  1. There are MANY people writing on here saying--'What the hell is it all about' ie--not enough information for them. For those people, it has to be up in neon lights it seems.

    On the contrary - I think people who are too stupid to understand that message, *should* not buckle up, and get a nice big Darwin Award. :)

  2. Yeah, it's quite a spoiler - people with a scroll mouse should force themselves not to check the title, and scroll down one notch - it scrolls the title out-of-view effectively.

    :)

  3. Producer here too - older version, but I never fell for the yearly update spiel. If it aint broke etc. But I did get the more complete package, and if you aim for serious use at one point, you might as well dig a bit deeper and save on the inevitable upscale costs later - my hunch is that quite a few people regret not going for the full package right away :)

  4. I would just get started using only Sonar for a while, and record/mix/finalize with that. That should really keep you occupied for a while, and no real need for any external programs.

    It may even take you 6 months daily study, and by that time you would appreciate more what certain other programs like Reason or BiaB or external VST's can do that this basic package does not cover, or does not do as well as you *can* get it, depending on your budget.

    But trust me, 6 months of dedicated Sonar (only) use is maybe the best starting point, and should cover a lot of ground already.

  5. I chose Sonar as a cheaper alternative to Cubase (also because my first experience with the creator of Cubase was very disappointing when they *downgraded* a version I got for free with a soundcard I bought, at the first opportunity to 'upgrade' it.)

    This sort of covered my bases as a generic VST-loading program with some midi capability and multi-track engine.

    Then I got Reason because it will let me do things VST's normally won't (under the hood nitty-gritty) yet I can just plug it into Sonar, and has a truckload of tools and sounds pretty unique to Reason.

    Finally I got BiaB because it lets me do things with midi I can do nowhere else, plus a couple of other tricks that I would need very expensive software for, separately - some of which only became available much later - I don't use it like a lot of people do, like a background accompanying band-in-a-box, but more of a transposition engine.

    All in all, not a cheap combo - and you still have to get a couple of add-ons in the sense of high-grade VST's - but then again, buying the top version of Cubase alone, was more expensive than this combo, so sod that :)

  6. Well, to be honest a *decent* android tablet will set you back nearly as much as an iPad2, but with a bigger screen, flash and USB - and more of an open architecture.

    Now, it would seem to be only a matter of creating more music apps, if Android is not to go the same way as Linux, in that sense.

    There are a couple already, but I will go and check for more recent additions.

  7. Well done! :)

    Nice pacing, good timing of the FX, not overdone.

    Only small crits: you seem out of focus in some shots (at 3:54 for instance, focus should always be on the eyes)

    and in that part of the presentation you should not be obscured by the screens flying past - meaning you should be more to the side and the action taking place next to you - now it's just as if you are not really there/important - while you are the person talking.

    You could have considered hiring a 'professional' voice there for a voice-over, alternatively.
