This is one of the best instructional videos I have watched. Clear, to the point, without unnecessary chit chat or side discussions. Excellent for learning. You systematically go through each of the options and so effect. Great teaching. Much appreciated.
Wow! You speak a little fast, but your explanations are clear and you go over every small step. Other videos I have watched on Cakewalk don't explain well enough how to get to a particular place or view. Your video has really helped!!
@@R3V1Z3 And Cakewalk is amazing,not easy,but not too difficult. I think you must be free of private problems to concentrate on this. Because,if you're thinking of your problems during creating music, it's very difficult for you. Better look for a solution of your own private problems before concentrate on CW.
Lots of great tips. The best tip was to slow the video down if I feel it's too fast. I didn't even know TH-cam settings would let me do that! 3/4 speed is the perfect speed for me. I feel like I'm learning a lot but it's definitely going to take awhile for all the information to sink in! You've progressed very quickly in your Cakewalk knowledge.
Great video. I do Have One question. I’m having trouble matching the beat in the step sequencer to the audio clip I’m working with. Anyone have any tips on matching the timing of audio clip with the tempo of the step sequencer
great video! does anyone know why randomly my loop will be silent on certain beats? then the next loop after it plays the part that is written and supposed to play
hi! thank you for your tutorials, they're very clear and useful ;) when I've got more MIDI tracks inside of my project the selected track seems to play every other midi track at the same time on top of the other instruments... how to fix that?
The issue happens because the track is taking MIDI information from other tracks. In existing projects, disable input echo (wifi looking button on each track) In new projects, when adding an instrument track, add it from the CbB plugin browser on the right. When you do that a dialogue box will show up and in that, disable MIDI input.
HEY adk plz make a video on mixing in cakewalk BTW I am troubleshooting related to cakewalk that when I play any kick snare in browser section or in track distorted sound is coming [same with synths] I cannot start working on new projects any cure dude
Hi bro, new here, I am a future beat maker learning music theory stuff and your tutorial videos are really helping me because I am using CakeWalk (have downloaded many of your videos to practice with). In fact, I wanna suggest you to make a video on how to make a Producer Tag using CakeWalk with free Vsts please. Thanks & best regards
Hello,I installed 'sitala 'new version but i wanted old version so ideleted new version and installed old,but while installing old version sitala it is showing 'The later version of this already installed try again'. So what to do now can you help me to fix this plz
Deleting won't uninstall. You have to preoperly uninstall it with by going into windows control panel. Look up "how to uninstall a software from windows add or remove programs".
Hey great video! My problem is that the step sequencer is grey when i try to put open it. So when I press Alt+4 nothing happens. Do you know how to fix this?
You're probably trying to open the Step Sequencer in an audio track. Step Sequencer works with MIDI, so try opening it in a MIDI track or instrument track.
Nicely Explained... we will love to see ur next video... And also if possible, Do a video on Magix Independence free VST It comes with 2GB of free samples, I have watch a video on it on U Tube, but that was in a different language. But at 1st glance, it looks a very nice sounding library.. with Piano ,Acoustic Guitar, Elec. Guitar, & various world percussive instruments.. U can use it's Sounds in this tutorial project also.. And Thanks for all..
Thanks. I have tried that plugin. But it didn't impress me. May be I'll give it a second try some other time. Not sure though. Thanks for the suggestion... 🙂
Can you tell me why when I import an audio file into a cakewalk project track. I get A error message saying Cakewalk is out of memory. I have plenty of ram and plenty of memory. do you know why I'm getting this?
I'm afraid I do not know why his could be happening. May be ask this question in Cakewalk Reddit or, cakewalk forum. 👇 www.reddit.com/r/Cakewalk/ discuss.cakewalk.com/
I cant edit or move My programmed drums when I switch from Sequencer to Piano Roll,I am using sitala.Im using it to make my Drums a Little beat offgrid.
Then its still a Step Sequencer clip. The notes of an SS clip that we see in Piano Roll cannot be edited. Select the SS clip, right click, click "bounce to clips".
I've downloaded sitala exe there is no vst . Cakewalk is not detecting it . Please make a video on how to download sitala and make it work in cakewalk !
The duration knob on sequencer does affect the MIDI. However, you should also make sure the volume release parameter of the amp envelope is quite short.
Hello bro your tutorial is very helpful One question can we open piano roll and draw drum beats for any samples like 808s or hi hat or drum with out sital Because when I load a sample and can't open piano roll for that sample like in fl studio Please help bro
I downloaded the drum plugin (I think it's called Drum 63), bit there is no sequencer that pops up for this drumset ! All the other drum set sequencers work perfectly!, do you know what I'm doing wrong please ?
@@adk_studios yea, see I drag the drumset over into the tracks pane, now normally you just go and right click (in the tracks pane), select edit, view, step sequencer ! , but in my case , I add the drumset, do the above and zero sequencer !, I wouldnalso add that only 2 of those drums work (either on my toneport kb37 / Line 6 or Digitally when I try to listen to the drums by using the mouse) .. so I've also tried upping and downing the "Transpose" function as the drums are sometimes "staggered" across the keys ! But still no luck !
@@musicmanrsa The Step Sequencer not being clickable means it is not an instrument track that is being created. Can you double check if the piano roll is also not available for that track?
Your videos are so helpful! You're going straight to the point and this is really useful. Where did you actually learn all those shortcuts and tips? It would be useful to have some resources to use as a reference. Thank you very much!
We discover a lot of the shortcuts by simply meddling around in softwares. Most of the shortcuts are very similar to any software that works in a timeline format. I do refer this CbB reference guide before making a video on specific topics to make sure I don't miss anything. bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk%20Reference%20Guide.pdf
Till now, I have only used freeware. If you watch my production videos you will get a bunch of free ones. For starters, I would recommend the free FX bundle from Melda productions. It will have everything a typical producer would need. If you need more, a simple search in google or youtube is enough. If its youtube, you can see the demo, & decide if it's actually something you would need.
Also I have another question? So you can export songs right? I've been trying to share my song as an mp3 but idk it won't work so is there another way you can publish your song>?
When I try to re enable the step sequencer its greyed out for some reason what am I doing wrong I can use the piano roll just fine but the damn step sequencer is greyed out
Both Piano Roll and Step Sequencer will be unavailable for audio tracks. They should be available for tracks with the capability to handle MIDI. You sure you are trying to access Step Sequencer in such a track?
In sitala's download page, if you scroll and look around you can still download version 1 which remains free. But anyway, another free alternative similar style sampler would be "Poise Drum Sampler"
I got to go study some more. I think Bandlab makes things a little to complicated always, nothing simple, programing drums then start sequences, why couldn't these things just come in and built in?
You should not be able to edit the MIDI notes in that Piano Roll. You are opening it as a Piano Roll but in actuality, it still is a Step Sequencer. Open the sequencer clip by double clicking it. That should make sure it is open as it is intended.
First of all, FL Studio sequencer is quite unique that, anything you load will give the sequencer input option. The workflow is totally different. But, the one you see here is how the majority of DAWs work. You may ask questions. I'm ready to clarify if you have any

Help! The first "step" on the step sequencer makes no sound for me, with drums or just any instrument and I can't figure why.
It could be because of latency. Try a driver with lower latency.
