I didn't know guitarists were using Sonar as well...

I still have Electronic Projects For Musicians sitting on my shelf! I used to read your Guitar Player columns religiously.  I remember building the Talk Box project as well as the Ring Modulator.  I've also been using Cakewalk products since the Guitar Studio days!  So, I'll certainly look into your book Craig! Big fan!

I copy/pasted the isbn # 9781435457683 into the Amazon advanced search and came up with: http://www.amazon.com/Guitarists-Guide-SONAR-Craig-Anderton/dp/1435457684/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321302138&sr=1-1
 
I am confused because in the book description it says this:
 
 
As more and more guitarists begin to use amp simulation software, it becomes increasingly important for them to have a tool that will help them to get the most out of it. That tool has arrived in the form of THE GUITARIST'S GUIDE TO SONAR. Designed for guitarists of varying levels of experience with music software, this book hones in on Cakewalk SONAR products. Using straightforward, easy-to-follow tutorials, the book will instruct guitarists on how they can use DAWs like SONAR, both live and in the studio. Coverage includes discussions of Sonar LE, Sonar Studio Edition, Sonar Producer Edition, Sonar Home Studio 7, and Sonar Home Studio 7XL. The content is concise yet thorough, making this a valuable resource for any guitarist who wants to use SONAR to strengthen their sound and recordings.
 
However, on the link you posted it references X1 and Effects chains 2.0
 
Are there different books? If there are I want to be sure I get the most current edition at the best price, which is why I looked at Amazon... to see if it was cheaper there. Someone might be upset if they buy something after reading this thread only to find it out of date. Perhaps I am just confused... well, no doubt, I am confused.
 
Thanks Craig. I'll probably want this but I still want the latest edition at the best price.

[sigh] The publisher sent out the wrong overview and chapter list copy, it was from when I first started working on the book. The various sites with the wrong info are supposedly being updated, but the link I posted has the correct info.

Awesome Craig. Thanks for putting this together. I do wish there was a kindle version though. Maybe I'll hold out for a while.

Your spam is my filet mignon Craig.

If this is considered spam, please feel free to delete but I thought some of you guitar players might want to know about this book. There's an overview and listing of chapters for more information.

I'd be happy to answer any questions people might have about it, what it covers, etc. 

It's kind of weird to have worked on projects for months or years and have them all hit at once, but at least they're finally hitting the world!

Craig,

Is there anything in your book about applying the bundled Sonar effects to electric acoustics (e.g.,  Ovations) using direct input?
From what I have seen of Guitar Rig (the one that comes with X1 Producer), it seems to be more geared toward electric guitars.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Just picked it up from Buy.com for $18.99! SCORE!

Good luck with the new book, Craig. I've read a large percentage of the millions of words you've written over the years, going back to Polyphony 30 years ago. Always practical, concise and written from the musician's perspective, I'm sure this one will be a winner.

$18.99, good price.
$22.79 at Amazon, free shipping on orders over $25.
Had some "points" to use and they always have something else I want.

Available for the NOOK for only $16.49! I'm getting a NOOK for the holidays so I'll have this book right after Christmas breakfast! What a great read it will be by the fire!  :oD
