Thanks John. Hope you find the vid useful ston.

Based on the description, this seems much more useful for X3 than the Groove 3 series.  The groove videos seem like rehashes of the X1 and x2 vids.  Well done, but redundant if you watched the X1 and X2.

Yes, there is a LOT of overlap in the Groove 3 video. However, as Chuck mentioned, it's for the audience that has not watched the X1 or X2 videos.  he does a great job none the less.

Eli is probably saving the best bits for the advanced video that will follow perhaps. hopefully he does one at some point.
 
x3 isn't that massively different to say 8.5 and x1 was.. so it's tricky... you can't say to a new user.. oh and if u wanna know the basics buy x1 and x2 vid's also. Have the year pass for groove3, like others on here. so no biggy.

Hey All,
 
Fog got it right. I am sorry that the Sonar X3 Explained videos does cover much of the same ground as the previous Explained titles. But our goal is to have a single unified series that allows users to get up to speed with the new version (X3) from scratch. And to do so with a video series shot in that version. Groove3 has done the same thing with other DAWs; Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, etc. I always do make sure to include the new features relevant to the new intended workflows. 
 
The "what's new in version xxx" path is also a great way to go. It's just not what we chose to do this time round.

I just purchased the videos done by FBB, and I have to say they are very well done. Clearly focused on the new features in X3. I can't wait to dig in a little deeper. Great job!

I had figured that I'd watch the Groove3 X3 videos when I update, but just watch the chapters that applied to the new stuff in X3. Not sure why people are disappointed that it covers much the same ground as the X2 course when you'd have to learn that same stuff if you were learning X3 from scratch. And it's not as if they've reused the same videos, they've all been done afresh. But what kind of different stuff were you expecting to find in, say, the piano roll video? 
 
Agreed, if I'd purchased the X2 course then I probably wouldn't buy the X3 course because of the similar content. But since I have a Groove3 subscription then of course I'm going to take advantage of the new stuff. 

Even if you have watched his X2 video's, a review is always good.  At least for me, a user who does not live in Sonar :)

Thanks for the props. Hope you find the videos helpful.

Nice one Karl.
 
You were a bit conspicuous by your absence over the last few months I did think to myself "I know what he's up to!"
