Hi folks,

Just to clear up the format question with our video.  The video is in deed an iDevice friendly format and can be played on the lasted versions of the iPods/iPhones/iPads.  The video contains multiple files and is set up as a TV Show in iTunes.  We recommend importing the files into your iTune library - which they will appear in the TV Show section.  Each chapter is listed as an episode to make it easier to navigate when watching with an iDevice or even from an Apple TV.

Hope this helps.

The video I downloaded was from the cakewalk store where I purchased it. It was not multiple files but one very big file. It would be nice to have the videos divided into sections instead of attempting to remember where I left off and picking up from there. I am about half way through. the one video is 9 hours long! wow!!!!


Is there any way I can get the version that is cut into sections at the cakewalk store? Thanks

Marcus, just in case you're not aware of it, in Karl's signature there's a link to a table of contents pdf for the video with sections and times. I printed it out. Very useful !

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the heads up on the table of contents. I would still like to get them chopped up by chapter. I think if I can't get it that way I will just use Vegas to hack it up by chapters. Just for personal use and reference in case I need to find some info fast.

Is the HD version going to be available via cakewalk?

Hi I've been in contact with CW customer service about the HD (1080p) version of the SWA video being available. I purchased the original 720p version but would prefer the HD version for more detail. I did get a reply saying that they were being given the new format video for download and that when I try to download again the HD version would be available. I tried and it wasn't, still the 720p version. (This was a couple of weeks ago). I have replied but have heard nothing back yet. Try contacting customer support, the more customers that ask the more likely we will get our way! SJD

SJD,

My guess is that maybe the HD version is the one that is divided into sections or segments. I was not really a big fan of the SWA Sonar X2 Mix Clinic, but it is divided up into smaller sections. For me it makes going through the course much easier.

For example, If I can't remember a certain thing that was said about working with the video or the step sequencer, instead of calling up the 9 hour video and scrolling half way through it, I just click on the segment and watch it from there.

While I have been going through this series that Karl put together, I am starting to become convinced that his video is the most informative one out there. There is a lot of information to digest. Karl knows his stuff!

Hi. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this one either - not much good am I.

I'll try contacting CW as well to see if I can get an answer.

I got mine through the Cake store as well.
I haven't downloaded it yet but hopefully they have the HD version available now.
Guess I'll find out this weekend.

If you watch the video on a PC using QuickTime, you can use the drop down on the lower right to list all the chapters and jump to where you want to be.  I do not seem to be able to find this index anywhere using Windows Media Player, and was in the process of writing all the times down until I tried QuickTime.


Cheers
