Sonar X2 Power! by Scott Garrigus

Scott, have you been using Sonar X2 and writing the new comprehensive guide for it? If so, when will it be available? If my recollection serves me right, Sonar X1 Power! was released 3 months after X1 was released. Also, will you cover the extra modules like the Concrete Limiter and the PC2A T-Type Amplifier? Can't wait to read your new book and hope it will also be available in a Kindle edition.

Usually Scott magically appears about now, but I assume he's in purdah at the moment until X2 is released!

I've always found Scott's Sonar Power books essential and will be placing my order as soon as it's announced.  

no fly fishing yet ? .. 3 years is it now ? ;-)

Don't get in a hurry...I just ordered Sonar X1 power this week! If timing is everything, I'm in for a rough life.

I'm looking forward to it! I plan on staying with X1 for awhile anyway. I only got it a few months ago and it does far more than I will ever use now. I had a chance to look at your book last week at Guitar Center, and it looked like a no brainer must have book. I ordered it from Amazon. Thanks

Hahaha! Gob rules! Best show ever. Hopefully the new stuff will be out soon.

I'm accumulating quite a collection of these now Scott. I guess I'll find room to squeeze one more in!

Scott, how good is X2 compared to X1?






(putting him on the spot...)

What's the story on the Kindle version of the book going away?  Its not a  big deal because I have the print version but I went to buy the Kindle version yesterday and it was not available any longer.

I really dunno anything about digital formats like Kindle and the like. Could you explain some more about them formats. 

Illustrations are easily readable on the desktop nook application... ( I am using a 21.4 inch screen though ).  My favorite thing about e-books..

1.  They never get lost, damaged, worn out, or other losses.
2.  Accessible in your library, anywhere in the world.
3.  Search, using the speed of a computer for anything you have bookmarked, highlighted, annotated.  Even search for phases, and topics you have not bookmarked, highlighted, and annotated.

When you are vacationing at the beach, and enjoying an ice cold Pina Colada, and are reading your favorite author...  than a nice paperback is probably the way to go.....  :-)

For a reference guide to your audio software..  the e-book benefits are hard to beat imo...

What are the chances that Sonar X2 Power book can be made available in spiral bound?  There are some very nice ways to do this now.

Much easier that way to go from the book to the screen and back again.

Hi Chuck and J,

I can certainly ask the publisher about it and let them know that there was a request for spiral bound, but I'm 99% sure it won't happen. Publishers who are selling books to consumers want people to be able to see the book title on the spine when those books are sitting on the bookstore shelves. Textbooks and course ware for school don't matter as much because students are forced to purchase specific titles, so the publishers don't have to worry as much about promotion.

There could also be additional costs involved, which would also make a big difference to the publisher. So, I'll definitely ask, but it probably won't happen. Sorry...

Thanks!
Scott

Are the e-formats readable on an iPad?

There is a spiral binding type that has a spine/cover that covers the spiral part.

Not sure what the cost would be but I personally am willing to pay an additional $5-$10 more for that convenience.

Couple of examples here:
