Thanks again Guys.

You guys act like you enjoy this :P

and I'll add - Cake is lucky to have you guys. For sure.

Nice work again.

I am not trolling here but Seth what computer keyboard is Brandon using is it wireless ? I like small keyboards and that looks kinda neat almost like a mac keyboard but in black

Am I allowed to ask a question here?

In the Webinar, you guys talk about synth plug levels being set too high and distorting by some folks and that thats not a good thing.

But for recorded tracks (microphone or DI'd), what nominal level should I be aiming for?

I do understand that, from a sound quality point of view and the 64bit sound engine it hardly matters, and in contrast to tape, with a DAW it's better to aim low. 

But surely FX plugs, especially compressors, expect a certain level to work properly?

So where should I aim for my average/max peak levels to be on naturally recorded instruments/vocals?

Even if I normalize or up the gain after the initial recording, what average level should I aim for?

I'm a serious Sonar user for many years, and what might be called a power user even if I say so myself.  And if watching these webinars with Brandon and Seth don't convince people just how far Sonar is biting the behind of the so-called industry standard (Pro Tools), then I'll eat my hat (er make that your hat lol).

Seriously -- this product is evolving into a monster professional app that covers so much ground that would be an asset to any producer.

And Brandon and Seth are being extremely generous with their knowledge, talent and skills in these videos.  Again big kudos and big thanks to them.
