    Its great that you're highlighting Cakewalk by Bandlab. Cakewalk is a fantastic DAW that doesn't get the attention its competition gets. It would also be terrific if you could put a link to share your files you work so we can practice the skills with the identical tracks your are using to explain the concepts. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials!

    This is absolute GOLD! Up until now I’ve resorted to splitting audio on to two tracks and using a different fader volume for each section. Because I know you always have better ways of doing things I searched ‘cakewalk automation’ and sure enough, here it is! You are helping so many of us better our skills. Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊

    Hi Mike, just want to thank you for all the tutorials you have done for Cakewalk. I grew up on Cakewalk....for DOS.....wow, did I say that out loud :) I have been a working MIDI musician for many years and have done great with it. I have been trying to transition into the digital world and found it just wasn't as simple as one might have thought. But you have really helped me a lot and I am now well on the way to being able to almost be effective with my Cakewalk DAW. Thanks for all you are doing, it is really awesome.

    I've had Sonar 8, X1 - X3. Every time I invested, I felt that the next edition had better explanations. So, what was lacking? was it me or the product. It was neither, it was lacking MIke!. Your understanding and ability to verbalize that understanding is brilliant. Yes, Sonar made a good DAW, but Band lab with Mike has made it possible for the average person to use. I was considering ProTools, Arturia, etc. however, with proper instruction, Band lab's Cakewalk meets and exceeds my expectations. Thank you Band Lab for having the insight and daring risk to save cakewalk

  • @joepluta1658

    I am a very old dog just getting back into the world of DAWs, and this is phenomenal. I started with Cakewalk on MS-DOS and things have gotten a bit more complicated :), but this video absolutely demystifies this particular topic and makes me optimistic that I can pick up the rest. Excellent, excellent job, Mike.

    • @abc456f
      @abc456f 4 года назад

      I'm in the same boat. I started with Sonar 8.5 studio, then upgraded to Sonar X3 studio. But I was just doing the most basic recording and was kind of flying blind. I gave up on it for several years and now getting back into it with Cbb. Mike's videos are such a great help. I'm trying just to learn a little bit day by day so I don't overwhelm myself and forget everything. I'm still amazed that Bandlab is providing this software for free. I'm wondering what their business model is going forward.

      @stevew2724 5 лет назад

      I have known about automation for a while--that it exists and a little of what it can be used for. However, learning new features, techniques, etc. has often been a personal stumbling block (initial bump in the road to learning is too steep for my personal "shock absorbers.") The 3 or 4 videos in this series I have seen so far match my personal learning style in a number of ways--such as internal pacing/flow of ideas presented, balance of basic novice and more advanced beginner-to-intermediate concepts, visual presentation, etc. When the video gets to my overload/saturation point, I can bookmark it and re-watch it later with the first part serving to reinforce what I picked up the first (or second) time-->>without having to suffer through the failings of an unprofessional, overly rambling/backtracking style often found in other tutorials. Others may like those, but as I said, your mode of content presentation agrees with my personal learning style. Others might have issues (e.g., you used ______ instead of _____), but these videos work for me. Thanks!!

    Great tutorial, very useful. I just published a few weeks ago a new album and I recorded it and mixed it all with Cakewalk. It's an excellent DAW. I've bee using Cubase for 15+ years, but couldn't afford a new one after my old PC died (and Cubase with it). Cakewalk has all the necessary features to do most of the job and EVERYTHING FOR FREE, when Cubase and the other DAWs are ridiculously expensive!

    • @Spliff128
      @Spliff128 3 года назад

      Man thats unfortunate to read, could`nt you extract old installers from your SystemHDD of your dead PC? Or maybe write some mails to the product supplyers, they can surely help you. I bought a new laptop 1 month ago and even if it was a pain in the ass, i could get running almost everything on the new hardware. Now i got my plugins on the old studio pc and on the go with my laptop :)
      I hope this information can help you a little bit .
      Besides that, Cakewalk ist awesome, its since Sonar 6 my main DAW and still today. I can use all my old Sonar Plugins on it and even if the Bandlab version has not the old full package, a CW starter can go with some bought or free plugins and produce everything with it.

      @JesusRodriguez-dc7of 4 года назад

      Kinda late, but if you haven't figured it out yet, I can help.
      In the piano roll window, you can do crazy hihat and snare trap patterns by pressing "t" and using the "paintbrush" tool.
      In the top right of the piano roll view window there's a little square grid box that allows you to input the note start times *and* durations (8th, 16th, 32nd, 64th, etc) that you'd like to use.
      You can make all kinds of cool hihat patterns like they do in trap music, but I don't think you can alter the pitch in the piano roll view (which is kind of a drawback). Although the workaround for that is to create a "pitch" automation envelope and just draw it in with "nodes" (just like he shows you in this video here).
      Hope that helps. 👍

    • @CreativeSauce
      @CreativeSauce  4 года назад

      Hi Willard, I tend to prefer those elements of sound such as volume and panning to console automation, or the final audio of the element controlled midi (virtual or real instrument). For me its just a preference of no mixing up concepts. MIDI in itself makes no actual 'sound', but gives instructions to something that makes sound. So I prefer just to let MIDI control, notes, note duration, sustain, modulation etc etc.
