Hi Doug.

Do you still have the complete recordings that I made from all 5 days of 
training? If so, listen to the early part of day 2, when we discuss the general 
organization of Sonar in some greater depth. We briefly touch on the bus pane. 
Also listen to day 4, when we discussed mixing in depth. Remember when you 
placed effects on to buses, such as reverb? The master bus is also where we 
metered the level of the entire project, as well as added a compressor to help 
level out the entire mix.

I realize that was a challenging week. Typically, I structure the training to 
follow a few cycles through creating demo projects, starting with creating a 
very simple project in order to touch on concepts, progressing to using 
different synths and effects, and advancing to increasingly complex projects as 
time permits. I wish that we had time to go through a few project cycles. In 
your case, we were only able to make one cycle through a simple project that 
incorporated a lot of features, since I also had to help you learn procedures 
for using your mobile DAW, including its Onyx 1620I, for live recording, as 
well as the essentials for operating the ProjectMix. It was unquestionably a 
huge amount of material to take in. That's why we recorded all of it, since, 
with the extensively involved list of training goals, and the short amount of 
time for covering it, there was only time to carefully explain, demonstrate, 
and have you demonstrate the work/repeat explanations back to me. A shorter 
list of goals, or a longer training period, would have permitted drilling on 
concepts. Hopefully, you still have the recordings, so that you can revisit my 
detailed explanations.

I've found that, when I'm learning something new, particularly when it is 
written, I miss a lot on my first pass. After reading the tutorial, you might 
find that listening to me explain concepts again will result in concepts 
clicking together that didn't click before. After that, reading through parts 
of the tutorial again, with your new understanding, will result in you picking 
up on concepts that slipped by you in the previous read.

Anyway, I think that we need to setup a time when I can connect to you over 
Tandem to troubleshoot this immediate issue. I'll follow-up with you about 
those arrangements off-list.

Bryan

Thank you Cris. I had a week of hands on training with Bryan Smart, but I have 
found the tutorials to over whelming. I don't know what they are talking about. 
I don't know what a bus pain would be by name. I recorded with stand alone 
equipment for thirty five years. Everything in the computer realm has names I 
haven't heard of. Is there a place where I could learn what the terms mean? 
Like scrubbing I finally found out what that means.
Though I did it for years, with my analog tape deck. We never called it 
scrubbing. 
Thanks Doug.

Doug, have you worked through the first few lessons in the CakeTalking tutorial?
For example, Lesson 7 covers the track columns specific to audio, and the bus 
pane.
