5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome companion book...,
By J Aytch (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SONAR 5 Overdrive!: Expert Quick Tips (Paperback)
For those of you looking to get a little more horsepower from, or get some adavanced tips and tricks for Sonar 5 Producer and Studio. I currently own all three books in the series (Ignite!, Power!, and Overdrive!), and each one has its own set of merrits. Ignite is set to the beginner and lets face it, sometimes we forget even some common everyday tasks and it is good to have a quick reference guide to refresh our memories. Power is great for picking up in more of a tutorial format many of the features covered in the manual that accompanies the software, and Overdrive goes beyond that to help optimize the use of Sonar 5. You can never have too many references at hand. If you are serious about recording and productivity, having these volumes close at hand will save at having to seek out tech support and the long distance fees associated with it.

This review is from: SONAR 5 Overdrive!: Expert Quick Tips (Paperback)
This is my second Sonar Book, the first being Sonar 4 Power (the beginner series). I skipped over Sonar 5 Power since I already had most of the basics down and could pick up on any new changes in the Sonar 5 version pretty quickly. Overall, I found this book pretty helpful and like the Sonar Power series, easy to understand. It doesn't bother explaining control locations or definitions to you like the other series and gets right down to the nitty gritty. It goes more in depth on a few issues (creating better groove-clips, using v-vocal clips, customizing windows [even modifying the sonar ini file]), as well as lots of time-saving short-cuts. While it took me only one day to get through the 250 or so pages and I only really treasured a handful of tips, I definitely consider them worth the $25 the book retails for. Also makes a handy reference.

a lot of great tips,
This review is from: SONAR 5 Overdrive!: Expert Quick Tips (Paperback)
I work with Sonar for some years now. I was looking for some great tips on Sonar in several user forums. I don't have to anymore. They're all in this book! Well, a lot anyway. Not the obvious tips, like how to install Sonar, but really great things you always wanted to know (but where afraid to ask...). Love it!
