You can open the Console view by pressing "D" on the keyboard. Also, you can zoom in and out holding Alt and then scrolling. Split tracks by pressing "S", mute tracks/track sections by pressing "K" as well. Those are some of the most useful ones I haven't yet seen on your videos. As always, excellent content.
I know you're a very good teacher, i go from tutorials to tutorials but when i get frustrated i always revert back to your channel and i truly understand what i need to do. Although i consider myself a slow learner your way of explanation helps me so much. Thanks mike 100 %
My biggest life-saving discovery in Cakewalk is the "view undo" feature. Often times I'll accidentally press some mystery key that unexpectedly changes the layout-say, maybe all my tracks are suddenly resized. But with alt+z, I can instantly get the old view back. Hopefully this trick will be of use to somebody else!
That, 'snap by,' tip is pure gold. Thank you!
Glad its helpful!
Wow that Snap To and Snap By tip is incredible! Never knew that
Nice Tan Mike! hope You had a great small vacation!
Thanks, Mike. Now I feel really smug.
Used various versions of Cakewalk for 22 years and I never even noticed the snap to/snap by control. Thanks for that Mike, bloody brilliant!
Glad u exist Mike!
Haha, I'm happy to be here :) Thank you.
Love your videos! You save me a lot of headache and push me to go deeper into things I've avoided.
I've been using Cakewalk for over 20 years and I've never learned about the snap "by" function. That could have saved me alot of headaches over the years! Thanks Mike. I think I never have the patience to go through and learn all these little things on my own, so it's good to just have someone show me.
Thanks for the snap by!!!
Big help on the "snap by"! I have been using cakewalk since 2006. I never took the time to stop and learn what "snap by" really meant! Thank you. PS. just joined your facebook page!
Hi Mike, I recently discovered your site! Thank you very much for presenting the programs virtually, because unfortunately I speak less English. But the way you show and tell the "secrets", I really enjoy understanding your messages! I really appreciate the many, many hours you put into introducing Cakewalk. This makes it so much easier for me to learn and explore Cakewalk!
I've been using Cakewalk on and off since 1995. Only now do I know what Snap By does. 🤦🏼♂️ The number of times that would have come in handy! Thanks Mike, love your channel.
Sauce is the Boss!!
Lol, yes.
Mike you amaze me with your knowledge of Cakewalk. I've been using Cakewalk products since Pro 9 and I'm always learning something new from you. It might be interesting for you to give some history on how you learned so much about the software. I have many versions of Scott Garrigus's books on the use of Sonar, X1 thru X3 and that was always my go to. I'm sure we all have our bag of tricks on how we set up our projects. I mostly record acoustic driven projects so my knowledge is pretty good with say Folk ballads or Lite music. When it comes to Rock or heavy metal or as they say current Pop music there is a whole different set of fundamentals in setting up a project. It might be interesting to have others tell us their 'bag of tricks" as well.
I honestly don't know where it comes from... forums, articles... some of it also goes to the same place as guitar picks, and I have to research it again!
Hi Mike. I learned more things that I had no idea about. Thanks
Fantastic tips here Mike, several thing I never before realised, and been using Cakewalk since the first version last century!
Brilliant snap to demo Mike :) Really needed that info bro.
And to reinforce Mike's point about using a drive other than 'C' for data is that it's much easier to manage backups. I've always setup my PC with a 'C' for OS, and a 'D' for data for more than 30 years now.
Hey Mike, I hope u'r well!
Just wanted to say thanks for another great video! Also a little tip on Docking.. pressing keyboard "D" will toggle the Console and Track views. I use that one very often.. Cheers!
A couple of things I'd add to docking tricks, if you haven't already covered them: the "D" key acts as minimise/restore for the Multidock, and Shift+D will maximise the multidock so that it covers Track View entirely. These keystrokes are essential to me when I work on my 14" notebook. The other is how to get the Browser to run full-length on the right side (I notice that you have this set up in your videos). To do it, click on the Docking Options icon and even if Dock at Right is already checked, select it again. It's especially handy when you've used Shift+D to maximise the multidock
Learned these today after many years: Snap By for audio clips; Display Module Options/Show Assignable Controls
I always learn something from these videos. Thanks so much!
Glad to hear it! Thank you :)
thanks Mike. Yes great explanations. The TO/BY snap thing is something i didn't fully appreciate the uses for. Very handy.
Thank you Mike.
Another helpful video! let me know when you'd like to discuss having me as a guest reviewer.
WOW First tip was 🤯 The Snap To/By explanation might just save my sanity moving forward (I now see it as Absolute and Relative like in Excel hahaha)
Now I know what Nap By is, thanks buddy.
Mike, I love this. I specially like the way you explain very simple and slowly. I'm just a guy who plays music for fun and most of the time the simpliest things make much easier.
Thanks Mike, lots of bits I didn't know about! Keep 'em coming, good stuff;-)
Mike, I've been using this program off and on since the late 80's and I still learn, and re-learn, new things about it. It's always a hard balance of learning, creating, and playing music, or learning recording techniques. Thanks again for your videos. I've learned more from them then any other source.
Yep, that was me. Thank you , Mike! And, like others here, I'm learning about the "snap by" feature from your video today as well. Thanks a megaton!
Thanks for the inspiration mate!
Learned lots there Mike thanks mill as always👍
Destroyer Mike - Sounds like a Rapper or a Pro Wrestler LOL!😆
Thanks Mike - more great info!
Thanks Mike, absolute gold as per usual! :-)
Thanks for this mike, another awesome video.
Merci Mike pour tes précieux conseils. Longue vie à ta chaine !
Wow! What a wonderful resource for Cakewalk Users. It just keeps giving and does it well.
Thank you...
My pleasure:)
"Hey, thanks Mike. Now I'm really smart"
I love these "secrets" videos! I'm almost certain that my issues lately with snapping in the PRV are related to the features you explained. It would be a relief if I finally got this right now!
Nice! Cakewalk is such a great DAW, using it almost everyday, still learning!
A big thanks you Mike! We need more informatives secrets like this!
Thanks Mike,great review !
Hi Mike, I learn new tricks from you all the time and I've been using Cakewalk since it was called Twelve Tone Systems Cakewalk and it was on floppy disk and didn't even record audio. It was just a midi sequencer. I had to stripe TC on track 8 of my tape machine and play it to kick off Cakewalk reading the TC from the tape and then I would record the audio on tracks 1 thru 7 along with the sequenced drums and strings and other stuff. Technology is much easier now. I love your channel and learn great tips. Thanks
Excellent tips and very clearly explained as usual!
Cheers Paul!
Another tip.. using the "D" key on the tab of the tool you want to expand or close; double clicking the tab will toggle it up, half-way, and then again toggle it to full screen.. The "D" key on the tab, just hides it (not remove it) that's what the [x] is for on the multi-doc display
Snap by, will for sure help me out cheers Mike.
Bro. Thx for your work. This pills are so useful.
God bless you
Amazing Mike thanks
My pleasure:)
Thanks Mike, been using Cakewalk since before it did audio, around 1992-93. I always noticed the snap by option, but never took the time to learn what its was. I was splitting clips on the down beats and lining them up so I can snap to... now I dont have to. Thanks again!!
Exceptionally helpful..
I've never used that Inspector Display option, but I use the Inspector a lot! Will definitely be using it in future!
To the point. Good stuff.
Thanks Mike. 👍
thans Mike very helpful
Thanks Mike.
thanks Mike !
Great tips as always Mike. I'd just add for any newbies - always back up your projects etc at least to another disk - don't just rely on having one copy! :-)
10 Years with Cakewalk ... didn't know about snap to and snap by.
Thanks, Mike. There is always some trick that I did not know. In this case, the TO or BY snap (It was stucked in "TO" for whole years haha)
thnx a lot!
Yeaaahh!Thank You😹🥂🤓👏✌️👍🎉
My pleasure :)
On a tab with console or whatever you have there. Clicking opens it up a set height.. double click it takes the whole docked-screen height, click again, it goes back to the set height; one thing I had be searching for is, how do I minimize the tab? well you can grab the top of the displayed tab which is an extra step.. mouse, drag.. but you can use simply the "D" key and it will minimize the open tab.. THIS IS Awesome.. been hunting this down for years.. It so nice. one keystroke, and done (hit "D" key again, and opens up to the last height setting, eh? cool?
Thanks for all the fantastic cakewalk videos Mike! How about a video detailing how to save and archive a completed project? Do you just save a cakewalk bundle or stems or something else?
Ahhhh, the snap to feature! How much time have I spent manually nudging clips that star just before the grid line. Massive time saver, thanks.
Always learning something - never explored the duplicate channel in console view - just ignored it mostly. Wish several things could live simultaneously in the dock section (Console and Markers one example - like the old days). This FB group is starting to pay dividends in many ways - I'd say a "Win/Win" situation. Can't believe how many views in just a few hours :D
Mike, I have been following you for quite a while now. I consider myself a novice at recording and mixing and have found these videos very educational. I started out using Cool Edit Pro, so I am dating myself. Cakewalk is a great toolbox and thanks for showing us what is in that box to be productive. Any suggestions on how to get a project out here to be critiqued by someone like yourself?
Ah!!!
I knew those ones!
The 'undock' for the tabs I use all the time.
I got two monitors the first one, and bigger is for Cakewalk main screen and the second one for the Console.
It's amazing to work this way.
I got you one nice tip when working with MIDI.
We can hide tracks for the MIDI and use only the VSTi track, that is the 'most important'.
But we can 'unhide them already by clicking on 'Strips' and then 'Track Manager'
The window with all tracks, hidden or not, is displayed so we can make them visible again.
Isn't it a good one to make a video?
Regards from Rio
Floppy disk?
OMG!
360KB?
1200KB?
720KB or
1.4MB?
lol
We're getting old...
And even every clip has got an snap offset in its clip properties. This can set the real acoustic starting point of the clip to snap.
Hi Mike, thanks for another informative video. Recently I've been (unsuccessfully) trying to make use of the "Draw pattern" tool on automation lanes. I expected it to work in a similar fashion to how it behaves in the piano roll: you select a pattern of midi notes and then "paint" with them. But it doesn't... It doesn't really seem to do anything on automation lanes. I've tried all combinations of shift/ctrl/alt keys when selecting and dragging it, but the tool doesn't actually do anything. I've looked online for solutions and found nothing. Any thoughts? Am I missing something, or did the developers overlook it (I found no answers in the documentation either)?
Great content , simple but great explanations. Thank you ! I have a quick question or opinion request. I use SONAR X3 since for a long time. Which is no support at all. Is there any advantage when compared with using Bandlab like sound quality , engine difference etc.. ? Does it worth to skip Bandlab ?
Mike.. I have two things I'm confused about:
A).. on the Tool bar (smart, select, move, edit, draw, erase) there another "Snap" like drop down.. what does that control?
B).. I can set the gridlines, and gridline snap to work in the PRV, but how do you get grid lines on the TRK view
C). How do you effectively use NUDGE.. it doesn't seem to work as easily as ProTools.. so what about that?
Also.. Found that the multidock.. when you click to open it, once, it opens up half way up leaving view of the tracks view.. if you click again, it will fill the screen; click again, it goes to half.. If you press "D" it will minimize the selected multi-docked control module
hi how do you set the volumes for a live set so nothing is over powering the next thing eg vocal vs lead guitar
Can you make this setting choices , for the snap for example to become default to all the new projects?
Thanks.
a question. Is there a way to open the settings window of a vst instrument by assigning a button on the MIDI controller?
Mike, how do you get the 'transport' cursor to stay in Place while zooming in and out? without that, it is really frustrating to go chase where the transport cursor is.. Also is there a way to keep the transport cursor in place while the tracks move under it?
Hi Mike, I’m not English so I ask straight ahead. i’m using undock often but when I close a window with the “-“ in the richt upper corner, I only can find it back by switching from advanced view to another and back. Is there another easyer way
Mike, i have recorded a guitar part, i want to make it sound like keyboards. How to do that please?
Is there a way I can record a midi instrument, Piano for example, directly into the piano roll as I play each note?
Here's a question.. when you have multiple tabs docked, is there a way to toggle thru them like you can do on a Browser to cycle thru the tabs.. Chrome Shift-TAB will move you thru the browser tabs.. Alt-TAB lets you toggle thru all running apps, to bring them to the foreground.
Hi my name is Michael bayley and im new to cakewalk, i have 1 question for now, does cakewalk have horns such as trumpets 🎺 or do i have to download an external plugin??
how do I set show peak and RMS as default?
I save all my projects and other work to my G: drive which is Google drive.
Sir i am your reguler viewer, i'v learn cakewalk a lot from your video. You are doing a great job, thankyou so much sir.
Could you help me? How to pitch shift in cakewak? Or in si bass how to hammer on or pull off in cakewalk? I cant find out, please help me sir. How to slide a note?
I have the pro channel showing instead of the inspector view. And I don't do Facebook.
Top right of the pro-channel you should sees a "Show/Hide Pro-Channel" button. When you hide the pro-channel it should then show you the inspector view in its place.
@@geezerbliz I know, but the Pro Channel is much more useful for me, which is why I have that window set to it.
@@mwmcbroom sorry, I misinterpreted your comment.
how do u stop the screen from scrolling when editing
****** ->>>> Hey, mike.. one more thing.. Under the 'smart' tool selector in top left corner (by default) there is also a "setting" for resolution 'whole, 1/8, 1/2, etc.. what is it for? the snap features for the global setting and the individual PRV, I understand (working with CW since about 1990s) what is that one used for? cannot make sense how it affects what my snap to/by features are set, or how does this relate to the project?
I didn't know you could drag the tabs to undock. Nice tip. On another note, either I'm losing my hearing or there's no top end on your voice. Sounds like you're speaking from under a duvet.
I think you may be right! I thought it was my hearing!
@@CreativeSauce maybe we've both lost our hearing!
How can I go on the piano roll for the velocity. It’s always very difficult for me to go there all the time and I don’t understand why…
@@waynemiller6070 Thank you very much
I’ve been using CW for ages, and learned something. Maybe I forgot it. Yeah, that’s my excuse….
how do i change the volume of my tracks
You can either use the Console view (Mike explains in this video how to access it), or the view at the left of your screen. You use the sliders, up and down. Pretty straightforward once you get to them.
You can also use the automation feature to change it during playback.
Superlative ............. again!!
Hello
Slaps self on forehead, then fixes his piano roll snap settings...🧐
Hi. You need to roll some bass off your mic, Mike.
