Of course you may quote me if you like. I wrote that with quoting in mind.  

Thanks, John! I appreciate it. Yeah, I thought you wrote it that way on purpose, but I always ask permission just to be safe. And because it's the right thing to do, of course.

Scott, feel free to quote me any time, anywhere.  Thanks for the heads up about Publisher. I actually signed up for SoundCloud, but I want to have my own site... my only issue is figuring out how to make my samples play without opening a separate window (quicktime, windows media player, etc)  and then having to close it again to get back to my site. Too clunky.   Anyway, as I said, I think I'll start another thread... don't want to hijack this  lovefest  

Thanks, Rob! I appreciate it. Hey, everybody loves a good lovefest. 


You can play files from other services (like SoundCloud) on your site without opening another window. Most of those sites provide you with a widget that you can embed on your site. Your visitors stay on your site and they can play your music even though your music is being streamed from SoundCloud (or another site).

I got my book yesterday. I had a small amount of time before falling to sleep to read it.  
Scott`s work in summarizing X2 is wonderful! All those little tricks I was missing is in there.
Can`t wait for more time this weekend to keep reading it. I admit this is my 1st power book from Scott. For what little I paid, its worth ever penny. A must have for X2 users. 

Hey Don... thanks very much! Can I quote you too?

It's your first SONAR Power! book? Well, if you have the time, I recommend reading it cover-to-cover to get the most out it. I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Thanks!
Scott

My copy would have arrived today but for some reason, Fedex now delivers to the local post office and they, (typically), take several more days to finally make the delivery. Very interesting....BTW, this will be my sixth SP book! Paul 

Hey Paul... yeah, that happens here too sometimes. I think it has something to do with Fedex Ground or something, but I don't know for sure. But so far the post office is still delivering on Saturday's so maybe you'll get it today!


It's your sixth SONAR Power! book? Cool! And thanks very much!

My Sonar X2 Power! is due to arrive at the end of April, replacing my X1 Power! book.

I find that one of my biggest challenges is understanding inputs and outputs and minimizing the time it takes me to move from having an idea I want to record, to actually recording it.

Thanks very much, Laura! I appreciate it. That's good news. Are you located overseas, which is why it's taking a little longer to receive the book?


One thing to look at in SONAR to get up and running quickly is project templates. You can create your own project template and have it set up with all the settings and tracks you'd like, complete with inputs/outputs already configured. Then when you want to start a new project, you just load the project template and you're ready to go. This is assuming, of course, that your mics are plugged in to the same inputs all the time.


Thanks!
Scott

Hey Bonjo... excellent, and thanks very much! Yeah, I heard from another UK reader that they got a ship date of May 14th or right around there. Hopefully, it'll arrive as soon as possible. And I hope you enjoy it.


Thanks!

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

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

Scott.  Yes, that is OK  I hope you sell a million copies!

You can play files from other services (like SoundCloud) on your site without opening another window. Most of those sites provide you with a widget that you can embed on your site. Your visitors stay on your site and they can play your music even though your music is being streamed from SoundCloud (or another site).

Scott

Thanks, Scott.  Will definitely look into this.


Best,
Rob

I suppose I should contact Amazon. I placed my advance order weeks ago and still no sign of the book. I'm thinking I should've seen it by now?
