future info acquired/ saved, and "freeze" the User's software in time. As a preamble.
My apologies....I have a couple Sonar books building for the future but I likely wouldn't buy this book. You've always done a great job.

I probably would not by it. I'm cutting Sonar loose and investing in SO3. So if you ever do a book on Studio One Tips, I'd buy that in a heart beat.

I'd focus on that collaboration you mentioned with Presonus and do a big book of tips for Studio One instead Craig:) Growing market there.
 
Its been a great 25 years but it's time I moved on.
 
Wishing you only the best Craig, and I'll see you on the other side!
