Training for Cakewalk Sonar, Steinberg Cubase, Sony Acid Pro, and Sony Sound Forge
The Digital Music Doctor has released four pro audio interactive video courses
in digital distribution format. These courses, which cover Cakewalk Sonar 4,
Steinberg Cubase SX 3, Sony Acid Pro 5, and Sony Sound Forge 8, have previously
been available as CD-ROMs. The digital distribution versions of these courses
have the same content and audio-video quality as the CD-ROM versions.
Because of widespread availability of broadband Internet connections, it has
become feasible to offer these courses in a digital distribution format. The
courses are each packaged as two large files (100-200 megabytes) which require
10-20 minutes each to download with an Internet connection speed of at least
1.5 megabits per second. Each course contains approximately 2 hours of interactive
video instruction as well as examples of music and audio projects created using
the software that is being taught in the course. The video in these courses
uses the compression techniques of Macromedia Flash and the resulting file sizes
are typically about one-fifth that of other videos which use non-compressed
formats.
Additional information about these digital download courses is available at
the Digital Music Doctor web site, http://www.digitalmusicdoctor.com.
