Incredibly undestandable content that u got free with a free software 💙love from Nepal Asia

[@AudioSorcerer]

Thanks so much! 🤘🤘🤘

[@sikshredr]

I appreciate your vids, man.. I'm having difficulty adding plugins that somehow disappeared when I updated cakewalk. in program files, I didn't see the stienburg folder. I'm running a 64 bit system. I also couldn't find vst in program files. I have windows 10. focus rite 2i2 3rd gen

[@mlwsf]

How about lessons on consolidating Plug-in folders? And also moving the unused ones on to external drives in case you want to try them more later or decide to delete them all together. My plugins are out of hand and I only use about 25% of them and probably only 10 % on a regular basis.

[@AudioSorcerer]

I can do a separate tutorial on that. 👍

[@mlwsf]

@@AudioSorcerer that would be great. 😊 Thanks

[@edub9930]

Simple & easy. Perfect 👌 much appreciated!

[@AudioSorcerer]

No problem! 🤘🤘🤘

This info is just what I needed. Thanks for saving the day. I'll check in later for more content. Thanks. Subscribing.

On a related topic. A lot of newbies might appreciate a tutorial on how to use the plugin manager utility, e.g., how to set up scan paths for plugins, how to create, organize and save plugin menus, Also, VST and VST2 plugins can be placed anywhere convenient on a system, e.g., a second hard drive, but VST3's are installed in a particular location on the root drive and cannot be moved elsewhere and still function.

[@AudioSorcerer]

I can look at doing that as a separate tutorial. 👍

[@garyshore489]

Great video man,glad I checked it out and wish I'd known about it a few months ago when I was trying to figure all this stuff out...hope it's part of the tutorials database over on Cakewalk Discuss as everybody should know about this so they won't have to try to figure everything out on their own;breaks everything down clearly/understandably and shows you exactly what you need to know about things...excellent!!

[@AudioSorcerer]

Thanks for checking out the video Gary and I did receive your email. It's been a crazy busy week so I haven't had a chance to respond yet.

[@garyshore489]

@@AudioSorcerer Hey Dan!!Good to see you did get a chance to look over the (admittedly somewhat long/detailed)email;absolutely no hurry to get back to me man;whenever you get a minute it'd be great to be able to get the benefit of your understanding of things...again have a bunch of other tutorials of yours I'm planning to get to soon so keep an eye out over here,I'm sure I'll be posting some Comments on those too...

[@LeonRavale]

Please help. I am new to Cakewalk. I had installed a vst to designated folder and have my Cakewalk scan it according to your video. The problem is, this new vst is added (it showed on notification) but I can't find it on the plugin layout manager.

[@Bigbof44]

Thanks for the video. Can you show how you add presets to your vst’s. Quite a few vst’s have factory presets that you have to load yourself e.g Sinnah. Can you show how you do this. Thanks

[@AudioSorcerer]

I certainly can! I will put it on my list. 👍

[@mlwsf]

To answer your question about why use VST2 when you have VST3 there have been instances where the VST3 was too unstable and I have had to reinstall the VST2 to mitigate the problems. It doesn't happen often but it has happened 😃

Can you do a review on the motu m tu interface

Question, is there any free sampling pluggin that i can use with cakewalk? Any info will be greatly appreciated

[@allenmuirhead]

I'm new to this but am loving Cakewalk so far. One thing that irks me is if I import midi (so as to look at an arrangement for example) then I have to associate each midi track with a simple instrument track and then with a VST. Is there a way to do this so I don't end up with tracks all over the place?

[@TurfWarz]

Great info bro

[@AudioSorcerer]

Thanks for checking it out! 👍

[@rgerwin.3378]

Thanks. Blessings.

[@AudioSorcerer]

No problem!

[@holmesgroove1]

Hi guys. Hoping for some help I try to add the folders where I have .dll files in, but they won't actually add. Aby ideas, please?

[@Patrick_studio-s7r]

I have many plugins installed in recognized folders, but when I scan Cakewalk doesn't add them.

[@zalmanraphooel]

can you also install plug ins to folders on an external hard drive

[@AudioSorcerer]

I believe so but I haven't tried it. You will just need to map the folder within Cakewalk

[@MrHhkrohn]

Thanx! Yesterday i installeer SSd5 drumkit and it's in my virtual instrument in cakewalk.. dragged it and when I play the kit the volume meter is doing something but no sound is coming... The other tracks do produce sound. Did I overlook something?

[@AudioSorcerer]

Did you load in a drum kit within the SSD5?

[@MrHhkrohn]

@@AudioSorcerer yeah I think so I guess. I clicked the icon and saw the kit in the interface... it also vibrates when clicking on it.. its the free version Ooh you mean load a drumkit within the interface? I will have a look again tonight

[@MrHhkrohn]

@@AudioSorcerer so, I loaded one of the drums and yeah iam getting sound now ..I had seperate tracks with the SI drums and I made seperate tracks for the ssd5 drums. Wanne copy page it to the ssd5, but it only does one track. The rest stayed the SI drums,,, any suggestions? Thank you!

[@x0va]

do plugins that come in folders work the same as dll ones? or do i need to put them in another folder/do some other stuff

[@AudioSorcerer]

I would follow the manufacturers instructions. You can try both ways if one way isn't initially working.

[@fpsFAMOUS]

Not sure why its not recognizing my microphone. Using Voicemeter Potato. So many different inputs, not sure which one to use..

[@AudioSorcerer]

Potato is confusing. I use it with Pro Tools to make my KZbin videos but I use it on a very low level. I haven't actually tried it in Cakewalk.

[@fpsFAMOUS]

@@AudioSorcerer ok thx. I'll fiddle with it some more.

[@hoanghoangie7557]

hi, i can only hear my plugins when i press record on my guitar playing, plus i cant hear the plugin from my amp either, can you help me with this solution?

[@AudioSorcerer]

Make sure you have the "input monitoring" button enabled on the track you want to hear. If that isn't enabled you won't hear any of the effects until you press the record button.

[@hoanghoangie7557]

@@AudioSorcerer will i hear the plugin from my headphones or my amp?

[@hoanghoangie7557]

@@AudioSorcerer because my amp only has a send and return plug and i dont know which one to plug into my audio interface so i plugged it in the 8ohms audio and thats the only thing i could hear my sound on

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

Do the 32 and 64 bit plugins sound different?

[@AudioSorcerer]

No, 64 bit plugins just run more efficiently.

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

@@AudioSorcerer Ok, that can't be my problem then. None of the plugins sound right on my Reaper-Been a problem for three years now.

Can you help please : I recently installed the arminator vst thinking it was the first version because I already have arminator 2 but it was the same and now I drag the plugin in the open space and he gives me "can not load vst, reference missing or something... Can you help please.?thanks

[@AudioSorcerer]

Delete the VST plugin from the Cakewalk folder, uninstall the entire plugin, and then reinstall it. 👍

[@snitztheholy5177]

Thanks so much!

[@AudioSorcerer]

You're welcome! 🤘🤘🤘

[@its_no0b673]

how do you do this with Emvoice One

[@AudioSorcerer]

I'm not familiar with Emvoice One, but it says it provides a VST version. When you install the software it will either put the VST plugin in the folder or you will manually have to do it. Hope that helps. 👍

[@marshall8400]

how to put antares autotune in cakewalk? And do I have to pay for any upcoming updates?

[@AudioSorcerer]

Antares is just a VST so it works like any other plugin. Updates to Antares or Cakewalk? I don't use Antares so I couldn't say and Cakewalk is free forever and so are it's updates.

So for those of us who aren't very computer savvy, how do you do the magic trick where your file explorer just appears from stage right?

[@AudioSorcerer]

The file explorer is pinned to your task bar. You don't have to be savvy to find it. lol
