    Now just wait a minute. I can sing a melody and have it converted to a midi track with an instrument assigned to it? That is totally sick!!! I'm going to have some serious fun playing with that feature.

I've always been a menu reader so I knew about a couple of these features, but while it's instructive to peruse the menus and click things just to see what happens, sometimes you just want to make music. Thank you for sharing.

      Great feedback Dan. I am aiming to take less hardware and software for review with this in mind, because I would prefer the channel has a better balance than it does currently. I do have a little backlog of things sent to me, but once they are done, I will address this.

    I love videos like this - direct, to the point and very informative. If you're able to make more in the future I'm sure they'd be extremely popular. Also, a huge thanks to you for your continued support for Cakewalk. The music industry can be incredibly snobby at times and it's a very pleasant change to not have a great DAW dismissed because it's free of charge. A few more people with an attitude similar to yours would benefit everybody.
