Wouldn't it be easier to just do one or two bars and then copy and paste the rest ? More important question, without a midi is there a way I can use my keyboard for the notes on the instrument ?
Yep you could do record two bars and then copy and paste it or turn it into a groove clip. Hmm are you wanting to use your keyboard to record midi or record audio?
I'm sorry I should have specified, I'm referring to the computer keyboard. Rather than mouse clicks, it seems impossible to put together anything decent with just the mouse clicks. @@JustDaNorm
Thanks Yadda Yadda. I’m glad that the videos are helpful. Keep me posted on your current projects and always feel free to shoot questions. Happy Holidays
Thank You Stardance. I’m getting better daily. Welcome to the community. Thank you for your subscription. Let me know if you have questions or ideas for me. Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks for the video. I'm amazed by what's available in cakewalk. Long time since I tried a daw, so need to refresh some things. You have great talent man.
I like how you devote time to each instrument. Great explanations. I haven't been using cakewalk very long; haven't even tried the built-in instruments. Just been using some plugins already in my files. The Drum kit is impressive enough. Now I have to try it out. I've got the Diablo plugin in case I need to add some punch. Just playing around with the software and having fun while learning is what I need now. Like your style. Guess I should sub, huh.
Hey Darrell, Thank you for watching. Yeah it’s amazing what all the software can do. Diablo is nice. Keep me posted on your projects. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
@@JustDaNorm Well, I tried the SI Drums. I don't know why the kick and snare will not play from my midi keyboard. Is there some sort of mapping I need to do?
@@darrellpidgeon6440 you might want to change the octave shift on your mid board. Normally the notes B, C, D, and E are reserved for two bass drums and snares drums on midi. I would try lowering the octave on board down one octave and see if you find the bass and snare drum. Let me know if this works. If not there are other solutions.
Hey brother very good info. All this time I've never seen anyone use the notations view and also just showing how the slide functions on SI Bass is very cool. I've been using other vst bass instruments but I'm re inspired and will definitely give that one a shot. Again thanks for the great vid 👍
Hey Kris. Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching. Yep I often go to notation tool when I am making adjustments. It’s. Yep the slide is a cool feature. It’s cool that you use other Vsts. Anything that helps you get your ideas out go for it. Let me know if you have any questions!
Hello Natalia, Thank you for the question. I am using the Nektar Lx-25 keyboard controller. Any midi/usb keyboard will work. Or you can use virtual controller with Cakewalk. You can find link to my controller in description if you want to know more about it.
Hmm. I don’t believe so. In order to access the instruments install you have to run the cakewalk.exe install. You can use them in different DAWs once Cakewalk is installed
@@JustDaNorm Yes, I have Cakewalk installed on my PC and as you said, other DAWs recognize Cakewalk Studio Instruments. But I wanted to try it now on a Mac computer without installing CW. Thanks for the reply! 🙂
What im looking for is to record midi on my piano then change the midi voicing to any orchesta/band instument. That should be an easy thing to do when working with midi but it doesn't look like cakewalk has this ability. Is there a workflow for this?
Yes what you do is record on an instrument track using whatever your virtual instrument you want to use like Cakewalk TTS or other type of plugins. Once you record midi you can change it to any sound by changing patches on the instrument you use. In each track there is a midi tab that allows you to change bank and patches. You also can just change the sound in whatever instrument you use.
@@JustDaNorm Yes, I think i just found that. It's the first DAW I've tried out and was previously using musescore. It had a bunch of preinstalled instruments so I could literally just change the instrument on the score and it worked. Seems a bit annoying having to install a plugin for each individual instrument but I did find the ones I needed. Most are free. Thanks for the reply!
@adobo1976 what sounds are you looking for your pieces? Normally you don’t have to install anything else. The tts is general midi sounds which should work similar to musescore. There are more diverse instruments that you can install if you want to use various orchestra sounds, etc
@@JustDaNorm Right now I really just want to compose something interesting and melodic. I play sax, clarinet, piano. My thinking was to use my midi piano as an input and then edit the various tracks. I did find the BBC Orchestra plugin. It seems to have what I need. I didnt see the TTL you mentioned though
@@adobo1976 gotcha. Yes BBC is great plugin. When you installed Cakewalk did you check for all of the instruments to be installed? Did you get the SI instruments. It comes with a bass guitar, keys and strings
Thank you Andre stp for watching. If you are using a keyboard controller or even the virtual controller. It will most likely be F#3 for closed and A# for open. You can also change which drum sample you want each part of the set to trigger.
@@JustDaNorm Thanks a lot for your kindness.. I don't have keyboard controller yet, try to use virtual and mouse to trigger the drum set. Still exploring how to change each part of the drum set individually. Is it possible?
Hmm. I believe you can get a realistic sound. There are so many great virtual instruments. But the thing that’s sometimes hard to duplicate is the feel and natural characteristics of a real instrument. That’s shouldn’t stop you though. So many songs have been released with virtual instruments and samples
Yo man great vid. Question for you and anybody here...I have an interface (ASIO) I plug in to my PC that is used to record Guitar, Bass and Vocals. I got no issues with it. But because I cant properly record a drum kit, I got to use the SI Drums. When I pull the SI Drum suite up and test it all out, I can hear it. But as soon as I drag over a pre-recorded beat(.wav file) into the track it doesnt play sound. I can see the bars but it aint playing back to me. I checked all the common stuff like Echo On, Master recording. etc. When I create track, ive tried both Audio and MIDI. Neither shows sound. Its rly messing me up cuz I am weird...I always like to do beats first, then add my bass and guitar riffs. So its a huge roadblock for me.
I'm confused how to program what keys on the computer keyboard to the instrument..like how you were playing the drums so quickly with the keyboard. I can't figure out what to press.
Press Alt + 0 to open virtual controller. Then you can play the keys on your computer keyboard to trigger drum sounds in Cakewalk. Just remember to setup a drum track with SI Drums, TTS or any other instruments you have available. Let me know if this helps. All the best!
WHEN I DRAG A DRUM LOOP OR WHATEVER INTO A TRACK AND GO TO PLAY IT BACK WITH A GUITAR TRACK I CANT GET ANY AUDIO. I DO HAVE MY MONITORING ON FOR THE TRACK AND SET FOR MY FOCUSRITE / HEADPHONES. WHAT AM I MISSING? IM NEW TO USING DAW/ CAKEWALK AND JUST WANT TO ADD SIMPLE DRUM BEATS SO I CAN MAKE BASIC SONGS TO BRING TO MY BAND
Hey James, I hope all is well! Thanks for the question. When you add a drum loop, are you dragging it into a midi or instrument track? The drum loops will not work in an audio track. If you are using midi/instrument track. You should either hear sound from General mid sounds, or if you use instrument track you can add an instrument like the SI Drum Kit to it which should allow playback. I have a whole series on recording/adding drums in Cakewalk.

Hello Princess Chavez. Did you install software via Bandlab Assistant. I would uninstall the software and reinstall. Make sure you check all the plugins and instruments so that they are installed.
They are cool for beginners. Actually with mixing they are good for anyone. Yes there are better sounds but sometimes you have to work with what you got.
i really hate daws man, theyre the only thing demotivating me, ones too expensive, ones too simple and ones too complicated, and i dont even know how to make a single sound that isnt a keyboard (sample) and i dont know how to get instruments/samples outside the program, this is the only reason i hate making music, can never make it because of these stupid daws with such major flaws
Sorry you are having issues with DAWs. What kind of music are you looking to make in a DAW? There are a bunch of free instruments outside of DAWs you can install and use. Just depends on what sounds you are looking for.
Quick comment: When doing these videos, please stick to the content. Don't go into showing me how to use the piano, the settings......that's not what I came here for. Stick to the subject at hand. I came here to record AUDIO from a vst, without doing a midi track. This didn't help me at all. thanks.
Thanks for the comment. This video focuses on recording virtual instruments in Cakewalk. It’s a combo of an audio and midi track. There is no way to record audio from VST with out midi track as cars require midi data. To make it complete audio you have to freeze the track or bounce it to an audio track.
