garrigusIf Cakewalk releases an X3 version of SONAR, then I'll be doing a book about it. Is that vague enough?

But, will there be any kittens in it ?

Of course! Appendix K: How to record your kitten.  Scott

Have it come With sample scratch tracks and video in 16x9 litterbox format please. ;)

It's a shame that Cake doesn't make you more in the know, Scott. I'd love to see your Power books release along side or near Sonar releases. Granted, some things change right before a release, but most of it is set enough that it wouldn't be too hard to get the meat and potatoes done so you can add the changes fairly quickly and get to publish ASAP.

It would not shock me if Scott was given early access to Sonar products, considering their products have a symbiotic relationship.  Third party support and documentation is a factor for some when weighing product choices.  I think it just takes time to write a book with so much info.  For speculation purposes ( and i did grab a random number), let's say that the beta of a new product was finalized was close enough to begin writing the book 2 months before actual release.  Unless Scott was content to simply add hastily written appendix chapters for new features, it's going to take more than two months to give the thorough treatment we are used to from his books.  Like many of us, I am sure Scott has to take the time to discover things that are simply not covered well in the documentation . Look at mostly books released simultaneously with a product and they are typically just the manual with nicer pics and the author's attempt to sound clever.  The exception is often books made by the company itself, but that usually pisses me off because it seems like they were holding back pertinent info for the shear purposes of selling me something they should have given me when i paid hundreds for their product.  I figure by the time I have taken my own time to sort through the basics of thre product (and time for Cakewalk to release a patch), I'll be ready for a book with features that supplement what I already know.  I would much rather he take his time and give me something useful.

Scott's book came out so late after release that I didn't buy it.

Hey guys...
 
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the interest. Dubdisciple got it right though... in order to create a quality book, it takes a number of months. Not just for writing, but there's also editing, indexing, layout, design, etc. The SONAR Power! books are a professional series. I'm sure you've purchased books before with lots of editing errors, crappy layout, or a bad index. Those are types of books that are rushed out the door. If I ever released a book like that, not only would it hurt my reputation, but I would never hear the end of it from the readers!
 
If you think you can learn SONAR on your own, then more power to you. But my books do provide a professional learning experience with lots of additional tips, techniques, and insights you won't find elsewhere. But unfortunately, producing something like that takes time.
 
Thanks!
Scott

Not sure... I haven't seen Fog around. He usually brings it up.
