SONAR 2 Power! Released
 August 16, 2002
Muska & Lipman Publishing has announced the latest edition in their Power! series, SONAR 2 Power! Like SONAR Power! before it, this book explores the latest in SONAR technology, a multi-track editing and mixing software package from Cakewalk, and helps an everyday user become a "power user."
SONAR 2 Power! is the first book on the market to deal exclusively with Cakewalk's newest version of music software, SONAR 2.0. With SONAR 2.0, professional or home-hobbyist musicians can perform a variety of different tasks including composing music, developing computer game music and sounds, producing CDs, creating audio for the Internet, and even scoring film and videos.
Scott R. Garrigus, author of the music software books Cakewalk Power! and Sound Forge Power! as well as SONAR Power!, goes beyond just explaining the features of SONAR 2.0 and gets to the nitty-gritty details of how to use it with step-by-step examples and exercises that lead to real success for its users. Among the book's topics are composing using MIDI, digital audio and sample loops; polishing music with advanced automation and professional audio effects; using drum maps and editing tools to easily create percussion parts; turning a computer into a power synthesizer with Dxi; and exporting music to all the popular audio formats for publication on CD or over the Internet.
Garrigus has a Web site (www.garrigus.com) that offers a free, monthly, music technology newsletter and chances to win free music software products every month. In addition, he contributes to a number of leading publications, including Electronic Musician, Future Music and Computer Music.
