Good for Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 Users as well!

This is a good book for Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 (and XL) users as well, because Home Studio 2004 is basically the same as Sonar 2 with a few missing features that Home Studio 2004.I did a comparison of it to my recently acquired 2004 XL upgrade and other than the synchronization function, a couple of UI changes (Snap to Grid button changed locations), and a few effects that Home Studio XL doesn't give you, everything works identical to the Sonar 2 version in the book.I haven't read the Cakewalk Power Book, but I did notice it looked thinner on the shelves than Sonar 2, and chose to buy Sonar 2 because I thought it was more comprehensive. I've been very happy about the purchase and what I've learned about Home Recording.

A must for any Sonar user!

Sonar 2 Power! is an excellent book. It is, by far, the best book available on Sonar, and a must have for anyone who uses Sonar. I have found it was great for intitially getting up to speed on the software. And now that I know the software much better, it is still full of tons of helpful information. Sonar 2 Power! lets you quickly dive right into those features you are interested in. Best of all, the author, Scott Garrigus, is able to make learning quick and enjoyable. It is clear that Scott has a great deal of enthusiasm for making music using his computer and Sonar; he does a very good job of getting this enthusiasm across, which makes the book all the more enjoyable to read. The author has a Website...for his readers.

the best Sonar book

Scott is the reigning Sonar guru, and this book is a great value for the price. There's plenty of content, and it's all clear, concise and useful. Sonar's help system and manual are already good, but a little dry ... so Scott adds value by clarifying some issues, and by offering a different, user-friendly perspective. To Scott's credit, he does far more than simply regurgitate Sonar's help system.

A Must-have for Sonar 2 Users

Indispensible guide to get the most out of Sonar 2. I have definitely improved the quality of my Sonar output as a result of this book.

Computer music

I make music on my computer and find Scott's books help cut to the chase when it comes to learning the ins and outs of using software. Sonar or SoundForge he steps you through the process with tips along the way to guide you.
