If anyone is at all interested in a professionally done tutorial on CakeWalk Sonar from a blind person's perspective, please reply to Jason at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Whether or not he moves forward with the project will depend on how much interest he sees. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jason Dasent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 1:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [midi-mag] Would you guys be interested in the following? Hey Guys and Girls. I have been running my studio for several years now. And, every year, it grows in amount of work and popularity. As you all know, I am visually impaired, but in spite of this, I have been perfecting my production and engineering skills over the years. As a result of this, I now have, without meaning to blow my own trumpet, some very professional sounding mixes on both radio and television here in Trinidad where I live as well as abroad. My work includes every thing from Jingles including 1 that I won a media award for, to complete cd productions for local and foreign artists, to documentary music beds and voice overs. I also won with a client a media award for a Christmas song in 2005. Like most of you on this list, I use Sonar as my work platform, and over the years, I have been able to learn it pretty well to the point that I can make it do pretty much every thing I want from start to finish of a production. After monitoring the threads on this list for the last year or more, I am thinking of producing an audio cd tutorial on mixing a song from start to finish in sonar. I plan to make the tutorial very visually impaired friendly by having Jaws verbalize every thing that I am doing as I mix the song. I will be using J Sonar as my screen reader interface to sonar. I plan to cover topics like, balancing the elements of the mix, instruments and vocals, dynamics, compression limiting etc, Eq for all the elements of the song, including using hypass filters, shelving filters, and parametric filters. Using effects such as reverb and delay, calculating delay times, predelay, filtering frequencies of effects etc. I will also cover such things as using sub groups for background vocals, de essing etc. Also, I will touch on some basic mastering, although, I think that mastering should be left to a mastering engineer. I think the tutorial will be about 2 hours long, and will be delivered on 2 audio cd's. I plan to offer it both on audio cd as well as downloadable 192 bit mp3 format. I will be mixing a contemporary gospel song by a new and upcoming artist Carla Davidson who is just about to release her daybew album. I am thinking of selling the tutorial for $55 US, and if there is enough interest, I can have it ready by the end of March. Please let me know if you would be interested in purchasing such a tutorial. Regards.
