It's unfortunate that Cakewalk's development model makes it impossible for third parties to create video's and users guides. By the time anyone creates something, it's outdated. Even Cakewalk doesn't create videos anymore.

Yes it is not a good thing that CW has so few third party video tutorials. We are left to make it on our own. Our best instructor is Craig. That dude keeps coming up with stuff that's outta the box!!

Not just videos. We are way overdue on a book too.

No more Sonar Power from Mr. Garrigus?

I think since Sonar went to monthly updates, this is a little hard to keep up to date with a book. I maybe wrong. Just speculating here.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's been a while since I've seen people asking for one too

Maybe Scott Garrigus could start a subscription model?  You know, publish a baseline Platinum book that covers all the new goodies added since X3. 
 
Then he could publish periodic updates, like appendixes, for all of the new features in each month's Sonar update...
 
I have the Sonar X3 Power book and I still refer to it.  But without Craig's big book of tips, the Cakewalk blog and update articles, and this forum. I would be lost! 
 
I did see another thread around here somewhere, where it was stated that some additional education efforts are under way with the Bakers, as well as a new, improved eZine!!!

It's even worse on us who are just starting about learning about home based recording.  As a beginner, learning  Sonar is far worse when everything changes monthly.
