I have learned more from this guy in 5 sec, then I’ve learned in a whole day of just fiddling around in Cakewalk by myself 🤦🏾♀️😂 Thank you! 🙏🏽
Just started using Cakewalk.......you are a Godsend my friend! Thanks, and cheers mate!!
I'm a "veteran" but ALWAYS learn something new. Your tutorials are excellent! Many thank! By-the-way - I love the new studio!!!!!
Cheers. I learn something almost every day, even after decades! Thanks for watching:)
I wish I could hit the like button each time I watch this. You're a great teacher. Thanks.
I am a long time Cakewalk user (Guitar Studio>Guitar Tracks>Sonar>CbB). I have watched every video on Creative Sauce pertaining to CbB, and there is still SO MUCH TO LEARN. I love Mike's simplified approach to make you understand. I have used MIDI in other versions but continue to learn. A+++, Thank you for these videos. I even bought a tshirt as I love this content and wish to see more!
Hey Dave, you are very kind :) Hope to see you wearing that shirt, send me a picture!
I used to be a Cakewalk Sonar user up until it was shut down, I felt a bit angry as I had paid renewal of 2 years updates upfront, so I was not happy with their previous owners.
Since Bandlab resurrected the program, I have always had it installed on the computer but not used it, but that is about to change. This video and others are a very useful refresher course to help me back into those things I had forgotten.
14:34 Left-click-drag through the velocity bars. T for Tool pallet. Long press Edit button and select a tool.
15:11 Sustain pedal. Click '+' in bottom left.
15:41 Transform tool. Can change the velocity values uniformly.
16:35 Long press Transform > Soft Mode.
17:36 Long press Transform > Auto Focus
oh man, that Transform tool, I was dreaming about it's existence, and guess what - it was under my nose all the time ! thank you so much :)
Yup, its very handy! Thanks for watching :)
This video was extremely helpful as I'm doing more with virtual instruments. Thanks!
You make the Best Cakewalk Tutorials. Auto Lock in the Track Pane for the win. Thank you
Thank so much, it's my pleasure:)
i learn something new with you everyday
I love learning about how to use MIDI. I know I'm ALWAYS going to learn something I need to know whenever I am alerted that Creative Sauce has published a new Cakewalk by BandLab video.
Jim, its dedicated people like you, that inspire me to always make my best effort. Thank you so much as always, you are a very valued viewer :)
This video is gold! I cant believe all this stuff is possible with the midi. Iv'e been using cake walk for ages and 2 days ago I couldn't even figure out how to make the drums record lol (I always make the beat in other software then export as .wav into cakewalk) I figured out how to use the SI drumkit by watching Your other video. now I have been scratching my head about how to make the drum beat less robotic. This video gives a world of options that I never knew about! nice one
Thank you so much! Very useful even I have been using Cakewalk for over 20 years. Best regards!
I wish I would have known about your videos years ago. I'd be famous by now!! Great stuff!
What a inovative person you are.... Thank you, again.
You are very kind. Thank you :)
Your way of explaining is top teir man 👍
Hi Mike, I hope you've sorted out your PC issues. I made it to the end, but there were so many great tips, I need to watch it again, possibly a few times. Keep up the great work!
Nice tutorial. Thanks.
I didn't know jack about cakewalk actually, so you're my recent Lord and savior of cakewalk! You're awesome! I would be lost without you and give up entirely. I'm a vocalist and lyricist who can't read music nor play instruments, not a musician at all, just got an acoustic guitar, piano, bass and synth, as well as a moog to learn to play and get this song out already! So this is amazing! Keep up the great work! I've had a song stuck in my head just tormenting me for the past 6 years! I've told people about you on tiktok, so you should have some young kid fans on here following you real soon. God bless!
i'm a longtime pro user using a lot of MIDI, and guess what, i did learn a few things. Good on ya.
Awesome!!!
Excellent topic that is largely overlooked. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Dan, my pleasure:)
Best channel about Cakewalk ;)
I'm new to CbB, though having watched many of your videos I'm getting more familiar every day. This one, that I watched until the end, was very helpful as always.
I made it this far. There are many great shortcuts in Cakewalk. I use Ctrl + Page Up/Page Down often.
Ctrl +Page Down jumps to the next bar, Ctrl + Page Up to the previous bar. It's very handy while I'm editing.
Made it to the end and took great notes
Superb video tutorial. I can now utilize SI Drums so much better. Thanks again!!!! 🎶🎚🎸🎼
As a newbie to Cakewalk your tutorials are so useful. Clearly delivered and with loads of information. Thank you so much.
Really enjoined this tutorial Mike. I am new to DAWS and drum have baffleed me up to now. Also liked your inclusion of shortcut keys. Yes, I made it all the way to the end.
Cheers John, good luck on your journey, and have fun :)
Yes. I made it to the end. Always enjoy your insights. I've saved this one and will be referring to it a lot. Thanks Mike.
Have you been watching over my shoulder!? This video addressed a lot of issues I have come across lately since I started getting into cinematic/trailer composition! I can't thank you enough for addressing this!
Fantastic tutorial! I've been a Sonar user since 2XL and you taught me things I never knew. Brilliant!
Very helpful video on simplifying the workflow on Cakewalk - so many tools at hand that I overlooked for so long due to an "intuitive" approach. Thanks for this, Mike!
Hypnotized by the fans.
Of course I made it this far! This video was filled to the brim with exciting new information. All the key shortcuts, for example, and finally somebody explained the transform tool to me in an understandable way (I was already assuming Cakewalk wouldn't have the compress/expand function, other midi editors have). Thank you once again for a fantastic source of information, you've created. And if you consider to someday go into detail about setting up the workspace in a reliable way (some details always turn back to default, when I start Cakewalk, like track meters, or the right pane going back to docked to the right in the docker, not to the right of the window), you'll be loved in abundance!
Hey man just wanted to say that you are an absolute saint. I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and they've all been extremely helpful and easy to follow/understand.
Cheers and thanks a lot for making all of these tutorials for free!
If I made it through your complete Mix, Record, Release series last year, you can be damn sure I made it all the way through this one now. Thanks, Mike, more great stuff!
Wow! another great video. A lot of content there, I think I will have to watch it a few more times to get it all to sink in. Those short cuts are really useful and the track pane is a feature that has always been hidden on my set up, mainly because I wasn't aware it was there! I'm off to start working on some midi tracks! Thanks Mike.
Awesome Mike! Good luck :)
I discovered this channel no long ago and all Cakewalk videos are excellent.
You're the best cakewalk tutor on YT IMO, thanks heaps for your hard work👍
Mike, can't thank you enough for all your help. Also, I'm sorry to bring you and/or your viewers my problem, but I don't honestly know where else to find my solution. I've been struggling with this for months now. I can usually figure out midi stuff, it's not so complicated... BUT .. this one stumps me completely. Here's the short explanation of my problem. I record midi with my MOXF8 and it records perfectly.. HOWEVER, the playback is exactly a full measure late. it shows the note info happening at the right time, but the audio is a full measure late. obviously i can work around this, but its annoying as hell and .. i can't sleep at night cuz it's got my brain on a WTF-loop.. I hope you can help. I'll understand if you don't find the time to address this. I realize how popular you are, we all appreciate what you do for us . Thanks again my friend, I'm privileged to enjoy your lessons. You are awesome. Any advise would be so appreciated.
I think I found the answer. After trying almost all possibilities of echo-on/off, all the different time clock settings, I think i actually stumbled onto the right one for my system. Not sure how, and don't really care much, just glad it's working finally.. hahaha
You're a great teacher. You help me so much. Merci infiniment.
Your videos have been very helpful. Last year I got a laptop computer. And during this past Christmas season I bought a laptop performance keyboard.
I downloaded Cakewalk. And watching your videos have help me navigate my way through this music studio software.
I presently don't have any questions. You've done a good job explaining using MIDI.
I presently don't have a microphone. My apartment is small, so don't have a lot of space to put extra equipment.
Thank you for your help🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵
Thanks Mike! I've been using audio tracks for over 12 months but now just getting started with midi - thanks for the useful information - very easy to understand.
Great tip on the soft mode
Thanks for all your tutorials my guy, any new DAW can be very daunting so it's great you've saved us all many hours of frustration figuring this stuff out.
Why did I spend so much time clicking around and trying in Cakewalk instead of watching these 25 minutes and learning so much? 😅
Really a great guide, thanks a lot!
I made it to the end. Terrific lesson
Mike you really do a nice job of explaining. This is about where I am at in editing MIDI drums and other instruments. As a vet of graphics software from a previous career I can really appreciate how deep this software is. As a user of other DAWs, I am often surprised that Cakewalk by Bandlab is free :D
Thank you again, I know I'll be rewatching this for the finer points!
Cheers
Hello Mike, this kind of explanation is very nice to get to know Cakewalk better. I think you will please many people, including me! Thanks!
Thank you so much sir for the midi walkthrough. You've made life easy for me when using cakewalk.
Simplesmente mudou a minha vida. Eu morria de preguiça de escrever midi. Agora ficou foi divertido.
Obrigado!!
Good to see your systems back working!
this is a great help for me Creative Sauce. Thank you. I keep making my demos and covers through the tips and tuts you're sharing. God bless you more and more power.
Another informative and interesting video. Will need to watch again and again to digest it all. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thank you Mike! I'm a 62 year old with very little experience of digital recording and who only started making my own music back in March to occupy my time during lock down here in he UK. I have used your tutorials to familiarise myself with this DAW. While I had discovered some of the issues covered in this video myself; specifically creating expression curves for Spitfire Audios Discovery Orchestral Strings, I did not know about using the track pane. I had accidentally discovered having muiitple instruments viewed in the piano roll but didn't know how to lock to a specific instrument let alone be able to group them into specific views. That's gonna prove really handy. Although I prefer point and click menu driven choices I also appreciate the inclusion of shortcut keys where appropriate. I know there willl be others who use them extensively.
Thanks, Mike! Very informative, precise and concise!
Thank you Mike. Great tutorials!
Been using fl studio for close to a decade but thanks to you Mike I'm slowly switching to bandlab!
Many thanks bud!
Great to hear! Thank you :)
@Creative Sauce Also I did make it this far. I have 1 other question, do you have a video on the routing in band land especially with the kits?
Thank you for this and all the other awesome videos you make, Mike! The way you explain is great! Both delving into details and not loosing the big picture, simply great. It's very difficult to keep people of different know how levels interested, but in my opinion you manage this marvelously. Keep up! 🎶
Thanks Mike! Great tips!
Great teaching Mike! I'm migrating from ACID Pro to Cakewalk, and your tutorials are invaluable. I don't know whether you've run across Stochas, but it's a free plugin that can give a really nice randomness to your drum patterns. It plays very well with Cakewalk, and you can build your patterns in Stochas then play them back into whatever drum sounds you want. There's a bit of a learning curve to it, but it's worth it. Thanks again!
Thanks for this! These tips help transform a “mechanical” composition into a more natural sounding performance. It blew me away how the entire feel of the rhythm you constructed changed when all you did was adjust the hi-hat and kick into triplets! So after you made the adjustments, I’m looking at the triplet notes, filling the measure exactly the same way as the previous measures, with only the adjustments made to time the notes into triplets, yet my brain is telling me that the rhythm shouldn’t “feel” so drastically different; the entire character of the rhythm changed drastically, but you only moved four notes, amazing! (Maybe it won’t be so amazing when I get a little more theory under my belt.)
Mike, thank you very, very much! I'm a beginner in Cakewalk and after using FL Studio it was extremely difficult for me to get used to the piano roll here. I had a painful question how to pull the highlited patterns or notes without copying and paisting in order to save my time and you gave the complete and clear answer! It's a very informative video! Get my LIKE and a subscription!)
Easy solutuon to join midi inside piano roll and make one clip- 1) In preferences make shortcut key to Bounce to clips. 2)Select all midi notes in piano roll which you want to join in one clip and press bounce to clips shortcut key inside piano roll and it merges all in one clip : )
Video felt shorter than it was! Thanks for all of the feature showcase, this was almost more than I was looking for!
Super helpful video. I've been using Cakewalk for many years but I haven't taken the time to learn all these great shortcuts. This will save alot of production time in the future. Thank you!
great stuff! Thanks for the content!
Brilliant!! Thanks Mike. Very informative, as are all of your vids.
I am huge fan of your channel sir. Someday I would like to make music :) I am a novice guitar player. I dont have much idea about creating music. Kudos to you for helping out beginners?
I made it to the end and this was VERY helpful in unlocking a bunch of goodies I knew were there but never took the time to figure it out. In fact the track pane has baffled me for a long time because I didn't realize that where on the pane I clicked made a difference. The long hold feature was also completely unknown by me till this video. THANKS!
Thanks Mike, I made it to the end and picked up several new tips.
Awesome David. Thanks for hanging in there!
Great tutorial and profound knowledge of the software. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! Very fun and informative!!
Thank you, i am a Cakewalk beginner and I find it super impressive and overwhelming at the same time, and your videos have really helped me so far
Fantastic stuff. I have been using Cakewalk for over 10 years but you have introduced me to lots of new ways of using midi. I often use Groove Clip Looping for copying bars. I will do a basic bar of drums convert it to a Groove Clip and drag it out for the duration of the track. It is easy to chop it up later into separate clips and add fills and variations.
Yes that's what I do too :-)
Loved it
Such great content and info - thanks again! I like to watch your video and take notes (literally) so I don't forget all the good stuff.
Learned a lot! THX!
Hey Mike, great tips. Seems I've Been doing a lot of extra work. Thanks
Thanks again Mike - very informative and enlightening. As you mentioned about keyboard shortcuts, that would be another interesting and useful tutorial! Cheers ....
Agreed!
Thank you Mike , this is very helpful. I finished the video
Very nice video. Excellent explenation in a human way. Wery valuable for me as a beginner! Thanks a lot!!!! I will follow you!!!
Another trick I use with drums is to create a 1 or 2 bar pattern and then convert the clip into a 'Groove Clip'. That can then be 'dragged' from either end in track view and it automatically creates repeats of the patterns. You can also drag it in part measures. You end up with a long single clip you can move and copy/paste. You can split and isolate parts later on if you want to edit them.
You are a legend! Every video you make is so informative so thank you.
This was incredibly helpful. I learned so many things just from this one video, thanks for making it!
Thanks Mike. As with your other Bandlab videos, this is a great learning experience. And, yes, I would like to know more about Bandlab shortcuts. I use a few, but after watching today's video , there are way too many that I don't know.
Thank you very much for making this video!
Great video Mike!
I always make it to the end of your videos. So well done and informative. Thanks for what you do.
Very usefull video ! spending one hour watching it in detail allows saving a lot of time afterwards "in the heat of the action" !
All the way til the end, always!:)I hadn't watched this one yet! Found it timely. Thank you Mike!
I wonder how many people did actually hit the dislike button twice :D Great tutorials Mike ,thank you for your time!!!
I watched it all: super interesting!
Great tutorial and yes: I made it to the end!
You are a LEGEND bud!!! Thank you so much for all the cakewalk content you have done. I have legitimately learn a LOT from you. And also thanks for confirming the MII midi from arturia haha man you have been a hell of a resource.
Having recently discovered Mike's videos I've learnt more in the last few weeks than in the eight years I've been using Cakewalk. As I'm not much of a keyboard player I prefer using the step sequencer than the piano roll for midi. It would be nice to see a full video on using the step sequencer if possible.
An extremely good suggestion my friend :)
That was great Mike! Even though midi input and editing is the main thing I do I still get confused with it! I really must learn the key commands too! As with others the track pane was aa revelation. Be great to see more midi tutorials in the future and I need to go back and watch previous ones and this one again!
Yes, MIDI is one of cakewalk's great strengths. There will be more!!!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Mike... Yep, I made it to the end of the video and will watch it again... and again, and again. :-) Thanks so much for posting these vids!!!
