Yes, Brian, I do have those recordings, and I have been going over them, to
see what you said about starting a new project, to see if I am forgetting to
do something. So, far I  can't can't find anything that I am not doing. 
Doug. P.S. I don't know how I would get my DAW to go on line, I don't have a
long enough cord to go from the Quest modem. But, I wonder if you sit, with
me on the phone, and listen to what my jaws says, that you might be able to
check out some of the possible problems. 
Doug.

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.
