Thanks Daryl. I hope those that buy them find them useful. I certainly put my all into them and didn't skimp on the detail or subjects, hence 9 hours......  They cover everything from real basic stuff through to a some of the more complicated areas of the program. I tried not to assume too much or skip anything I thought important. Many of the subjects are the common ones that come up on here over and over again. A novice could certainly start at the beginning and be well versed in X2 by the end of it, whereas a more experienced user could jump in half way through. As well as the obvious stuff, there's some of the more unusual subjects covered as well such as creating drum maps, instrument files, custom groups and creating FX chains etc.

Great news Karl. I'll be sure to include the vids when I buy X2. You make complicated things easy to understand. I'm waiting 4-6 weeks this time, as compared to my early adopter status with X1. Just in case.

Kongrats Karl!
I did not know it was you.
but aftere watching the preview I knew I just had to have it.....
After all, 9 hours of instruction for $26.00 is a very good price for lessons. Especially ones you can watch over and over......
Now I just need to down load the sucker................

I too have enjoyed, and learned from your vids. I'll be buying you're X2 tutorials as soon as I can which - will probably be in January.
9 hours? My X1 learning curve drove me nuts, but now I'm really paranoid :-).

Paul, I bought it direct from HERE using PayPal. It's $25.97 which PayPal converted to £16.55 (current exchange rate: 1 British Pound = 1.56918US Dollars) before I finalised the transaction. The 'real' exchange rate would give a figure of £16.00531, so I guess PP are charging 54½p "commission" to do the exchange.

Thanks everyone, (he says bumping the topic  ) I sincerely hope you all enjoy it and get something from it. I may have gone a bit too in detail, I guess the answer to that I'll know soon enough when a few people start passing judgment.....
chuckebaby
i agree,id love to see a breakdown list of topics karl.do you happen to have one off hand ?
I do sort of. Believe it or not I haven't seen the final post edit version yet so I'm a bit reluctant to list everything in case anything was edited out, but having said that I had several emails back and forth with Chris over at SWA, mainly me apologising for the length it had sort of grown into, which wasn't planned....... and he indicated that he was happy with it and would be using all of it. I'm guessing at nine hours there isn't much removed if any, believe it or not I pulled some myself. I'm working from notes so these may not each have their own dedicated video and in case of some of the bigger subjects might have three or four. All are between 8 -> 15 ish minutes. The "Matrix" demo is one of the longest and most are nearer 15 than 8..... SO with that in mind here is a sort of breakdown...... SETUP Audio Interface Audio Preferences MIDI devices Clock and syncing with external devices Control surfaces Hardware Synths and instrument files File Settings Plugin Manager GUI OVERVIEW GUI Introduction & Track View Browser & Multidock Inspector & Control Bar PRV Other Views (Can't remember the exact order of those - I'll amend them when I find out) THE BASICS Project template set up Exploring the track view MIDI & Synths explained Session Drummer & Drum Maps Track & Buss Templates & Inserting Synths Audio Routing - Sends & Busses Working with Video RECORDING Audio & MIDI Basics Advance MIDI (Quantise, step, etc) Matrix View (This is the demo video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jCk78ypkfs&list=UU8ZOYzBftN5Ez5JAFonfeCw&index=1&feature=plcp) Step Sequencer EDITING(If memory serves me correctly this is a huge chapter) Editing Basics (2 videos I think) MIDI editing in the PRV Staff View Comping V-Vocal Groove loops Tempo Changing and fitting audio to tempo (not using audiosnap) Audiosnap (4 videos covering from housekeeping and preparation, extracting and applying tempo, drum replacement, maintaining phase relationships, extracting, saving & applying "the groove", working with the pool. All of it on real 'live' drums and other live material. i.e. not already stuff tracked at or at a set tempo) MIXING (A little unsure of the exact order here there was some last minute rearranging done) Mixing preparation (Freezing Bouncing etc) The Console View inc custom Grouping. The ProChannel (inc setting up a sidechain) FX Bins & VSTS inc R-Mix overview FX Chains overview & creating Automation (this is more than one video IIRC) Exporting a Project Just remember that I'm working without the luxury of seeing the final video so that's from my notes and a rather hazy memory so may not be 100% accurate. I'd just like to add that it was a very, very busy but enjoyable time as well, a labour of love I think you'd call it. (I was so busy I was a lot less active on the forum for a while & didn't have a single track day either ). I approached it as if a new Sonar user with little or no studio software experience asked me to show them how to get going and then progressed to more advanced stuff as they become familiar with the terminology and program. That means there some very basic stuff at the beginning but later chapters get into the meaty stuff. I hope you all get something from it and honest feedback is always welcome. Thanks Karl PS. I'd like to thank all of you here for your support with my earlier video attmepts but also make a special mention for Jeff Evans, someone who's input I've always found helpful. It was a comment he made on my earlier youtube videos that gave me the confidence to take this on. So to Jeff a big THANK YOU.

Karl - Thanks for doing this and for the list of chapters you posted here. I've downloaded the vid and took a quick look - and it looks good. I was not, however, able to navigate from chapter to chapter. I'm looking at a nine hour video but don't know how to get to any one chapter, or find a section I watched previously. I default to WMP for this, but have tried other viewers with no luck. Is there any way I can get any viewer to show me the chapters, or markers? If not, can you (or the publisher) put out the list of topic along with the start time for each topic. That would be a huge help Thanks to you or anyone who can help mew with this.

I'm not sure TBH. I'll certainly try and find out for you but it might be quicker contacting their support directly, as that's all I do. http://streamworksaudio.com/products/swaCompleteSonarX2 I will contact them now for you but you might get a reply quicker than I do. Sorry. Karl
