SONAR 5 Power! digs deep down into the new features of SONAR and shows readers how to conquer each one through step-by-step examples and exercises that are designed to make composing and recording sessions run more smoothly. Readers learn major features such as editing and playing music, and then delve into lesser-known aspects of the software such as audio mixing and automation, creating sheet music, composing with loops, DX (software synthesis) instruments, and producing music for the web.
Written for intermediate users with some discussion on advanced topics, this book includes thorough explanation and examples, walking readers through each application of the software. Rather than just describing the features of the program and how they work, the book digs deep down into the software and the how and why behind it all. From initially customizing SONAR 5 to creating and producing a surround sound mix, SONAR 5 Power! explores all that SONAR has to offer.
