What is the best phonk VST Plugin for cakewalk

[@curtisbrummitt5470]

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get Kontakt working for my music class for so long. You're the first channel I've seen that's actually told me how to do anything to solve it.

[@AudioTechTV]

In this video I show you how to add Free VST plugins to Cakewalk by Bandlab. If you are interested in other FREE DAWs please check out this video here ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXndq5ybhtuMn5I and let me know if you have any questions about Cakewalk. I am planning to do more Cakewalk Tutorials.

[@planetqwerty]

Thanks for the clear instructions. I'm a Cakewalk newbie (migrating from an ancient version of Samplitude Producer, which won't handle 64 bit plug-ins), and for the life of me I couldn't understand why I couldn't hear any sounds from my Kontakt plugin - which was visibly connected (level meters working when triggering from a midi keyboard). The problem was that I had - intuitively? - selected "insert MIDI track". Should have been "insert Soft Synth" - 3:15 I'd never considered my Kontakt samples to be "soft synths", but you live and learn.

[@abhinavsemwal1321]

I wanaa drag a sample from from kontact , reactor section there is a drum beat i like and i want it in my track I cant drag the audio I'm total newbie I hope u will understand wt I'm saying I wanaa drag that audio in the cakewalk plzzz tell me

[@liesl5313]

3:01 I clicked Program files but couldn't find anything named Steinberg. Does this prevent me from downloading and installing new plugins in the future?

[@AudioTechTV]

No. It just means you haven’t installed any to that folder yet. You don’t need that folder. You can install them all to any folder you want. The steinberg folder and vstplugins folder are the most popular default locations for plugins to install to.

[@NessenLofi]

I'm able to get my plugins into Cakewalk with no issue. But when I open the vst plugin windows on a track, no noise is being produced when I play from my midi keyboard. The green sound bar responds, but I don't hear the actual presets from the plugin. Is there away to fix this?

[@striverfor7628]

@@AudioTechTV Thanks. I've since learned that I can use my stage piano and synthesizer for MIDI because someone told me you can use a standard printer cable to connect them to the PC. My keyboards are compatible with this anyway. I don't have the other kind of MIDI cable. And I learned the alt-0 shortcut. But it's seeming my stage piano can't make the SynthMaster 2.9 make sound and I don't know why! Is that normal? It works with other things like the electric piano and strings ones. It would be cool if it could work with SynthMaster. I also find there's a slight sound delay when playing music into Cakewalk with my stage piano and I'm yet to get to the bottom of that. Also, my stage piano works for playing music into Cakewalk but my other keyboard doesn't and I don't know why yet.

Simple Green Tech alright I see, thank you

[@Mishellad]

Pls help! Should we register the synth? You skipped or x’d that dialogue box out.. Maybe that’s why mine isn’t working and I can’t find it in uncategorized.

[@AudioTechTV]

I downloaded mine from Pluginboutique and it says that no further authorization is required. Even if you needed to authorize, it should still show up. Make sure you have Cakewalk set to search the correct folder for the plugin. Sometimes the Program Files (X86) and Program Files can mess people up. You want Program files without the 86 as that's the 32 it folder. Hope you get it figured out.

Make sure you have downloaded "synth master player free" there are a couple other versions of this software that are paid versions. You may have downloaded a demo fro one of those.
