How to create a song in Cakewalk by Bandlab

[@solowing6592]

This is what is called a proper tutorial,step by step and not in super charge mode by whoever is doing the video. Thank you.

[@IbandUK]

@solowing6592 Thanks 😍👍

[@charbelbouantoun5752]

You're absolutely right!

[@L1ghtOn3]

Thank you, simple enough to understand directions and also playing to show how each part works. I don't know how many videos I've watched with people just talking about what does what, without actually showing how it works and how you can do it also by playing some notes in real time to give a rough idea of how we would do it also! Thanks again for clear, simple instructions on how to use the most essential parts of Cakewalk for a complete beginner. 👍

[@imadeprama.s2113]

cakewalk TTS-1 isn't available on my plugins. Do you know why?

[@IbandUK]

@imadeprama.s2113 Click on Insert (at the top of the screen), click on Soft Synth on the popup menu, click on General Midi on the popup menu, then click on TTS-1. TTS-1 is a DX plugin, not a VST, so if you still can't find it, check the C:\program files\cakewalk\shared dxi folder and make sure the TTS-1.dll file is there.

[@Officialberu]

i do not ahve the general MIDI file, do you happen to know why?

[@IbandUK]

@Officialberu Unfortunately, bandlab has now removed the TTS1 virtual instrument from Cakewalk.

[@SbuMakh]

Apperently TTS1 is no longer used in latest CW version. Stuck here.

[@IbandUK]

@mwboy3897 What's the latest version? My version has been updated to 2024.02 (although it may be possible that because tts was already installed from an earlier version, that's why I still have it).

[@SbuMakh]

@@IbandUK i Downloaded today, latest version is 2024 April

[@SbuMakh]

@@IbandUK I think its the same one, feb update. Yeah, some people saying if you already had it, it will stay.

[@IbandUK]

@mwboy3897 Thanks, it looks like it was removed from the Feb update version then.

8:03 ngl soon as i heard that I thought we were about to hear the greatest television intro theme song of all time... Barney Miller

[@marcelloruggiero5197]

Can any of you tell me why I'm missing the tts-1 geneal midi voice

[@IbandUK]

@marcelloruggiero5197 Click on insert at the top of the screen, click on Soft synth on the popup menu, click on General Midi on the popup menu, click on cakewalk tts-1. If cakewalk tts-1 is not there, make sure tts-1.dll is in c:\windows\program files\cakewalk\shared dxi\tts-1

[@marcelloruggiero5197]

@@IbandUK no friend sorry the file is missing tried to install cakewalk again it's not there

[@IbandUK]

@marcelloruggiero5197 If you open the File Browser and double click on your C drive, you should be able to type tts into the search box near the top right of the File Browser window that should now say Search (C:), in case there is an install bug and it has been installed in the wrong directory.

[@IbandUK]

@marcelloruggiero5197 Scratch that... It appears it has been removed from the latest version of Cakewalk.

[@LBJ314]

Hi, Cakewalk Start Screen "New Project. When I click on New Project it is all blank.

[@IbandUK]

@LBJ314 If the start screen New Project page is blank, the project templates might be missing (C:\cakewalk content\cakewalk core\project templates\). Otherwise, check the about screen to confirm it is Activated, Legal and Version 2023.09 (click on Help, then click on About Cakewalk).

[@LBJ314]

@IbandUK thank A LOT. will do. You're a huge help.

[@LBJ314]

@IbandUK Yes, I do see all the templates there. Do I need to copy them somewhere? Also, in the About Cakewalk screen, it says Legal, version 2023-09 It says 29.9.0.75 is the latest version.

[@LBJ314]

B I N G O! I went to Preferences, Folder Locations, then changed Templates to the file path you gave me and badda-boom! Its all there in New Project. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@IbandUK]

@LBJ314 Ahh, I forgot to mention checking folder location in the preferences... I'm glad you fixed it now 😀👍

[@songsofpraise8361]

Thank you

[@IbandUK]

@songsofpraise8361 😀👍

[@MrChesemis]

Hey I dont have general Midi...

[@IbandUK]

@MrChesemis BandLab removed TTS-1 from the app download back in February, so there will be no General Midi folder for anyone who downloads cakewalk app now

[@qwrrty6363]

why is there no sound when i play the drum?
