Sound on Sound SONAR column - in case anyone wondered

I've been asked to continue my monthly column in Sound on Sound magazine, and concentrate on what's available in Cakewalk by BandLab. I think this makes a lot of sense, because surely there will be an influx of new users coming in who do not have Sonar or the add-ons that came with it. Unfortunately my first post-CbB column was about imaging with Channel Tools because I didn't know it wasn't included in CbB (and didn't think to ask, doh) so that will be the last "Sonar" column. However the previous Sonar columns are still online at the Sound on Sound web site, and my Sonar tips books remain available at reverb.com.
 
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming 
 
 

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!

    And thanks for the links.

    Now Cakewalk is free, it's perfect for high schools, music schools and universities for students to write and record compositions on. It's perfect for music education and sharing projects back and forth between different locations.

    Good news - glad you've come back from the dark side 



    I'm still working with a couple other programs...always have. But now that I'm unemployed, I have time to write about all of them  
     
    The first "new" column will be about Cakewalk by BandLab's top 10 unique features, which will hopefully help new users wrap their heads some of what makes the program special.
     
    And while I'm here...to those who are afraid of downloading the new version, don't be. It works fine.

    Thank Sound on Sound! They were the first magazine to recognize that Sonar was a program deserving of coverage, so they asked me to write the Sonar Notes column. They also broke the news about the BandLab acquisition, the news of the new name and the free model, and they asked me to continue with the column now that it's CbB. It's a great magazine, as are the people who make it happen.

    That sounds great. I look forward to that. I also bookmarked those links.
    I've been around here a while, so I knew that you had a couple of books. I expect that you could easily swap out the names and wording to state Cakewalk by BandLab now, which will be of help to the masses switching to or trying Cakewalk by BandLab, and get you a fair few sales in the process. Win win.
    Thanks.
