Hey Alex,

I'll keep on top of it. I've sent another note to the publisher, but unfortunately, that's about all I can do. They own the book.

Thanks!
Scott

I've got a bunch of Sonar Power books and I don't want another book that has chapters devoted to legacy items.

I think there needs to be a new format available for updates. Raise the price on the standard Power book and publish addendums with each paid update. Essentially do the document updates like software updates.

I love the Power series but I only want to buy the X2 specific stuff. No need for another word on Pentagon or Beatscape or CAL when I already have Sonar Power 2,6,8, & X1. I don't mind paying, I just don't like paying for the same thing many times.

Hey Bram,

Thanks very much! Not to worry... I'm sure Feb 27 will be here before we know it.  Time seems to fly faster and faster these days.

Hey John,


Thanks very much! I appreciate all your support.


Unfortunately, books don't work that way. At least, I don't know of any publisher that releases books in that way and the publisher owns the book(s). I'm just the lowly author. I write it, but they own it and control how it's published, etc. I can definitely pass on your idea and suggestions to the publisher though.


In any case, there will be quite a bit of new material in the X2 Power book because of all the changes in X2 as well as the X1 interim updates.

Hey Alex... and Everyone...

Guess what? I just heard back from the publisher and the deal is finally done.

The SONAR Power! books will be back on the Amazon Kindle again... AND... this will be both in the US as well as internationally.

So those of you still needing X1 Power... that will be up on Kindle shortly... I'll post again as soon as Amazon gets the page up.

And for those of you wanting to know about X2 Power... that's a definite YES... it will be available on Kindle in the US and internationally.

How's that for some great news?

Scott

That's great news!!!! Even greater news would be that X2 Power is available for my Christmas list.

Thanks, Rocky! Yeah, I wish I could have gotten it done for Christmas, but there's a lot of new features to cover and I didn't want to rush it. So while the book won't be out till end of February, it's actually available for pre-order right now... so you can still add it to your list...

I'm having some health issues that are affecting my higher brain functions, including my short term memory. I have been struggling with X2 but I just can't seem to remember the things I need to learn. I will definitely buy your book when it is available because I think I will need something like it if I ever want to record another song of mine. Keep up the good work, Mr. Garrigus, and thank you.

Amazon UK is still selling all of your previous books Scott, right back to Sonar 2! (all at what I imagine is full price as well)
