Wow, I get so angry from the dumbest posts on the Sonar forum.  I totally understand being an newb, but some of these questions are beyond basic.  I will stick to this forum, and the software forum.  Sorry if this post is just as DUMB!

Welcome to the asylum, Joe.  

My damn SONAR X3 isn't working!!!  I finally had some time to make music 'cause the power's been off all day, but SONAR won't come up on my PC!!!  All I get is a blank screen...

Welcome to the DUMBEST forum of all. Looks like you'll fit right in. Have a seat. Make yourself at home.
... Now, what was your question?

I couldn't have become a teacher, either . Not for my nerves. It's so embarrassing and annoying how low the "homework treshold" is nowadays. The kids come right over here to be spoon fed without reading the manuals or anything. And when you mention a feature they don't know, they're back in a second asking "where is it, how do you use it??" instead of searching the Help files. And when you give them basic advice that is straight from about the first page of the Manual, they go " Wow...You're the man! Excellent advice! Would've never sorted it out myself!".
 
Unfortunately, there obviously are quite a few basic things that confuse folks because they don't work as expected, or they're so different from the earlier versions. But that's another story.
 
Actually, I should shut up. I've had such a long break in DAWing due to moving house, that when I eventually get something started, I may be in need of basic advice again

Ooops! I see we're right back where we started, aren't we?!

Welcome to the Coffee House.  Most of us here are refugees from the Upstairs Apocalypse.  It's a lot like the Zombie Apocalypse, but without the good times.  We have a lot of experience in dealing with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stupidity Disorder), so feel free to relax and be yourself.  Of course, you can be someone else if you prefer.  We're okay with that, too.  
 
If nothing else, spending a little time with us will make you feel very good about yourself by comparison.  Spend too much time, and you may feel a compulsion to have your brain scraped.  That's okay.  In time, the sensation will grow dull enough that you can enjoy the FSF.  Well, "enjoy" might be taking it too far.  I should have said that you can tolerate it while drooling and twitching spasmodically.
 
Okay, some of us did that before Bapu started the FSF.  See, don't you feel better about yourself already?

Aren't we all capable of dumb questions?  See - I just asked one!
 
 
I think everyone is entitled to ask dumb and foolish questions at least once in their life.  What really bugs me is when others ridicule them for doing so.
 
So there.
