Uh, did you guys buy CakeTalking for Sonar like I did? I'm no sound
engineer, but the fact that absolutely everything talks, not to
mention the step-by-step tutorials, certainly lessened the burden
of learning the basics of a new program. The interface is clunky
to your sighted friend... so what? Why even compare that to the
scripted JFW view of the program?
Not looking to argue, just sharing my experiences which ahve been
overwhelmingly positive.

tephan y one other thing. My friend who is a sound guy hates sonar and thinks it is the stupidest interface. Stuff that is intuitive in other programs makes no sense to him in sonar. That made me feel better that at least the guy who does this for a living thinks sonar is a beast of a program. anyway good luck and a lot of screaming and hitting things for you to come. :)

Hi,
Have to agree with you there! It's hard, and the manual is dry reading. Not only that, but I never learned Windows thoroughly or correctly. I'm a concert pianist, piano teacher and composer, not a professional sound engineer!
I got Sibelius and Sibelius Speaking at the same time. The manual for that is much easier. What do you do with music? Just curious and very relieved to find someone else on this list who's a beginner with the guts to say so. (I mean, just looking at the subject lines of the messages gets me confused. Are they in English or what?)

Hi,
I'm new to this list, new to CT and SONAR, and I can agree that starting out is really hard! But I figure there are about fifty lessons in the CT manual. If I do one a week, maybe in a year I'll have a clue!
