If you enjoy the monthly DAW workshop articles that appear in Sound On Sound magazine, then you’re in for a treat, because we’ve just launched our first ‘bookazine’, DAW Power User. The first in a new series of SOS Smart Guides, DAW Power User covers all the major DAWs, including Cubase, Digital Performer, Live, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Reason and Sonar. Each of these gets at least 15 pages of dedicated coverage designed to help you get the most out of your chosen platform.
In addition to the DAW-specific workshops, there are also articles covering general methods and techniques, including computer maintenance and working habits. Even some of the less widely used DAWs (including SADiE, Acoustica Mixcraft and FL Studio) get introductory articles, for the benefit of those who may not know so much about them.
What’s more, when you buy copy of DAW Power User, you’ll also get access to a range of Berklee Music Online tutorial videos, to help further your knowledge of your favourite DAW.
The UK edition of DAW Power User costs £7.99, and is already on sale now at most major newsagents, as well as direct from the SOS online shop.
UPDATE: the US edition of DAW Power User is now available from our online shop at a cost of $11.99 USD (only $9.99 USD if you are a subscriber).
