Lets say, we have all the drums (kick, snare, cymbals & toms) coming through one single track out. The problem here is that, whatever we do on that track will affect all of the drums. For instance, cymbals tend to be louder than the other drums. So, when we try to reduce its volume to balance it with the other drums, the volume of the other drums will also get reduced. Hence separate tracks needed. Lets take another example which deals with FX. Many times its good to have a little bit of room reverb effect on the drums. But the level of reverb needed for each of the drum instruments could be different. Like, its better to have more reverb on the snare, and little to none on the kick or toms. So, here again, we cannot do that if the reverb can only be inserted on one single track. Having separate tracks gives us more control, and its easier and faster to balance the sounds in the context of the whole project. This will eventually result in better sounding mixes.
@@adk_studios well thanks for that I was kind of noticing, but your explanation makes everything more clear. It’s basically like microphoning each drum instruments, rather than one microphone for the whole drum. Idk haha but thanks. Because some plugins have better kicks or snares, etc than others. One time I saw someone take snare from one plugin, kick from another, and so on, and he added different effect on each one and different volumes. Now with your expo is clear.
Thank you so much!!!! I was so stumped on how to get the drum kit onto the piano roll, you not only saved many MANY hours of searching, but actually stopped me from almost quitting!!!! THANK YOUUUU
Don't know how many I will do. The goal of the series is to help beginners. I know how difficult it can be while starting out. However, the goal of the channel is to inspire.
Just fantastic--very thorough and very useful. This is really useful even for non-beginners. Thanks so much for doing this. 1 question: We're doing rock-style music, and I'm programming drum kits (I mostly use the free Steven Slate Drums for this). My engineer wants a mono track for each drum output, not stereo. Do you find any advantages for creating stereo audio? Thanks!
Many of the samples I use have stereo data in them. So, didn't want to lose them. That is why I always choose stereo. I did try switching kicks in my projects to mono, but it sounded a bit too boomy. That's is all I can say about it. Don't have that much of experience switching between mono & stereo during production
@@adk_studios I'm currently doing everything from MIDI and most synths don't generate stereo. But I hadn't thought about sampling, which (thanks to your videos) I'm going to start. Anyway, great job. Thanks again!
Bro i have installed sitala in cakewalk, when i open it, I am not getting the soft synth options. Please help i tried installing multi times and i still could not find.
Views -> Synth Rack View In the Synth Rack View click the fourth button (Insert Soft Synth Options). You can re-enable "Ask this every time" from that window.
The free sample packs I use are mostly from Cymatics cymatics.fm/pages/free-download-vault A google search - "Free sample pack" can give you even more results
Hello! At 8:52, you mention that there's a way to route the drum outputs to separate tracks when they've already been established, but you skipped over that method. How might you do that? I'm using Drum 64, not sure if that changes things.
Hello from 2024 👋 These tutorials are really really good, they've been wonderfully helpful to me as a beginner to all this. One question - where did you learn all this? I read through the entire 2000 page cakewalk manual but so much of what you're sharing isn't stated there. This is especially true for the apparently famous TTS-1 synth. Anyway, thank you 👏👏👏🤩
Thanks...!!! After watching tutorials I click around more on the topic surrounding that tutorial. Then use the things I figured to make it second nature. Then just before making a video on it, I go through the Cakewalk manual to make sure I cover the topics properly and also, does it without adding any wrong info from my end.
This was very good thank you. Could you maybe try one on drum mapping so I can link my eletric kit to cakewalk and use say addictive drums or even SI-Drums. I can nearly do it, but its not perfect and I cannot work out why.
I enjoyed every single minute of this tutorial, so much appreciated it! I can't configure the Monster Drum v3 from Monster DAW to split in tracks separately. Its the same of Sitala or the SI-Drum? And how i can use every single track like samples clip? To move freely in the grid? Thanks again for the excellent tutorial.
Thanks a lot for this video, I learned everything from this video. You teach excellently. There is a problem. I want to put a sample for example Snare in Sitala and arrange its notes in Piano Roll, but it only gives me one note to arrange. I can't use other notes to create creative trap traps. This is possible in komplete Control, but not in Sitala and in SI dram. There is no solution for this problem? Can't we have a full piano roll for each sample in Sitala or SE Drum? So that we can root out creative and off-the-grid hats and traps? FL Studio's step sequencer allows this because it is a sampler by default. I wish there was a way to have a full piano loop for each of Sitala's samples... Also, I want you to make a complete video about sliding notes for us. I put an 808 sample note above the main note, but it doesn't slide.
Pretty much all the drum samplers that allow us to load multiple samples works like Sitala. As you mentioned, Komplete control, will let you do trap roll hats. Another option is grace sampler. We can even use vital as a sampler. With a little bit of tweaking grace and Vital can be used to make sliding 808s.
@@adk_studios I spoke to the cake walk support I raised all these issues and problems Also a few other things For example, creating a separate piano roll for each sample step sequencer. They were very welcoming and promised to add these items in future updates. In order to slide the notes, you must select legato from the complete control. The problem is solved. Please continue your valuable cakewalk tutorials and leave us videos every week You are an artist with taste.
Question less said you have a song that after the first 2 minutes in you want to change the drums and beats . And tempo and so for how can you do that?
It depends. In CbB, C5 is the note that triggers the sample as it is. If you go above that, the pitch will be increased (sample is played faster increasing its frequency) & if you go down the notes, pitch will also be decreased (sample is played slower decreasing it's frequency) . If you want the sample to sound as if is, its C5. I explain all these in the 4th episode of the series dedicated to samplers.
Try different places on the track. Not every place can be used to move around the track. You can also right-click the track to find "Remove from Folder"
6:10 I added a sound and I'm trying to manipulate it so that it sounds more natural, as if someone was actually playing it in real life. The issue that I'm facing is that despite lowering the velocity, the strength of the sound is still the same. Is it because of the sampler that I'm using? Cause currently I've been using vital as a sampler, but I should probably download a dedicated sampler. Is that why I'm not seeing a difference in pitch when I change the velocity?
Vital works totally fine. In Vital you can see a "VEL TRK" knob for controlling the velocity tracking. Turn it all the way up. To track the pitch, click on the keyboard-like button on the right side of the sampler module.
@@adk_studios thank you so much! It worked :). I also have another question , an issue that I'm facing with cakewalk. Not always but pretty often i go to save a file and when I try to open it the next day, the program gives me a glimpse of what the project is, a tiny preview, and then closes itself and crashes. What might the issue be?
It could be a buggy plugin. I have faced something similar when I used ADSR sample manager. I used it as a sampler. Sometime after, I moved the samples which I used in that project into a different location. When I came back to that project a few days later, it was crashing like you described. So, try to use legit plugins
Hey Adk i have a question i made a folder with sitala but id like to put plugins in for the kick or snare but it wont let me is there a way around it ? I was trying to put the diablo plugin on the kick if that helps
You can add any kind of track into a folder. We can simply drag the track into the folder. But just in case, try right clicking on the track you want to include and select "move to folder".
@@adk_studios that was all my bad hahah 😅 another question is there i time I would want the same plug-in for all the tracks ever or would that mess with the low kicks and high snares, but wouldn't I want the same plug-in so everything sounds similar
Bro I'am facing an issue when I add any synth or sitala i can add it by insert instrument but I cannot find it in plugins section although I already add folder location in preferences and by that I am not able to setup things in soft synth option for sitala. Please help me. ❤
I believe there is an easier way to split the drum notes to individual tracks by using the CAL script "split note to tracks". I figure you already knew this but didn't include it for some reason.
Yea... The reason is that there are multiple notes that can trigger the same drum. The notes are different for side stick & snare. But its the same snare drum. Likewise, the closed hi hat & open hi hat have are triggered by different notes. But they should be on the same track
Any sampler (or VSTi), into which we can load an audio can be used. Like Grace Sampler Komplete Kontrol Vital Sitala Poise Drum Sampler TX 16Wx (All of the above are free)
It is one way... However, keep in mind that the conversion can be really sensitive. Even the tiny bit of pitch variation might be considered during the conversion & it can create additional notes that we might not perceive as actual pitch. I would also suggest verifying it with an app in you phone. There are a lot of tuning plugins you can use for that. I use Vocal pitch monitor on my android phone
u never answer my question i ask if cakewalk could be or is one of the easiest daw to mix in with those style dial fx espically if u dont understand compression u can just insert the max fx for faster mixing ?am i right
First of all. When did you ask a question that I did not answer? I have answered every question that I have gotten notifications for. Second. Use punctuations. At the very least, use full stops to differentiate sentences. Now, to the question. I found Cakewalk to be very good for mixing. Its Pro Channels is one is main highlights. I have not used style dial FX. I didnt get what you mean from there onwards. What is "max fx"????
@@thegamingzone5963 I think, I will cover some of it in episode 9. I'm not sure if I'll go deep into it though. Since I understood the initial question now, I don't think that is the purpose of the max style dial. I need to look into it to make sure.
@@adk_studios ok well make sure to test it and see how easy it is .thank u brother .also i been a cakewalk user since the kinetic days,my first day was kinetic which i bought bak in 2010 around ,didnt understand music theory in those days didnt know where my kinetic went also but am lucky to download bak a free version of it from youtube to keep on my laptop.then i went and get sonar 6 which i never use also then my small brother broke it in half.then i went and get sonar 8 and was able to get a free version of sonar 8.5 because of sonar 8 and i was only recording my vocals with youtube beats with it.still have sonar 8 disk with the case but i think its time to step things up .am happy for this free version ,not gona be wasting anymore time since everything is now on youtube to learn from
I encounter a very weird problem. Maybe somebody has the same issues. I tried everything and looked for solutions online, but I can't drag the MIDI track out of the folder.
You are probably not clicking on the right place, just click on different places on the track. Or, you can right click on the track pane, and there should be an a option to remove it from the folder
@@adk_studios can u do a tutorail on the cakewalk analyst .i think thats the easiest analyst to use because of how u can see where the red markers are but am still lost on how to use it
I made a beat but each time I play it the timing is different, sometimes they're in time with eachother and sometimes not. If someone can explain this I'd be grateful. I have no idea if it's relevant but I don't have an audio interface yet
If you are using samples directly on the clips pane, it could be because of mismatch between bit depth. Go to preferences and make sure its the same everywhere. I prefer it to be 24.
@@adk_studios Audio Driver Bit Depth in Driver Settings is 24, and it says 24 at the top of Cakewalk next to the tempo. So those things aren't the problem but is there anything else I need to do? Update: I've set the Record Bit Depth, Render Bit Depth and Import Bit Depth in Audio Data to 24 as well now but the problem is still there. Is it because I didn't have it set this way to begin with or something?
@@adk_studios Okay, I'll see what I can do. Just to remind that very strangely, you play it one time and it sounds pretty together, but play it again and then it sounds disjointed. It's pretty random how together it sounds each time. I very much appreciate you replying and trying to help. Right now I've no idea how I'll resolve this issue
@@adk_studios I've just looked and apparently my Cakewalk right now is set in such a way that I can't adjust the buffer size in Driver Settings. I hope someone out there knows the cause of this weird problem :p

Any sampler (or VSTi), into which we can load an audio can be used. Like
Grace Sampler
Komplete Kontrol
Vital
Sitala
Poise Drum Sampler
TX 16Wx
(All of the above are free)
can u do a vid on how to strum the easy and fast way like in fl studio
ok nvm i seen it after finish watchin the vid
Haha... Awesome.!
thanks
Hello I just downloaded but I’m having trouble hearing my audio can’t hear nothing
Check your settings in the preferences.
You might find the first video in the series useful
I did drag the samples to midi track. And it's showing the note. Is this the correct way to find the pitch of samples?
It is one way...
However, keep in mind that the conversion can be really sensitive. Even the tiny bit of pitch variation might be considered during the conversion & it can create additional notes that we might not perceive as actual pitch.
I would also suggest verifying it with an app in you phone. There are a lot of tuning plugins you can use for that. I use Vocal pitch monitor on my android phone
Hey can u make a review of surge XT it's a. New version of surge
I don't know man. Reviewing is not my thing.
To review something, I should have a good knowledge of the stuff
Yeah u can make a different video for surge XT with its features and doing some sound design on it and giving the advantages of using surge XT
May be
bro you should really use a Drum Map
downloaded the sample pack but cakewalk tells me the format of the sample pack is not supported.. i’m lost
That should not be happening. Can you elaborate with more details of the sample and the message CbB is showing?
u never answer my question i ask if cakewalk could be or is one of the easiest daw to mix in with those style dial fx espically if u dont understand compression u can just insert the max fx for faster mixing ?am i right
First of all. When did you ask a question that I did not answer? I have answered every question that I have gotten notifications for.
Second. Use punctuations. At the very least, use full stops to differentiate sentences.
Now, to the question.
I found Cakewalk to be very good for mixing. Its Pro Channels is one is main highlights.
I have not used style dial FX.
I didnt get what you mean from there onwards. What is "max fx"????
@@adk_studioslol max is one of the dial fx in the style dial fx menu .u have to do a tutorial on those tho , .it will be fun for others to know about.
@@thegamingzone5963
I think, I will cover some of it in episode 9.
I'm not sure if I'll go deep into it though.
Since I understood the initial question now, I don't think that is the purpose of the max style dial.
I need to look into it to make sure.
@@adk_studios ok well make sure to test it and see how easy it is .thank u brother .also i been a cakewalk user since the kinetic days,my first day was kinetic which i bought bak in 2010 around ,didnt understand music theory in those days didnt know where my kinetic went also but am lucky to download bak a free version of it from youtube to keep on my laptop.then i went and get sonar 6 which i never use also then my small brother broke it in half.then i went and get sonar 8 and was able to get a free version of sonar 8.5 because of sonar 8 and i was only recording my vocals with youtube beats with it.still have sonar 8 disk with the case but i think its time to step things up .am happy for this free version ,not gona be wasting anymore time since everything is now on youtube to learn from
Yea.
Better late than never
I encounter a very weird problem. Maybe somebody has the same issues.
I tried everything and looked for solutions online, but I can't drag the MIDI track out of the folder.
You are probably not clicking on the right place, just click on different places on the track.
Or, you can right click on the track pane, and there should be an a option to remove it from the folder
Adk, I'm not getting how to make a beat. I don't know the right clip pane to place my snare, kicks and others. It's producing rubbish.
Can you elaborate more on what you are doing?
ok i see how u dun it now .think i hav to unlink to add drum fill where i want the seperation to happen
You can also convert it into a normal MIDI clip like I did with the SI Drum Kit.
@@adk_studios can u do a tutorail on the cakewalk analyst .i think thats the easiest analyst to use because of how u can see where the red markers are but am still lost on how to use it
@@adk_studios ok
Analyst? Red Markers?
@@adk_studios where the red lines are mabe those are the bad frequencies .when u see the lines are red ?
I made a beat but each time I play it the timing is different, sometimes they're in time with eachother and sometimes not. If someone can explain this I'd be grateful. I have no idea if it's relevant but I don't have an audio interface yet
If you are using samples directly on the clips pane, it could be because of mismatch between bit depth.
Go to preferences and make sure its the same everywhere.
I prefer it to be 24.
@@adk_studios Audio Driver Bit Depth in Driver Settings is 24, and it says 24 at the top of Cakewalk next to the tempo. So those things aren't the problem but is there anything else I need to do?
Update: I've set the Record Bit Depth, Render Bit Depth and Import Bit Depth in Audio Data to 24 as well now but the problem is still there. Is it because I didn't have it set this way to begin with or something?
@@striverfor7628
Could be.
In addition to that, experiment with buffer size in the driver settings (in preferences)
@@adk_studios Okay, I'll see what I can do. Just to remind that very strangely, you play it one time and it sounds pretty together, but play it again and then it sounds disjointed. It's pretty random how together it sounds each time.
I very much appreciate you replying and trying to help. Right now I've no idea how I'll resolve this issue
@@adk_studios I've just looked and apparently my Cakewalk right now is set in such a way that I can't adjust the buffer size in Driver Settings. I hope someone out there knows the cause of this weird problem :p
One year later. Still helpful. THX. SUB+ & LIKE :)
So glad to read...!
I don't have this. I only have a crappy drum
Either install VST drums plugins or use drum sample packs. The following videos should help

Yahoo 1st comment
🎉Haha
Thanks for the support...!
You go way too fast not even showing what you are clicking on., Explain where you are going to get the tool you are using.
I've been using TH-cam for 40hrs a week for 10 years. If you want to learn, your in the wrong place. You think every private school and collage would let youtube show what they're doing for free? No. Its just all bs on here. Learning yourself if a trap.
It might have been probably mentioned in a previous video in my Cakewalk series. If you don't want to go through the previous videos, shoot the questions here with time stamps.
@koltonriley5929
1. Bruh..., TH-cam tutorials literally helped me get good grades in Engineering College.
2. Three years ago, I got interested in music production because of TH-cam Videos. Started learning from them and now I make a living from music.
I made it a point to not repeat the things which were already discussed in detail in the previous videos in the series (linked in video description).
If you have any questions on this particular video, just ask, I shall clarify it
look at all the suff you have. and take for granted... i thought this was a beginer tutorial, i don't have any of those whatever they are.. just a bloody waste of my time coming here
What do you mean, "all the stuff"?
@@adk_studios vst files you've got that are not in my basic cakewalk ... so I can't do or follow your very brisk run through, which is
annoying (both?).. advertised as a absolute beginner course .. as your larder is much better stocked than my absolute beginner DAW new download from bandlab.
Oh haha...
In the very beginning of the video, it was mentioned that this video is part of a tutorial series. Each video covers different topics. This one is the seventh one in the series. VST installation was covered in detail in the second one. Here it is, just in case.

Why a robot for a turorial.....smh.
to fast and not logic, sorry, you must be in a hurry...
It is possible to reduce the playback speed in youtube.
But what do you mean by "not logic"?
@@adk_studios When it goes i 180 mph and fast talking it is not clear for an novice to se where you where in the screen and where you are going. I tryed to pause a lot of times, but that was no help. Try to slow down an realise thet people in need of your help is not an expert in Cakewalk. In 1/4 of your speed it might be logic and understndeble. Sorry to say so...slow down, pause, talk slowly, maybe use anothe curser would help a lot. just saying...
Thanks for the feedback...
Thank you 🙏 dude
