Members djwayne Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 You know the book "Making Music With Sonar Home Studio"......any idea when it'll be released ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Actually, it's done! I got the proofs about two weeks ago, it's all laid out and is either on the way to the printer or at the printer. Don't know how long it takes to "fill the pipeline" after that, but it should be out before too long. It ended up being almost 400 pages (!) and I have to say I'm quite proud of it, I think you'll find lots of useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djwayne Posted February 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Sounds great, it'll be a nice addition to my book collection !! Wow, 400 pages !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djwayne Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I pre-ordered the book yesterday from Amazon. I'm really looking forward to getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'll probably get my copy for free, being a close personal friend of Craig Anderton I'm also a compulsive liar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members djwayne Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ah . . . so that means the program will become obsolete in about another two months? Probably, but I'm planning on keeping Sonar Home Studio 7 XL for a long time. I really like it, it has all the features I need, and it is easy to use. So getting all the information and training tips is important to me. This book will also work as a good reference book, to look up any problems or speed tips in the future. Reference books are cool.

Members Anderton Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ah . . . so that means the program will become obsolete in about another two months? Actually, from what I understand (I could be wrong) the next major update isn't scheduled until early 2011, so I have a window of about nine months for the book to sell. But also, Sonar Home Studio isn't going away. If I can get an early beta of the next update, I'll be able to update the book for the next rev. Being very familiar with Sonar itself, and with Home Studio being a subset, updating shouldn't be too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djwayne Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yes, Sonar Home Studio 7 XL is a very, very good program and very affordable too. So no, it's not going away any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, sure. I was just givingyou a hard time since you made that comment in the "bites the dust" thread about publishers not wanting to publish books about specific products because they go out of date so quickly. I'm still selling a few copies a month of The Last Mackie Hard Disk Recorder Manual even though the Mackie recorders have been out of production for more than five years. But I guess that as long as there's eBay, there will be people buying these things for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members djwayne Posted March 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 No I haven't reviewed it for Amazon yet, but I will. I have given a quick early review on on the Sonar Home Studio message board at Cakewalk. I've been reading it last night and today, and re-learning the whole program from scratch. This book is a fantasic guide thru the program. Lot's of detail. I'm learning a lot from this book already. Thanks a million for writing it !!
