Hi Scott
Great to see the book is available. Will there be an e-version available?

Hi Scott;

The X2 Power book, which UPS delivered at noon yesterday, has been on target 100% so far with the topics I wanted to see first.  It is a bit more streamlined than the X1 book and leads the reader, especially new users, straight into the subjects.  It is a very good thing that the last two chapters are on the CAL language, which I use and need to look up, and Audio for Video which comprise almost half of my workflow.  I have used CAL since the Pro Audio days and find it useful to help with custom settings.

My hats off to you for another Right On! book for Sonar!

Best,  Clint

controlling it instead of the other way around.  Your book should complete the experience by em"power"ing me to take that control to the next level. As I've said here before, Cake manuals/help files are fine if one already knows what to look for, whereas your books have opened my eyes to things I didn't already know and explained them in a logical, not technical, way. Jeez... I sound like an ad, don't I?

best work has not been added.  Actually, I'm hoping you cover Cakewalk Publisher in X2 Power since I feel I'm being left behind in understanding how to get my music "out there". I plan on starting another thread about website development...

Sorry for going on so long, but I truly am looking forward to X2 Power! 

Hey Rob... you can post as many comments as you'd like, even if they sound like an ad. That's fine with me.  Seriously though, I may repost your comments in various places (like on my site and newsletter, etc.) to help promote the book. Is that okay?


The book doesn't cover Cakewalk Publisher. I don't really recommend it. It's actually easier if you sign up with a site like SoundCloud (or others). You can upload your music there and most of those types of sites provide a free player that you can add to your site.


Thanks!
Scott

Hi Scott

Hey Sepheritoh... yes, there will definitely be an eBook version. I believe the Nook version over at Barnes & Noble is already available and the Amazon Kindle version is currently in the works. I'm hoping that the publisher will have the Kindle version ready around the end of this month. I'll be sure to announce the eBook when it's ready.

Were you wondering about Nook or Kindle?

Also, to Everyone... keep in mind that both Nook and Kindle ebooks can be read on various devices (even Mac and PC). You don't need to actually own a Nook or Kindle reader.


Thanks!
Scott

Hey Clint... thanks a lot for the great comments! I may repost those to help promote the book. Is that okay?


Yeah, I wish Cakewalk would develop CAL further. That one topic alone could probably fill a whole book. And as far as  I know, there isn't another DAW out there that provides that type of functionality (although I could be wrong). But just think how powerful it could be to automate everything in SONAR and create your own editing tools via scripting. You can do that now with CAL up to a point, but it could be so much more.

Hi, Scott, 
I have the same interest of twoifbysea, about the dead links in the X1 Power book.  I've already asked you by email about 2 years ago but you didn't reply... 
Thanks 

Hi Atsuko... Regarding the video links... I'm currently re-editing to make some changes, but I'll be releasing them again over the next few weeks. Actually, the DreamStation video is already available... http://garrigus.com/?DreamStation I'll have the next one (probably TTS-1) up shortly.


I'm sorry if I didn't reply to your email. I get a lot of messages and I may sometimes miss a few.


Thanks!
Scott

Great news thanks Scott


My preference is the Kindle, as I already have lots of Amazon books (on ipad).

X2 Power is a must have for every Sonar user.


Scott, you have out done yourself! 

I am very pleased that I got this book. You all know I do know Sonar fairly well yet this book gives me confidence that without it I would be hard pressed to have. Any question I have is answered with Scott's own wonderful style. I don't know how he put this massive book together but it truly shines.

Thank you Mr.Garrigus!

P.S. The is just what us X2 users needed.

Got it!!! I'm impressed. I like having The Comprehensive Guide at my disposal.
