Just noticed the sale on vids and this particular one I think is going to be ridiculously useful to me...

The included effects tend to confuse the heck out of me and I find the manual entries sparse at best. For 8 bucks I'm not seeing how I can go wrong here. I also like how Karl explains stuff in his vids.
 
Thanks, dudes... and no I am not getting paid to shill. ;-)

Let us know what you think after you get it and review it.

Will do but I doubt I'll be able to really dig into it until long after the current special is over. Basically just watching someone with experience manipulate and give insight to the controls and how they affect the audio will be useful to me. I've got piles of notes and bookmarks on whatever I've happened to stumble across in my travels but they are quite disparate and scattered as well as intermixed with more general descriptions of effect principles. Having something specific to the included effects in Sonar I think will help hone and focus on what I can and cannot do with what I have. I tend to overlook or dismiss some of these tools because I do not know exactly what they are or what they are supposed to be used for and/or my hamfisted attempts at making them work how I think they should ends up frustrating me so I fallback on the ones I know how to use reliable which is kind of a limited few.
 
For now though I have a big old pile of life dung to shovel out of my way but I hope after that is done I can get back to work and 5 hours of Karlesque advice on these tools is exactly what I needed.
 
Cheers.

John - I've had it since it was released. This kind of subject coverage was long overdue. I was very glad Karl put it together. I found it a combination of being both a nice refresher and it helped fill in a lot of things that I was fuzzy on. Even on stuff I thought I had pretty well understood, Karl often showed something that I either found useful or pleasantly surprising.

Thumbs up!

Exactly what I'm looking for. I KIND of understand what all the doodads are and how to use them but it's definitely a lot of trial and error. Just want to become a little more confident with them.

I decided to get it no matter what the review was. Sorry Beep. I'm glad i did. Its a very useful video. Some of it is stuff we already know but a lot of it covered stuff I know but not a fully as I should. Example the Analyst is something I have tried to avoid. FBB goes into great detail here and opens my mind and eyes as to just how useful it is. 
 
Here I'm learning to take another look at something that has been there that I shouldn't have ignored. So already its been worth the nominal price. Darn good work Karl!

+1 I liked it. I love Anderton's vids too. And hey I guess I haven't seen a Cake vid that I didn't find helpful.
