Every youtube video I have come across of Sonar X series has been a tutorial...My fear is that most people do not want to see a tutorial. Its boring and it makes the DAW you are using look like a science lab for monitoring sound waves. 
 
When I see yet another tutorial in the first two minutes (if it last that long) I click out of it!
 
Cakewalk themselves always seem to lean on the tutorial side of things lol it doesnt increase anyones enthusiasm to buy if the main point is to sell. This way of doing it looks mundane feels mundane and i reckon that going through the motions must bore the hell out of you guys. Why so formal, is this how you guys see your own products? No wonder why it is so difficult getting your new upgrades up and out the Door! If you show no enthusiasm in letting go a bit enjoying the product you have why would anyone else. So many young people want to see something more and less formal.
 
Seems like Cakewalk are selling to the market who are almost dead on their feet. Come on guys get with it, you don't have to act as if you got the funk in your shoes, that would be false. Just do some more up tempo vids on how you make a song from start to finish!
 
Bring the wow factor to your products, when you see videos of people making songs (hate the word beats) it gets you interested in what you used and what DAW? comments like I must get that springs to mind. Overall you need new market strategies cos the boring lab lets check out lp64 and bore you for fifty minutes talking about it until we run out of things to say then go on to the next boring plug in and drain your life force out of me for another fifty. Make a song, use the plug ins that you have enjoy yourselfs. Maybe those independent users who see your vids will copy and start putting up you tube vids of how you created your music and go through the process.
 
Let me assure you its the difference between a Hollywood Block Buster worth millions and a subtitled French b movie about the farming egg espionage starring Olivio Floyd Pierre Mcdougal.

Hello Dappa1,
 
DAWs are audio labs. Mixing & mastering is a science/art, which requires analysis. I am not at that level yet, I'm just trimming and hacking the ends off and moving them around.
 
I have found several of the tutorials on Youtube very useful. There are also people who make a lot of money creating and selling tutorials, whether that be a video or a book. Besides, it's not a tutorial that is boring, it is the presenter. Tutorials are necessary, and as somone new to audio and Sonar X2, they have helped me a lot (even the boring ones), and they actually make my experience more positive than pulling my hair out for hours. Another thing to consider is that they are free. You could dig into your pocket and buy those Groove 3 vids I see being mentioned. Perhaps they would be better.
 
Have you made any videos of yourself making music? Maybe you could fill the gap in the Youtube market (not a sarcastic remark).
 
Considering that people make music in so many different ways, it would be a mammouth task to produce end-to-end tutorials of producing a piece of music. All those different instruments, effects and tracks would make it extremely challenging. I think these things have to be broken down into individual components/techniques with a short demo of what that component does.
I for one, would prefer to find a tutorial on compression and limiting, than scan through an entire song tutorial trying to find the bit I need to learn about. Only after we know the individual components can we put them to use.
 
Anyway, I wish you well in your quest for charasmatic tutorials.
All the best,
 
Lee.

Funny -- I'm really ONLY interested in tutorials. If you don't have something to teach me, then I'd be having more fun playing my guitar.
 
Why do I want to watch YOU have fun when I could be having fun!
 

I think the fun videos are the ones of video of bands playing where the recording was mixed within Sonar... that's kinda fun...
 
Like these...

Fun?

Don't kill the messenger!
 
boy these golden oldies!
 
Ok I see that everyone is different maybe cater more, new market new X2 different approach...most times you learn by interacting yourself and being inspired,
 
My question is where is your music really going if you can't get the hang of some simple plug ins and what they do. Go to college!

with out a single glitch!
 
Amazing!

I have a very good understanding of Sonar yet I am not so perfect that I can't learn something new from a quality tutorial. 
 
CW also wants to reach out to new users. What better way to help a new user than via a set of video tutorials? 

Quit buggin.

I've enjoyed every tutorial vid I've seen from CW, and in some cases over the years, have found them to be an invaluable resource. In fact, certain videos have played a significant role in convincing me to hop on board with newer versions of the product. So, at least for one customer, I'd have to respectfully disagree with the OP's hypothesis.

Hmmm?
