WHAT READERS SAY...
"I just got your Sonar 5 Power book and have started reading it. It is the best work you have done of all that I have seen. I also really like the free interactive CD video tutorial that came with the book. I know that with Sonar 5 and your book, I am going to have a winning combination for my future musical progress. I am really 'gung-ho' about studying your new book and going as far as I can with it. Thanks for all the helpful advice and your patience with me and all my questions I have had for you over the years." - Jeff Schultz

Scott's Notes - Sonar 5 Power!

Sonar 5 Power is here! I know many of you have been waiting for it. The book is currently available via my site for an introductory price of 34% off. Is that a great deal or what? :-)

So what does the book cover? Here's a short description...

Get the most out of SONAR 5 with the definitive guidebook. SONAR 5 Power! picks up where the manual leaves off, teaching you how to dig deep into the program with step-by-step examples and exercises. From initially customizing SONAR 5 to creating and producing a surround sound mix, you'll learn everything you need to know to make your composing and recording sessions run more smoothly. Learn about MIDI and audio effects and how to use them in offline and real-time situations. Explore mixing music via software and discover how much control you can have when you're using an on-screen software mixer. Take a look at the advanced features of SONAR 5, including StudioWare, Sysx, and CAL. Wrap things up as you learn how to prepare your completed SONAR project and burn it to a CD.

New topics covered include: Roland GrooveSynth; MIDI Effects Enhancements; Enhanced MIDI Sequencing; Advanced Step Recording; Clip-Based Effects and Editing; Track Presets and Icons; Automation Enhancements; Track Layer Enhancements; Grouping Enhancements; Multiple Editing Enhancements; V-Vocal Vocal Processor; RXP Rex Player; PSYN II Soft Synth; Pentagon Soft Synth; and more.

And guess what? There's a special surprise in this edition... it
includes a Free Sonar 5 CSi LE CD-ROM with 1 hour of video
tutorials!

PROMOTE YOUR MUSIC
DigiFreq will soon be launching a new service that will help you promote your music to the masses. If you have music available for sale through CD Baby, Amazon.com, and/or iTunes, we will list it on the DigiFreq site. And yes, this new service will be free. :-) We should have a submission form ready to announce in the next issue and then hopefully have the full service up and running for the issue after that. I'll keep you informed.

Thanks for your support! Enjoy the issue...
