Beep, just in case you somehow manage to run out of manuals, tutorials and videos please allow me to recommend one more well worth looking into.

Mix It Like A Record With Charles Dye.

He does use PT but the info applies to listening and mixing, not how to use a particular DAW. 
A very good source of mixing knowledge.

Mike

Awesome. Always looking for ways to hone my skills. I do however have a massive backlog of tuts/manuals waiting to be absorbed. Getting itchy to make some tunes again but I gotta be patient I guess. I've been hacking away at the manual non stop for a week now and only just broke page 200 a little earlier today. lol

I don't think I've ever opened a Cakewalk manual.
Scott's Sonar Power books yes.
I mostly rely on people like you to read and post your findings here.
It's the lazy bas***d in me.

So from all of us lazy folks here, I'd like to extend a gracious and heartfelt Thank you.  


Mike

Lol... well I've been kicking around the idea of making my psychotic notes available to the forum. Maybe I'll PM you a copy after I'm done. It's turning into an extremely large Notepad doc though and it's kind of scattered.

Thanks, Mike! I'm honored to hear that my book has helped even a lazy guy like you.

Beep, that sounds to me like I'd have to do the reading.
It would be much easier for me if you could just record your notes and export them in MP3 format.
Then just fly on down to my house, upload the file to my iPod and iPhone, put in my earbuds (to my ears of course) then press play.
Awesome, thanks .
Oh and it'd be great if you could have this done, loaded, playing and out of my house by 5:30 pm this Thursday Mmmkay?
I have a pizza coming and I'm not really up for sharing any with you. (Just kidding of course Beepster my good man. It's not that I don't want to share, it's just that I'm cheap as well as lazy). 

Scott I've been reading your books since version 6.
You do an excellent job of explaining things in a way that makes it easy to grasp and retain.
Even tho at this point I only use them to learn how to use the new functions and toys in each new version of Sonar, I find it money well spent.
It's nice to follow through and do things step by step.
I happen to be one of those people who learn better by doing rather then reading so I read through a section first than go back and do it along with the book.
It sticks to my brain cell better that way.  

Mike 

Can I at least have the crusts?

I don't want to eat them but I can use them to create a bapu statue for my shrine.

Thanks, Mike! Yeah, it's been a long journey since the very first book. Version 6 was a while back too. Hopefully, I'm getting better with age.

That was my first book, Sonar 6PE - bought it in August 2007 and read it from cover to cover whilst on holiday before I'd even started using Sonar

Hey Colin,

Now that's dedication.  Not many people would read the entire book before even getting their hands on the software. I do that too... get books about products/topics and read them first many times. Even if I don't decide to use something, it's good to keep up on the info that's out there.


Thanks!
Scott
