anyone know of any text, video ,online classes..on the art?

Sorry not sure what you mean, are you talking about shooting video?

check out youtube for the specific software you have.. also I think you said you had sonar.

this may not be the best. I just googled sonar teaching vids..

I do like this one, it is not software specific but gives out free info, or you can sign up for the classes. if you wait you can get free song evaluations, and the master producers class for the price of the regular class 2for 1 price..
