X3 is really good. Sans color selection (not my fault) and lack of MIDI knowledge (my fault), it is good. Just wish I had more time to create.

Reader review from James Sheets - http://www.amazon.com/gp/..profile/A2EZF25NYEJRMH/"I am a musician, songwriter, vocalist with a home studio. I have lots of books and resources on each of these dynamics. In my studio my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is Sonar X3 Producer. Sonar is powerful - which being interpreted means it can do almost everything, like Windows it gives you multiple ways to do everything, and therefore is intimating sometimes with where to start or which path to take. It would be easy to get lost in the process if I didn't have Scott Garrius' Sonar X3 Power! The Comprehensive Guide. Sonar X3 Power is freaking awesome! Scott does an excellent job of defining what Sonar is, why you need it, what it can do, and how to do it. Having Sonar X3 Power is like taking a college level course in recording. Using, text, screenshots, links to websites, online articles, etc., Scott takes our hand and shows us the best and most efficient way to take our musical ideas and goals and get them into the digital "real" world. I recommend Sonar X3 Power! The Comprehensive Guide to anyone, and everyone, who has a desire to record music, beats, soundtracks, film scores, podcasts, you name it and Sonar X3 Power will put the tools into your hands to use Sonar to "git 'er done"!" SONAR X3 Power! is available in the Cakewalk Store at: http://www.store.cakewalk...sp?sku=30-CTSX3.00-20C

+1 from me as well, Scott. I know the publisher has the final say about the format and just love what they have done with the X series' size. I tried to post the other day, but the site was not letting me do so. Just wanted to let you know.

I might have to consider the Kindle version. Space is a problem for me. Before I moved I had to throw out my previous editions of Sonar Power. I had one dated back to Sonar 2.

Hey Paul... No! Those were worth millions! Just kidding... I wish they were. Yeah, the Kindle version is nice because you only need to purchase one copy, but you can put it on all your devices using the free reading apps from Amazon. So once you buy a copy, it goes into your Amazon account, and then you can sync that with any device you own, including PC/Mac, Android, iOS, etc. So you can have the book with you no matter where you are.

Reader review from W. Kraft "djwayne" - www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2C3DHEXRE1ZFJ/"This is a very comprehensive guide to the Sonar X3 computer recording program. It's loaded with tips and tricks on how to get the most out of X3. It's an excellent reference book that you can use to look up how to do things when you have questions about the program. Very thorough. This book is a must have for any X3 user. After reading the book, Sonar X3 is a snap to use. The price is very reasonable for what you get. You're getting a college level book on how to use X3 for the price of a guitar or piano lesson. It's also up to date with the current version X3e !! Highly recommended for any Sonar X3 user !!"

Reader review from Michael Parson-McNamara - http://www.ampm24-7.com/Pages/default.aspx" Essentially this is the BEST and SHORTEST way to encyclopedic knowledge of Sonar X3!If you have any aspirations about getting the most out of your Sonar X3 DAW, then do yourself a guaranteed favor and get Scott R.Garrigus' Sonar X3 Power, ASAP! It is your best option, period. This is my 4th Power book by Scott and even though I've been working with Sonar for 13-14 years, I wouldn't even bother to upgrade without getting his matching guide. No matter what kind of music you intend to make with Sonar X3, Scott's book will be your "assistant", in finding out how to accomplish the best sounding recordings that can be made with X3's powerful tool set and the entire range of it's long list of features. It is, as all of Scott's other Power books are, a well written, and thorough encyclopedia of Sonar X3 DAW knowledge!"

Reader review from Clint Hoerner - www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2W6RXXFE755I2/" Sonar X3 Power is the best yet. Scott has surpassed himself with Sonar X3 Power. Not only is it current with the 5th release of service packs for X3, that being X3e, it also contains how to's of the included plug ins with the program. All the synths, VSTs plus AD and Melodyne are given separate treatment so a beginner can get going fast. The workflow changed from Sonar 8.5 to the X series and Scott shows how you can make the most of custom presets and VST lists to give you the most time to making and editing music. I have Sonar X1, X2 and now X3 Power, all written by Scott. They are all on my shelf for quick reference, as plug-ins and other modes of the program have changed. Not only is X3 the best version of Sonar, but Sonar X3 Power is the best book on X3. You will not be disappointed with this book and I urge anyone buying Sonar X3 to buy Sonar X3 Power!"

Reader review from MICROAPP " Required reading for the Sonar X3 user. Scott handles a complex subject in an easily understandable manner. Both the beginner and the experienced user will benefit from this book. Descriptions of features and operation are well organized and include many step by step procedures that are not included in the Sonar Manual. I have used Sonar since 2008 and virtually every section of this book revealed something totally new to me or expanded on details in areas with which I am familiar. I suggest reading a chapter and then sitting in front of Sonar and trying what you just read... especially for beginners..For advanced users the book provides an easily accessible and concise reference for the many features of Sonar."

Hey Scott, did the size of the font change in X3 Power compared to X2 Power? Based on Amazon's previews, it looks like X3's got smaller. Is this the reason for the decrease in page count? I actually thought the text was perfectly sized in X2 Power.

Hey Kyle... Not sure. I know they adjusted the design and layout so they could fit the same amount of content onto fewer pages. I'll send them a note to make sure they know about your font preference. They're usually open to suggestions. Thanks! Scott -- Scott R.

Hi Scott, I have all your Sonar Power books. I just received X3 Power from Amazon and was wondering if you would be making it available in their "MatchBook" program for Kindle at a reduced price for hardcopy owners, as was alluded to in an earlier post. It does not show up as an eligible book at the present. Frank

Reader review from BuleriaChk - www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2B8IJRK63KPZP/" An essential reference for sonar X3. This book is absolutely excellent for Sonar X3. I am fairly familiar with Sonar, and purchaed it (and X3) primarily for the new comping functionality, but it has all kinds of tips in all the other categories. (I eventually purchased the Kindle version, because the type was too small for my elderly eyes, but am able to adjust it on my Laptop, which is side by side with my main computer with X3. Thanks, Scott; great job#" SONAR X3 Power! is available in the Cakewalk Store at: http://www.store.cakewalk...sp?sku=30-CTSX3.00-20C And more info at: http://www.garrigus.com/

Reader review from J M McLean - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/profile/A109JUDJ92SOV/" More than just a technical reference book - it's a true Musician's Manual! Cakewalk provides its own, very detailed reference manual for Sonar spanning a couple of thousand pages. In addition Cakewalk has quite a comprehensive online help resource.These are fine if you want to know the technical details of the software. However, at the end of the day all it tells you is which button to press in order to bring up a function. Just as a car manual doesn't by itself make driving a pleasure, Cakewalk's own reference manual doesn't exactly inspire you to make music. Scott Garrigus has managed to do just this. This is a guide that helps you understand Sonar X3 from a musician's point of view - or a composer's point of view. Not only does he cover in detail how the machine works, but he also explains this in a musical context, helping you to understand why you would use a particular function, what the advantages are, how it affects your music. Every detail of the power of this wonderful DAW (it's the best in my opinion) is covered by Scott. The experienced user can dip in and out as required, or go to a particular topic for more clarity. A beginner can work through the guide in a structured manner. Even experienced users will find things they had forgotten about. This book helps you to become a master of your favourite tool. We've all tinkered with different software, tried different programmes, and we all think we have the basic gist of how things work. However, Scott's book really brings Sonar alive and makes you want to master it....because he makes it so easy. Explanations are clear, in plain English. Instructions have sufficient numbers of steps and do not assume you will somehow "know what he means". If you have sonar X3, this book will help you not only understand every aspect of it, but your enjoyment of using Sonar itself to make music will increase 100% as your confidence grows. The bottom line is, although Sonar X3 is a truly powerful programme, creating music with it is very straightforward as none of us will need all of its functions all of the time. Scott's guide enables you to hone in on the aspects of the programme that are useful to YOU. Scott's guide shows us just how easy it can be. You won't be disappointed with this book."
