Yes, I know this issue is very focused on Cakewalk SONAR X1, but don't worry! DigiFreq does NOT just cover Cakewalk. We have plenty of other info in this issue and we'll be covering plenty of other brands in future issues as well. We've got FL Studio, Pro Tools, Studio One, Samplitude and more in our studio with plenty of pro audio / home recording articles and videos coming soon. So stay tuned and in the meantime...This free edition of the SONAR X1 Power! Tips and Techniques PDF by Scott R. Garrigus provides step-by-step information about performing various music editing tasks with Cakewalk SONAR X1 that all X1 musicians can use.
Techniques in the free PDF include:

Pro Sound News Interview with SONAR X1 Tips
Pro Sound News recently did an interview with me and of course, SONAR X1 was the main topic of discussion. The interview includes some info and tips that I thought you might find interesting, so I figured I would pass it along."Cakewalk's SONAR X1, a digital audio workstation with music creation tools, is a comprehensive piece of software—just ask Scott Garrigus. Since 2000, he’s written a string of popular books on Cakewalk’s software, the latest being SONAR X1 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide, available in paperback and Kindle formats. We sat down with the busy author to find out how the books came to be, what some of his favorite tips for SONAR X1 are and more."
