How To Use Cakewalk by Bandlab - Audio Basics

[@mickeyphillips555]

I started out with an Interface DAW combo called Vstudio 20 with Guitar tracks 4 designed by Roland and Cakewalk with BOSS effects . It was what Sonar was before it became Sonar . I paid and upgraded with each DAW since 2010 until it was eventually bought out by Bandlab and offered for free . I still use the same interface to this day and even still use the original Guitar Tracks 4 DAW that came with it specifically for recording through a DI box. I'm very happy with what Cakewalk has become and I love that I was able to grow with each step . These videos have been helping me immensely, thank you for these!!!!

Excellent speaker and presentations. An excellent teacher/professor is able to take complicated, technically professional concepts and explain to them so that a layperson can understand. Albert Einstein theorized and explained E = MC squared quite well and most people (90-95%) of the world population cannot do the math, including myself. However, we do understand the concept. Well, you are able to do just that with your knowledge, ability, and talent. -Thank you!

[@markhill6661]

Great video, really helpful

[@OnlineMD]

Hi Mike and fellow Saucers! How about a Cakewalk Video on "Tips and Tricks?" It would be so valuable! For instance, after a couple of YEARS of struggling with LOW VOLUME ON EXPORTED MP3s from Cakewalk, I figured out how to fix that: I just click on a track, and then go to the top menu, where you have File, Edit, Inset, Process, Project, and a couple of others. Click on PROCESS>>APPLY EFFECT>>NORMALIZE. I realize now that by the WIDTH of the audio waveform, I can guess if the export MP3 (or any other file) is going to be adequate. The waveform needs to occupy around half or maybe two-thirds of the track. That's it! By the way, all I ever do with Cakewalk is to record karaoke/covers that I do at home. I use an EVO 8 for this: one microphone in input 1, then take audio out from my cellphone or Tablet into inputs 3&4. (Stereo 1/8 inch out to a split 1/4 inch cable/jacks). Other Audio interfaces like the Motu M4 have what are LINE LEVEL inputs which WILL NOT accept signals from cell phones. The EVO 8 puts out FOUR USB TRACKS which is awesome. Even the very latest Yamaha AG06 Mk2 Interface only sends out TWO USB channels/tracks.

[@GPM80]

Great video yet again mate

[@cskaplan]

I am another newbie doing a deep dive into Cakewalk. I still can't believe that this richly appointed DAW is free.. as well as your excellent tutorials. I am most happy to contribute to your tip jar. Your series is just what I needed. I tried out four DAWs before settling on Cakewalk. I was going to settle on Cubase LE, but I quickly learned that some major features around MIDI were missing, as well as decent plugins; the limited few they included are really crap (IMHO). Also, Cubase seemed to be more focused on loops and club music. To be fair this is a newbie opinion and I am sure the full version is great. I do have a question; where do you have your ear-phones connected in the flow? Mine are in the USB audio interface. when I set up my piano as a USB MIDI controller directly to the PC and recorded drums as in your previous video, when I went back to do sound-on-sound to add the hats and symbols the timing was way off. Quantize just made it worse. Lastly, as a guitar player I am very interested in editing my guitar tracks to "fix" mistakes. you touch on this a bit in this video, but perhaps you could go a bit deeper? Best, Steve.

[@CreativeSauce]

Hi Steve - thanks I much for watching. I usually just use the headphone output on my interface, but I also have a headphone mixer for when I'm working with others. If your drum beats are way off on input, you may want to lower the buffer settings for you interface. Its hard for me to give specific instructions, as its different for each interface. If quantize isn't working well, you probably have the wrong settings. If the notes are further than they should be , you'll need to increase resolution. Use the 'Audition' button to see if its better. Certainly I will do a video on some more audio editing :) I hope that helps!

[@deborahhollis7653]

Hi, I really love your videos. One question is do you have tutorials on keyboard in cakewalk? I followed your other video on how to set up keyboard using audio interface. I want to know how I can add a different keyboard sound after recording the track? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@fredimachadonet]

About audio interfaces, the BEHRINGER UM2 appears to be pretty good for its price. It's cheaper than the Steinbert UR12.

Really appreciate this from-the-ground-up approach, thanks! I find when I click on the Preferences > Playback and Recording and choose the ASIO that you recommend, I get "This driver is known to be incompatible with Cakewalk" and they suggest "a compatible ASIO or WASAPI Windows Driver." It then asks if i would like to switch to WASAPI. Is this recommended or should i look for another ASIO? Thanks so much! Also, i may not have picked it up, but being a total newbie, it would be nice to see the chronological order for all the episodes so i know which one is next.

Late to the party, thank you for this video. I am getting started in the whole home studio journey. I have a Boss Katana Artist Mk II with a strat.

There are no other instruments/musicians recording at the same time.

Hey Paul! Thanks for watching my videos! Yes, in fact although I added the effects, they are not recorded. Only the dry guitar is recorded, and the effect is added in real time each time we play back. So you can always change the sound at a later point, without re-recording!

Question, Mike! I'm a subscriber! 😄 Can I play a KZbin karaoke video on the same computer that Cakewalk is running on, and make a track for that sound source namely KZbin? Or for that matter, Windows Media Player? I just thought of this today. Your channel is superb! March 2021; no answers to the above. Ah, well. I figured it out. I set the computer audio out to loopback into the interface. Then, if I play an audio file or a KZbin video, the sound is clearly audible on a headset or speaker. And can record on a track, as long as I create an audio track and set the incoming audio to the same loopback that the computer itself is set to.

[@OnlineMD]

Great intro on recording audio! Love Cakewalk! I've stopped using Audacity! But one thing very nice about Audacity is the noise reduction. You allow maybe 10 seconds to go before recording, then select a 5 second clip, then allow it to get a feel of background noise and remove it. No such feature in Cakewalk that I have found. Anyone know? And oh, adjusting the volume of the tracks is far easier and more accurate without distortion in Cakewalk.

[@EthanPhangcho]

Noise reduction in audacity makes your audio kinda damp, not bright. But if you can mix a bit well, noise levels are sorta toned down.

[@OnlineMD]

David is correct, without the specifics it's hard to tell. However, I'm guessing that sample rate may be an issue. I would find out what sample rate you mic records at (likely to be 44.1 kHz), and then make sure your cakewalk project matches that.

Heya, I haven't had any issues and I'm on the latest firmware. However I don't use it with a hub. I did use with a hub at first, and had lots of issues, so I never went back. The only thing I use is a USB 3 extension cable. I would definitely try without the hub!

How many audio channels can you record live

[@danitzagalvan4374]

My recorded tracks from a cakewalk project suddenly jumped forward in the timeline not sure how. I can't go back to start because the tracks are not there but further ahead in the timeline. Also the feature that normally marks the start again to the marked place last stopped appears disabled. When I stop it does not go back to it. It must be easy enough to fix but I am just learning to record digitally with this product. Can someone help?

So if I wanted to play my bass and record it through an audio interface and use a midi keyboard controller to play my favorite VST piano I should be able to do it with no problem right?

In short - yes!
