I'd like to thank all of you who are reading Tech+Music for making this a very successful launch. There were more impressions in the first week of August (>42,000) than in the last three weeks combined - the growth from issue to issue is exponential.
 
I particularly appreciate those who signed up on issuu.com because that provides data on which articles generate the most interest. The Loop Construction one was extremely popular, which implies that more articles along the lines of getting the most out of existing SONAR features would be welcome. Also, the articles on the 30th anniversary freebies always do well.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you! If you have suggestions for material you'd like to see covered in future issues, please feel free to chime in.

Hi Craig, and thank you for making these available for the rest of us.
Might have some ideas down the line.
All the best.

Thank you. 
I'll sign up on issuu.com in order to give a more accurate representation of the numbers.
The info in T+M is much appreciated.

I just signed up on issuu.com. Again, many thanks for doing the fine job you are on this. Very cool.
 
Maybe there could be an article on alternate controllers for future publication? Everything from the older wind, drum, and guitar controllers to the ROLI might be dealt with. An article on tweaking various CC's to allow various hardware and software devices to approximate better expressiveness could be in order. Options for remapping could be explored. This is a suggestion just off the top of my head; it's hardly a burning issue.
 
Although more of a niche article, options and resources for "original" renaissance music instrumentation might be another idea for an article.

I agree, and as it turns out, you'll be seeing one on the Linnstrument in an upcoming issue, and the ROLI as well. Thanks for the suggestion, it shows interest in a topic I wasn't sure interested people or not.

Though it may not appeal to many users, I would really appreciate an article on "creating your first song in Sonar."
 
As I'm new to recording, I'm just lost.  Just an article on creating a song that has a few tracks - midi, audio, and VSTi, adding an effect or two, then mixing it down to a final product.

You can't go wrong by teaching people about the features that they've paid for. There's so much under the hood now that I'm sure there are far more effective ways for us to use Sonar day-to-day, and a lot of things that never get looked at. Nothing better than learning more without spending more. One of my go-to Sonar phrases is "I didn't know it could do that."

I also think this is a GREAT idea

Not that I have anyone of those, but cool
