I just started using cakewalk last night. 1 of the best decisions I've made thus far! And it so easy to work with. Salute to the bandlab family also! Subbed!
I'm still using cakewalk. it's great. i will continue to use it for as long as it will work. I'm working on a smooth jazz & funk album all done in cakewalk
I use Bandlab for ideas, and then fine tune them in CakeWalk. I am still learning both DAWS but really enjoy messing with them. I dont intend to switch because I have invested time into CakeWalk and Bandlab. At the end of the day, I want to make music, not be re-learning for the sake of it.
Studio One also allows a single track for instruments and MIDI during track creation. You can also drag the VST instrument from the browser to the timeline and it will automatically create a track, ready to go. Having said that, Cakewalk Free is still one of my main DAW for projects.
I am also one of those concerned about the direction of Cakewalk, but hearing your message has greatly encouraged me and helped me decide on my own course of action.
@@XELOhh1 You taught me I should be honest with myself so I will stay with the free version of Cakewalk until the time comes because I have no complain at this time.
For reasons I won't go into over RUclips, I have trouble navigating around a computer and life in general. As far as I know, Cakewalk is the only DAW that lets you put picture icons on your tracks and the console. That visual cue makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. I love it! I attempted to use other DAWS and had trouble getting around. I figured it was a matter of time before Cakewalk would no longer be free. I wish it was a -one-time license instead of a monthly fee.
@@tortillaman2491 yea you and the rest of the community are waiting for the perpetual license we will see if it happens... There are other DAWs that use icons on the tracks you will just have to try them out to see how they work I know Reaper... Studio One... FL Studio and Cubase have them for sure so I would start with those DAWs if you are looking for something else... Hope this helps ...😀🙏🏾
I done switched to Reaper as I am on a fixed income ( which made Cakewalk so appealing in the beginning) and it was the only one that I could really afford. Also I have an issue with subscription models, be they plug ins or daws) as it feels like people are holding my projects hostage. I did love Cakewalk by Bandlab. I learned a lot using it over the last 4 years or so.
Still using it. Does everything I need form composition, tracking, mixing and mastering. The largest project I had was about 150 tracks and it worked fine.
Do you use third-party VST's? when i use external VSTs it crashes most of the time! Identified few plugins causing the issue and deleted them - worked fine later. However, sometimes i do experience this issue where i play and the music actually begins after a lag (many more similar bugs like this.). Sadly, this DAW is not stable enough to be used in studios for that one reaso
@@deeps-n5yI have had issues like this as well .. I started using vst2 and the issue kinda went away that seemed to be my fix so far ... Good luck and have fun...😀🙏🏾
@@deeps-n5y Yes, Many VSTs. No stability issues here if I respect the CPU and memory limitations. This is true with all computing as the resources are not unlimited. I suggest tuning the PC for latency and interrupts, disabling any drivers for hardware not being used, ensure you have good memory, and have a fast primary SSD. In CW I use Freeze, Archive and bouncing to make sure tracks I am not working on or are backup do not interfere with recording or other editing tasks. I user reverbs mainly on shared busses when needed for multiple tracks. If you find another DAW that works with your PC configuration then use that.
I just wish they added that midi insert on matrix mode before they made next and sonar :( I made a whole forum post long ago about it. But it never came to fruition
Yea ... I asked for many things that never got added ... These are things that just made sense to add like another eq in the pro channel stuff like that ... I did ask for a matrix update a while back but seemed to be ignored... So i feel ya .. thanks for the comment....😀🙏🏾
I tried to start using Studio 1. I use a Yamaha motif rack (external MIDI gear) S1 will not send panning information to the motif. Cakewalk does and always has. I keep coming back to what I know works. And what I know how to make work. Edit: not to mention importing instrument definitions for said Motif on S1 is a callosal time suck.
Do you have the new Sonar?.. you should definitely report that to the forum if you have the new Sonar they will try to fix the bugs that they get for next updates..😀🙏🏾
@@DewayneMadeIT then why are you switching?... If it works for you then just stick with it ... Have you tried Studio One yet? I believe they have a free trial... You should try it out and see if that's what you really want to do... Good luck..😀🙏🏾
They have reduced the look of the DAW for better engine functionality though they have added GPU enhancements for those with GPUs on their system. Many engine and CPU core enhancements to provide balanced plugin usage. The Bakers are constantly updating and modifying the DAW for optimal usage.
Cakewalk Next is the Windows equivalent of Mac's Garage Band. BTW, there are tons of free samplers out there that work with Cakewalk, but for the ultimate combo try Cakewalk, connected by "Rewire" to Propellerheads Reason. Plenty of samplers synths, romplers, drum machines, etc. You may find you never have to buy anything else, pretty much any sound imaginable can be created with such a combo.
Next is not close to Garage Band seeing that it works on windows and Mac and no one is talking about it or using it... I still don't know the purpose of it... Yes there are free samplers and paid samplers but what DAW in 2024 doesn't come with a sampler 🤔 oh yeah Cakewalk.. trust me I love the DAW as much as the next man but it has features that need to be improved or are missing.. I wouldn't pay for Reason due to there are other DAWs that have more features and are cheaper than Reason it just wouldn't make sense to me... Don't get me wrong I think Reason is a good DAW and has good sounds but still not worth it in my opinion.. just my 2 cents... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@XELOhh1 I get your point, but Next, on an iphone or ipad, is remarkavly similar to garage band on the same platform. As for sampling, I guess I'm a dinosaur, but I prefer actually makung my own music, actually playing the instruments myself, rsther than sampling other peoples "beats", so I don't really have much use for samplers. If I "sample" anything, it might be the sound of a waterfall, children laughing, or other sounds. I can record it with my phone, then bring it into Cakewalk.
@brianbatie6650 oh I see... Yea next only works on Mac and PC not on phones or tablets... Bandlab is on everything that has the Internet ... that maybe what you were thinking about .. it's all good thanks 🙏🏾
@@XELOhh1 I don't think you get it, the internet has nothing to do with it. I have been a Cakewalk user ever since it was a DOS-onky misi sequencer. With it, I play and record what I want, old-school recording studio style. Having investigated Next, I find that it has a similar workflow to GB, both of which for my purposes, are useless.This old school dinosaur. doesn't consider sampling other peoples "beats", then pasting them together, to be actually playing music.
I want to like Cakewalk...and I used to love Cakewalk...but, now that I'm in charge of livestreaming a live mix it's just not stable enough. Had way better stability with FL Studio but I'm using Reaper now and haven't had any problems with it. There are certainly things I don't like about Reaper when it comes to mixing live, but, they're fairly minor.
25 years on Cakewalk, literally thousands of audio and video projects for clients completed. 25 tracks on RUclips under the artist name of Blue Father, most of which are also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, Deezer, and more. All recorded, produced, mixed and mastered exclusively in Cakewalk. I'm not changing, but will not subscribe. I'll revert to my old Sonar first. Hopefully, they'll offer a purchase option. It's the only way I'll stay with them. Good commentary, my friend.
Yea you sound like a lot of other in the community I understand... Im not sure why they are not listening to the community and going another route... It just doesn't make sense to me... We shall see what they do going forward... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I have never used it before but I pretty sure it should work like chord generators... I have a video showing how to setup chord generators in Cakewalk it should work with that method ... Maybe...🤔 Let me know...😀🙏🏾
They now have a native single sample sampler called Xsampler. Very basic and a lil Buggy. No where near as comprehensive as FL Studio’s or Ableton’s native samplers.
Yea I herd that as well I think Mike showed in on creative source... It didn't have a glide option or slicing options.. I feel like so much is missing when it comes to samplers in Cakewalk...😞
@@XELOhh1 I think Cakewalk was originally made for guitar players (rock and metal crowd) but the workflow, capabilities, compatibility and audio engine were so dope that it attracted composers from all genres. It also was the first 64bit DAW. I think they need to widen their scope and definitely develop their samplers. They are just now starting to update their native plugins (sonitus, etc). I’m Windows for life but not going Mac definitely cut into their margins as well.
I sorta knew the free version wouldn't last for ever. What was the business model? Migrated to Reaper, and I think it's an improvement... more intuitive and better track routing. At least Reaper is still being developed and supported.
Yes, Cakewalk is still a very capable DAW, and I still use it occasionally for certain things. However, I use Reaper as my daily drive and have no plans to buy into Sonar.
I feel ya... I'm a reaper guy right now as well it's my current go to DAW... And they actually listen to there fan base unlike Cakewalk at time .. still weird they did subscription still confused about that decision...🤔
CW is still the best free DAW in the market. I tried Waverform but just the fact that it can't work with multi instruments VST's like Kontakt or SampleTank is a turn off for me. I'll stay with CW untill it dies.
Agreed. . one of the things I didn't really like about waveform as well... It's still pretty solid for other things but I think Cakewalk has a leg up on it even without a sampler... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Negative. It's 2024. They need to make a Mac version. Small development teams are on multiple systems. I love reaper. But Bandlab online is making waves. I love their pitch tune.
I agree they need a Mac version and bandlab is good but very limited when mixing and editing it is suppose to intergrate with bandlab at some point I believe but when that will be we dont know.
Cakewalk By Bandlab is awesome. No issues with it, it works perfectly fine. The native pro channel is awesome. Its way of working is straight forward how a person would think. Switching to any subscription based software is a foolish idea because the person is always depended on someone else, and that person can always switch off the software for any reason. So with this saturated DAW market, it is better that Bandlab is to get of this foolish subscription, program in an AI mixing helper, and to make versions both for mac and Linux. By the way, Cakewalk can work on Linux using Lutris as a container. Studio one made Linux version, If Studio one could open cakewalk files like reaper does, it would be awesome. If Bandlab will block people from using Cakewalk for free or getting perpetual license, it will loose a lot of market share.
@@laylasmart definitely still a good DAW... They will not make a Mac or Linux version they had the time but did not use it to expand the DAW that's not Bandlab that's the Baker's... Bandlab doesn't really care either way it seems they are not making money off of Cakewalk now so you can't say they are losing market share when there was no income in the first place ... That's why they don't mind the subscription model they will get what they can while they still can.. thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@XELOhh1 I use cakewalk from the days it Sonar 1. Sonar 2 was good but on sonar 3 they made a lot of mess. Bandlab fixed many of those issues. As for the market share. The fact that Bandlab do not make any money from cakewalk doesn't change the fact that they have a part in the market share like many other free somfware. All cakewalk user, use cakewalk for the fact it is free. That are protentional costumers for other daw manufacture. That way, cakewalk take a big bite in those manufacture pockets. That means, market share. Market share doesn't means "those wo make money from their product". It means "those who in there market regardless their prices or if they have one". You can take Blender 3d as an example. It is a free pro level 3d animation software that can be use in Hollywood studios in major movies, and many people use it instead of paying for other 3d software. You can watch many of Blender movies online and compare the results.
I thought you said cakewalk was going to sell their DAW.. because of that, I threw it out!!! Besides that.. I really liked cakewalk!! However.. if i have buy a DAW.. I'll buy Ableton!!
P.s. ..I actually thought what they did was DIRTY.. TO GET EVERYBODY USED TO THE DAW.. THEN ANNOUNCE ITS ONLY FREE UNTILL THEY SELL IT!! THATS KINDA SHITTY!! YOU MAKE TRACKS ON IT.. THEN YOU GOTTA BUY IT NOW TO ACCESS YOU BEATS??!! I ACTUALLY HATE THE COMPANY SONAR.. YEA RIGHT! POODOO
They are the ones who stated that they would be going to a paid model last year and never released the product until a month ago as subscription only... The Cakewalk by Bandlab version is still available and it is still free to use ... It does not have any restrictions to use it... You don't have to buy Sonar if you don't want to so just keep using it until you can't and that will only be if windows decides to update and the date is no longer compatible... No need to be angry about it there are other DAWs out there .. I do have a question why Ableton?... Have you used it before? do you actually like it? and it cost more than 3 years of subscription from bandlab 🤯... Let me know
@XELOhh1 I know ableton is expensive.. yes I've used it over ten years.. I really like it. However, I've used sonar like 20 years ago.. or when they came out.. so I was really excited to hear when bandlab and cakewalk was talking about doing something for all artists rich and poor and that whole lecture. So I was ecstatic. So when they did the flip flop kamala spin then asked for cash.. I was highly disappointed. Plus I'm someone who strongly feels an artist who can produce with less, free DAWs etc and give the professionals a run for they money.. is a true artist and thought cakewalk shared that vision..
When they chose the name 'Cakewalk' it was the right name. Cakewalk means easy to achieve. This D.A.W. is most definitely easy to use. It is not difficult to achieve amazing results.
Nothing Defeats Cakewalk. There is no DAW that has Events List this good and I am working at Karaoke Companies who always looks at controls being used.
I would say Reaper but that's just me 😂... You can make your own event list and make them into it's own tool bar in Reaper... But I understand what you are saying Cakewalk is definitely a solid DAW... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@mhavock I tried cubase and fl studio. I dont like how they interpret rpn and nrpn and other controls for the midi to function its attack decay and etc.
@@XELOhh1 The NRPN and RPN also doesnt work the same way as other softwares. Hehe. And to me sys x work perfectly in cakewalk. And to add I still make calscripts until now and other manipulations for cakewalk so thats why for me its the best DAW there is. Hehe.

You can watch many of Blender movies online and compare the results.
Still the best

Drum sequencing sucks to me. Only thing stopping me from using it as a primary DAW.
You need to to try using NI Battery for drums in Cakewalk
@@dj_instruments937 what were you using to sequence your drums in Cakewalk?
I thought you said cakewalk was going to sell their DAW.. because of that, I threw it out!!! Besides that.. I really liked cakewalk!! However.. if i have buy a DAW.. I'll buy Ableton!!
P.s. ..I actually thought what they did was DIRTY.. TO GET EVERYBODY USED TO THE DAW.. THEN ANNOUNCE ITS ONLY FREE UNTILL THEY SELL IT!!
THATS KINDA SHITTY!! YOU MAKE TRACKS ON IT.. THEN YOU GOTTA BUY IT NOW TO ACCESS YOU BEATS??!!
I ACTUALLY HATE THE COMPANY SONAR.. YEA RIGHT! POODOO
They are the ones who stated that they would be going to a paid model last year and never released the product until a month ago as subscription only... The Cakewalk by Bandlab version is still available and it is still free to use ... It does not have any restrictions to use it... You don't have to buy Sonar if you don't want to so just keep using it until you can't and that will only be if windows decides to update and the date is no longer compatible... No need to be angry about it there are other DAWs out there .. I do have a question why Ableton?... Have you used it before? do you actually like it? and it cost more than 3 years of subscription from bandlab 🤯... Let me know
@XELOhh1 I know ableton is expensive.. yes I've used it over ten years.. I really like it. However, I've used sonar like 20 years ago.. or when they came out.. so I was really excited to hear when bandlab and cakewalk was talking about doing something for all artists rich and poor and that whole lecture. So I was ecstatic. So when they did the flip flop kamala spin then asked for cash.. I was highly disappointed. Plus I'm someone who strongly feels an artist who can produce with less, free DAWs etc and give the professionals a run for they money.. is a true artist and thought cakewalk shared that vision..
Plus I don't want to have songs made with cakewalk I can't use
@XELOhh1 Love your videos.. forgot to tell you..
Dope☆
When they chose the name 'Cakewalk' it was the right name. Cakewalk means easy to achieve. This D.A.W. is most definitely easy to use. It is not difficult to achieve amazing results.
@@ServingMyJesus that's a good way to put it... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Mac version asap
Agreed... And I don't even have a Mac...😀🙏🏾
Still using it and free with unlimited Tracks.
😆
😂 that's what's up...😀🙏🏾
Nothing Defeats Cakewalk. There is no DAW that has Events List this good and I am working at Karaoke Companies who always looks at controls being used.
I would say Reaper but that's just me 😂... You can make your own event list and make them into it's own tool bar in Reaper... But I understand what you are saying Cakewalk is definitely a solid DAW... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
Are you kidding? I doubt you tried any other DAWs if you think so.
@@mhavock I tried cubase and fl studio. I dont like how they interpret rpn and nrpn and other controls for the midi to function its attack decay and etc.
@@mhavock And also I still use programming language CAL scripting until now. No other programs have that.
@@XELOhh1 The NRPN and RPN also doesnt work the same way as other softwares. Hehe. And to me sys x work perfectly in cakewalk. And to add I still make calscripts until now and other manipulations for cakewalk so thats why for me its the best DAW there is. Hehe.
