You're videos are the most helpful I've found for beginners. Thank you! Also for my 2015 laptop the only driver setup I can use is MME 32 bit. It was very confusing to figure out what was going on until I found a forum about it. So for anyone else who can't see your devices on an older computer you might want to try MME driver mode.

Thanks so very much Dan for your invaluable help !! You’ve really helped me get up and running in one weekend !! Last Thursday a Tascam Model 12 arrived and I had to do a ‘Crash Course’ in how to use it and how to test its various features. One feature is that it is a ‘USB Interface’, which functions very much like your Focusrite. But I didn’t have a DAW installed in my Dell Laptop (PC) to test it out with. So then I came across your video, which inspired me to try out Cakewalk By BandLab, following your installation instructions. So now I had a second challenging ‘Crash Course’ to contend with in a single weekend !! Again you came to my rescue with this second Tutorial !! I was able to record some Drums, Rhodes Wurlitzer and a Cello in Cakewalk, to test whether the output signals would indeed turn up on the Tascam Model 12 Input Channels via USB. To my surprise and delight, it all worked out fine, with the Drums assigned to Tascam Channels 1&2, the Wurlitzer on Channels 3&4 and the Cello on 7&8. Very Cool !! But I didn’t hit the sack ‘til around 8 o’clock in the morning. No dinner last night .... ha ha !! Many Thanks again Dan !!

I like your presentation but what confuses me right now, I had hopes of (an maybe this is old school, analog roots coming out) if I want to record the output of the piano, the actual audio, I thought you would show that. I mean once I’m happy with the midi performance I just feel safer if I “set it” and make an audio track from it. I still am not sure if I can record with the ine track or have to route it through a synth and to an audio track eventually to record audio.

You can bounce your MIDI down to audio within Cakewalk or even freeze the track. There are a couple ways to go about it. That is for another tutorial though. 😋

@@evansinclair1999 Some interfaces don't allow you to share the driver between a DAW and your computer at the same time. Cakewalk has a work-around for this. Instead of selecting ASIO, select the option WASAPI Shared and then you can share the interface between your computer and Cakewalk. I still recommend having it set to ASIO if you are going to record though. If you are just messing and learning then it doesn't matter.

So my keyboard and my audio interface is setup, and the meter is going up whenever I press my keyboard, yet no sound comes out, what do I have to do to fix it

[@AudioSorcerer]

After you inserted the instrument track, did you go inside the plugin and pick a sound? Sometimes they don't default to anything. Also, make sure the instrument track's output is routed to your master output. Are you able to hear any other audio coming from Cakewalk? (Ex. Audio recorded on an audio track, an audio sample, etc.)

Random question. I'm using cakewalk with focusrite as well. When i plug in my bass i can only hear my playing in one ear off my headphones. How can i resolve that?

Hey Kyle, thanks for reaching out. I'm not extremely familiar with Kontakt, but my understanding is that it is a virtual instrument. That means it can only be used on a instrument track regarding your piano. You will record the MIDI notes from your piano and then that would trigger Kontakt to play the samples. If you recorded your piano as an audio track and tried to put Kontakt on, it wouldn't work. Let me know if that answered your question or if I didn't understand it correctly.

@@AudioSorcerer thanks for the quick response yeah that has answered my question kind of. My problem is when I try to record via the midi channel when it plays back the recording is extremely muffled and quiet. I don't know why but I have all my volume parameters set up high everything sounds perfect untill I play back my recording. This is why I thought it needed to be played via the audio channel. But thanks for the tip. If you have any idea why my midi play back is doing this please let me know thanks mate

[@anandkrishnanpm4513]

In the preferences, the outputs in the MIDI option doesn't show my earphone.. And because of that the output is played through my digital keyboard itself. How can i make it hear through my earphone? Please help.

[@AudioSorcerer]

What do you have for an audio interface?

[@anandkrishnanpm4513]

@@AudioSorcerer i directly connected my digital keyboard to my laptop using a USB-MIDI cable.

[@AudioSorcerer]

You need a separate audio interface to playback audio. You can use your computer's built-in audio card but it doesn't work well.

[@anandkrishnanpm4513]

@@AudioSorcerer well... At first i could hear the keys i press on the my dig. Keyboard through the earphone i plugged in. I dont know how,but later both the inputs and outputs were through the keyboard itself. I added a midi track, then selected the input as dig. Keyboard midi omni, then output as inbuilt sound hardware /earphone, which iam not able to do now.

when i record audio through my mic into cakewalk, it comes out sounding chipmunk-ish and sped up...but when i go on regular bandlab it doesnt do that?

[@AudioSorcerer]

Is it a USB mic? Make sure the Cakewalk session is set to record at the same sample rate as the mic. (ex: 44100, 48000, etc)

[@terrific2526]

yeah its usb, and i changed the sample rate to be identical, but that created a new problem lol my audio doesnt shrink and sound chipmunk-ish anymore, now it stays the same file size but just sounds robotic and unclear?

When I press playback and recording. It says driver mode MME or UWP only … What now ugh so frustrating. Is not recording my voice

[@AudioSorcerer]

Did you setup your audio interface within Cakewalk?

[@lithogenous2385]

why is it my playback master is only 'None'? and my mixing latency is not working

[@AudioSorcerer]

What are you using for an audio interface?

[@lithogenous2385]

@@AudioSorcerer cakewalk... I just simply followed your instruction but my options are not the same with u. is it normal that my audio mic is delayed when i open the echo?

[@AudioSorcerer]

If you have a delay you need to turn down your buffer size.

do you need an audio interface to work with cakewalk?

You don't but you will be limited to what you can do without one.

when i select ASIO its not picking up any of my audio drivers at all is this out of date ?

What audio interface do you have?

[@SwiftyGazz]

@@AudioSorcerer Just using my onboard sound interface on my motherboard, i have my speakers and headset connected i been playing around with this and the option to switch to these do not come up under ASIO but they do when i select MME or WASAPI

[@AudioSorcerer]

ASIO is only for ASIO supported interfaces so you wouldn't use that for your built-in sound card.

[@SwiftyGazz]

@@AudioSorcerer haha makes sense thanks buddy :)

[@metalgames2532]

It says "None" for playback timing master and record timing master

[@metalgames2532]

pls help

[@metalgames2532]

I have a dell laptop and run windows 7

[@AudioSorcerer]

It's technically not compatible with Windows 7. Also, you need an external audio interface. Using your computer's built-in sound card doesn't work well and sometimes not at all.

[@metalgames2532]

@@AudioSorcerer Makes sense, so i guess i should uninstall it.

Just a tip, say your name 'audio sorcerer' more slowly, so that we can hear it clearly and it will stick in the mind.

Hey, you didn't show how to open a session. I don't know how.

[@AudioSorcerer]

There's another video in my Cakewalk training playlist for that. It shows you how to create a session from scratch. 👍

[@Rapuk]

I can hear the vocals thru my mic, but then the vocals won't record, strange

[@AudioSorcerer]

It sounds like the I/O isn't setup right in Cakewalk or you just don't have the right input selected on the track you're trying to record to.

[@saveemuki005]

Bro this software is free or paid? Please tell me bro.

[@AudioSorcerer]

It should be in there. You can try WASPI Shared.
