Being that the Step Sequencer involves so many other features in SONAR, things quickly ballooned and the video grew to unexpected proportions.<\/p>\n<p>Screen capturing, editing, and doing voice over for that amount of material was a monumental task, though I didn\u2019t realize it would be as such when I started. Thankfully the video turned out well and has received a warm reception from viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Really, though, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We\u2019ve created three categories of SONAR-based videos that we plan to enhance our library with.<\/p>\n<p>* SONAR: Get Started \u2013 an introductory, basic overview of a feature, group of features, or plugin<br \/>\n* SONAR: Go Deeper \u2013 an in-depth, hands-on demonstration of a specific feature or plugin<br \/>\n* SONAR: Master Class \u2013 a comprehensive tutorial of a group of related features within a larger workflow<\/p>\n<p>For example, for those who want to learn about the very basics of the PX-64 Percussion Strip plugin but don\u2019t want to sit through an entire Master Class, I\u2019ve created a Get Started: PX-64 Percussion Strip video.<\/p>\n<p><object style=\"height: 600px; width: 349px;\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dhJ3Heu9Doc?version=3\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed style=\"height: 600px; width: 349px;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dhJ3Heu9Doc?version=3\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s so much more to come.<\/p>\n<p>Next week we\u2019ll release Go Deeper videos on PX-64 Percussion Strip and Drum Replacement with AudioSnap 2.0, and we have a laundry list of topics to cover in the coming weeks and months.
