I'm switching Daw coming from FL Studio, because Cakewalk has that integrated console channel strip I really want to use. I'm not a newbie but when you switch there are lot's how to do this how to do that moments, so I was looking for detailed tutorials stright to the point and I found yours. Difference with you and others is you ARE a Musician that happens to have a youtube channel, most of others are youtubers trying to looks like musicians but lacking raw talent AND workflow. Yours ars the best Cakewalk tutorials on the net. No doubts!
This is exactly what stumped me from creating the song in my head last week after the first two videos. I was like “I hope the next one goes over samples” 😭 thanks for reading my mind!! (Note: edited for clarity)
This video actually does not explain sampling. Sampling is the process of recording real life instruments or sounds to make samples. I should have mentioned the word while I brushed through 'recording' in the intro section. 😑
You are definately a really great teacher ,just exploring music and i wanted some simple tutorial to learn basic.... Your tutorial really helped ,the content,the shortcut keys,workflow,etc Everything is just perfect to understand❤❤
This tutorial is so good! I installed Cakewalk like 2 years ago but couldn't find a good tutorial, so I just kinda gave up trying to learn how to make music. But now with this tutorial there's still hope that I can finally learn to make music!
If anyone is an absolute beginner like me, this is the Video for You! Tipp: Grap Pen and Paper and write down the aproximatley 10 Shortcuts he mentions!
Thank you for the tutorial. I learned a lot of things here! Great stuff! Will have to rewatch to make sure I understand everything. You are very clear in your explanations and tour calm voice is soothing. I am subscribed now!
I just started to use cakewalk to make 80's style synth music (I am 54 yo guy) and this is gold for me. Please do continue to make detailed guides like this. Love it.
Very useful. I used Cakewalk when it was called Sonar, about ten years ago, and only recently came back to it. Your video was a nice refresher. I had forgotten so much!
This is extremely helpful. You sure don't slow down for newbies, but that's nice. Cause we can watch as often as we want. And replay parts we don't get right away. Your use of shortcuts really shows what a time saver they can be. Great job AdK.
You're very welcome! I like were not a single second is wasted. That's why I myself pack the videos tightly as possible. However, taking in all the feedback, I am thinking of slowing down...
@@adk_studios My advice, don't slow down. Your videos stand out because they're quick, concise and full of content. Each user has full control of pause and rewind.

Dude I think you've got everything to make a master piece now...its been a long time since make a cinematic music. I suggest a marvel type hero theme...please sir

sick im new to cakewalk fl studio and reaper cant even set things in time that fast wow.and what realy sick all the samples was n0t made in the same bpm wow. i been won cakewalk rocks
I myself do not have that much of a music theory. So, I would say, I'm more of a music producer, than a musician. I can make quite decent music by making use of several recourses (especially google) to make some decent music. But, if you want to really reach to the listeners heart, knowing a bit of theory can help. Its like, we all can draw with pencil on paper. But, it won't be even close to the likes of Piccasso or any famous artist of the modern time. The good thing is, learning production will also fuel your theory learning. It will happen side by side. For learning music theory, just google music theory for beginners or something. For starters, look up Guy Michelmore on youtube. Good luck
I'm a musician learning production now, and theory definitely is not a requirement to get started. Although knowing it dramatically speeds up the musical process, and it allows you to develop and communicate more complex ideas, so highly recommended on my behalf
Hi, thank you very much for your teaching, which has benefited me so much!! In addition, I would like to ask, the audio pitch can be raised and lowered in the video, "Then how to directly assign a certain audio to a certain pitch?" (Because there is no Know what the original pitch is, so want to go directly to the desired pitch) Thank you for the above questions!!

Hey, I'm trying to find a tutorial on how one could use one shot kits on cakewalk, and if you do use one shots in your production, could you please share some of the ways you would typically use it without limiting creativity? Thank you.

Really wish cakewalk was similar to FL studio where you can add the drum sounds to a sequencer and button press where you want everything to play. That's the only criticism I have for this DAW so far. i.e being able to assign specific (and multiple) different drum sounds to a midi controller and play them in real time recorded onto a track. Unless I'm wrong and missing something?
The FL Sequencer is something quite unique. Kinda good for making quick drum patterns, but a hindrance for other things IMO. In most cases, other DAWs will have some way of implementing this. In CbB, its called Step Sequencer. Here is the video if you want to check that out th-cam.com/video/O5_Zkkd2Jlo/w-d-xo.html
@@adk_studios ok thanks so much!! I will save the link! So after 1.5 years you already learned to produce like a pro. You just searched for info online and learned by yourself? Because is quite impressive if you did so!
A lot of it is self learning. I have 2 friends who produce music. Sometimes I ask them my doubts & they clarify it. I mostly ask feedback from one of them & he tells me whats lacking in the production & things like that. So if anything turns out good, his mentoring plays a major role in it.

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial series. Question about loop samples.. you say they are suppose to be around 4 bars yet I have tons of loop samples from splice that are far more than 4 bars. For example there's one that's 30 & 1/2. How do I know how to stretch it to match the bpm if a lot more than 4 bars?
Usually melody loops tend to have bars in multiples of 4. Makes it easier to fit a sample into the project. However there are melody samples that are not exactly in 4 bar lengths. If you have a sample that is too long, then u can play and count 4 bars of the sample, slit it there, then fit the 4 bar sample into 4 bars in the project, then expand it back. Thats how I do it
Heya @adk_studios, quick question: do you have a recommendation for replacement of the Drip samples? I realize that for this it's not extremely important, but it seems there are no more licenses available for the Drip pack and thus I am unable to download. I am trying to avoid downloading too many sample packs for now as I am just beginning and would like to save some time looking through a lot of samples to more or less match the examples shown in this video. Thanks in advance! :)
Since Drip is a sample pack towards trap music, here are some of their other options cymatics.fm/blogs/production/free-trap-drum-kits-the-ultimate-list
Thanks for the tutorial! I notice when I duplicate my drum beats, there is a very loud click between loops. Any idea how I can fix this? (if it isn't obvious I'm a complete novice)
Try varying the 'buffer size' which can be found in preferences -> 'Driver settings'. If you can't adjust that, change 'Diver Mode' under 'Playback and Recording'. Use MEE or the WASAPI drivers
Bro how have you downloaded all the sample packs ? I tried to download the packs from the link you provided but now they are not been shown in the cakewalk in the sample packs ? Please help me!!
@@adk_studios bro the issue was resolved. Thanks for the help! And if you can provide the most important shortcuts of bandlab,it will be very helpful for us !
Your content is wonderful!!! Could you please make a video on free vst instruments and effects that you use. And Thanks for your wonderful videos that helped with my music production.......
Thanks. I usually don't make "free VST" videos because there are already a lot of videos on that. I might do some in the future. But not right now. I focus on production with free stuff. You can find those videos in my music production playlist (linked in description).
Hey, how to use AUTO TUNE GRAPH MODE in Cakewalk shows up on region fx but does not track there's only silence, also rx 11 shows up but you can't use it. help, please!
Hi, so I tried looking for the sampler packs folder you have shown in the video, but I can't seem to find it. I also do not have that soft drive of yours that is on your PC. DO I need that? or do I need to download some samples first?
Sir what I wanted to know is that The Cymatics sample pack you are using in this video is free or paid?? Coz if it is free then how do I download since I am having trouble to find the exact one. Also your tutorial playlist is super informative and helpful, Thanks for making such content.
I am a bit confused about how to start making an EDM song I have studied about basic topics to advance but how can I start making a song and which is better step seq or wave file for beats
ADK bro I just want to tell you that I have find a solution to my audio to midi conversion there is waebsite called audio to midi converter which convert audio to midi in seconds and a very special thanks to u as u were there for me in my tough times so thank u bro so much
I like your videos and try of learn with it. Sir I have purchased a USB microphone (Rode NT USB mini) before six month back, and started vocal recording with Karaoke tracks in Cakewalk. My question is if I plan to buy a new Audio Interface and a Condenser/Dynamic mic (in the budget 20 thousand including both) then what will it be the possibility of change in recording quality as : 1. Same as it is 2. Slightly better 3. Huge difference in output. Pl. clarify it. Thanks Bhushan Londhey
This is something, that I can't answer. I don't have any experience with recording using better a mic. Nor do I have an interface or soundcard. However, I do think it would definitely be better. Also, it would be better to ask this question in a video on recording and vocals. It does not matter if its not Cakewalk
i tried following the instructions. I could not find the VST folder to move the Orilver Plugin to. Also, when playing back the audio loops there's a crackling sound. I have been using soundlab all this time but I want to "graduate" to Cakewalk
The crackling sound might be because of Buffer Size. You can set an appropriate buffer size in preferences-> audio driver section. There should be a VST Plugins folder. Try searching it up in windows explorer. If nothing shows up, make one, and add that directory in Cakewalk VST paths section
hey this samples can be used for comercial purpose? how do i know if i can use a sample pack for comercial use? i have found some packs but the page do not say anything about copyrights
The term(s) that you need to look for is "royalty free". This is what you should look for from websites that give samples for production. The samples I linked are all like that, but you need to get a license (free) from this page. cymatics.fm/pages/free-sample-packs-license-agreement However, remember, you are not the only one getting these for free. So, if you intend to use melody loops, alter it in a way that it will not be recognizable. Who knows, if someone might have used the sample & uploaded into some content ID system.
Thank you very much for this tutorial! But is there way to record playing on midi keyboard some short sound sample where the pitch of that sample should also change according by pressing the key on piano? In other words is there way to setup cakewalk to play on midi keyboard with own sound sample? ( want to record melody where i control custom sound by pitch through midi keyboard) I beg your pardon for my poor english
Need 3-4 separate sessions for Instrument, Plugins, VSTs, Samples, Sound Modes and few more (like default, TTS). It has been great sofar. But the way these elements connect is hard to follow. Thanks,
What if I have a Midi song and want to replace tracks/channels with new sets of instument, what are the steps to replace instument or use new sample that needs to synch the tempo and position? Thanks,
(As of now) I'm afraid I do not know if we can export all of the MIDI into a songle file. I save the MIDI as separate files and load them to their respective individual tracks one by one.
@@adk_studios Namaste, Hi Thanks for trying to response with my questions. My problems is about Plugins vs PATCHES that are Cakewalk INSTRUMENT defaults. Right now when I opened a Midi files that was created by other programs, I have to assign a Patch of instrument in order to hear a tone. Not the perfect one but enough to hear the whole song. I can balance Volume of each Track and modify the Velocities of notes within. No patch if it is a Drum but has to send to Channel-10. The process of assigning Channel is a little complicate but I can work it out. Then come the plug-ins and SAMPLEs of instrument. My question is, how can I replace each Patch of a track with simlar Plugin or Sample? This must not be from adding new track, assign INSTRUMENT from Plugins or Sample then cut and paste notes into it.
Watch all the videos in the this series. A lot of your questions will get answered. The answer for the particular question you asked in this comment will get answered in video #4 & #6. th-cam.com/play/PLWrEj8vjQQuuWOFepN-6PiD59thD7lD64.html
@@justanothercuriouscat Google & TH-cam. Search free drum samples When you visit the downlad sites, just make sure they are also specified as royalty free.
is good what you did my respects and seems easy to do but i don understand why cakewalk dont created a tool like FL studio to play more easy the samples
I think you are referring to the sampler in FL. At the moment Cakewalk does not have any built-in sampler. We can install one though. Its all explained in the next video of the series (linked in desc). Users have been requesting a built in sampler for CbB. So, I think a sampler might eventually get added into CbB.
I am Lakshya from India making own song for international teacher's day, but sir I have not a very good storage in my laptop. Which vet's I should install which are necessary for me to create it and what all stuff along with vst and samples are required to create a beautiful song. I have written down my own song dedicated to teachers and after 2 weeks my half yearly also to be held, I have to create it as soon as possible. Love from India. And also, In which country do you belong. I also wanna say you that I am very much interested in music but my parents say only study as it is 9th this year. Hope you will clarify my query as soon as possible. Thank you sir Today I will be downloading all the stuff so please tell me Also tell the time of India just now. 14:21 also pl tell the time of your country at which I commented you Please tell me as soon as possible😄😄
The same time as yours. 'cus I'm also an Indian, from Kerala. About VSTs, CbB has all the FX plugins that you need for mixing. What you need are instrument plugins. What you need will depend on what sound you want. Lets say you need piano. Then you can search "free piano vst" in youtube. Then get the one that sounds the way you want.

I focus on production with free stuff. You can find those videos in my music production playlist (linked in description).
Ok...
Hey, how to use AUTO TUNE GRAPH MODE in Cakewalk
shows up on region fx but does not track there's only silence, also rx 11 shows up but you can't use it. help, please!
Hi, so I tried looking for the sampler packs folder you have shown in the video, but I can't seem to find it. I also do not have that soft drive of yours that is on your PC. DO I need that? or do I need to download some samples first?
Download sample packs. Check the description of the video for links where you can find them
My god this videos are so helpful!
Sir what I wanted to know is that The Cymatics sample pack you are using in this video is free or paid??
Coz if it is free then how do I download since I am having trouble to find the exact one. Also your tutorial playlist is super informative and helpful, Thanks for making such content.
Thanks.
About the sample pack, I think its not free anymore
I am a bit confused about how to start making an EDM song I have studied about basic topics to advance but how can I start making a song and which is better step seq or wave file for beats
We will come to that topic after 1 video
ADK bro I just want to tell you that I have find a solution to my audio to midi conversion there is waebsite called audio to midi converter which convert audio to midi in seconds and a very special thanks to u as u were there for me in my tough times so thank u bro so much
May I know which site it is?
I like your videos and try of learn with it. Sir I have purchased a USB microphone (Rode NT USB mini) before six month back, and started vocal recording with Karaoke tracks in Cakewalk. My question is if I plan to buy a new Audio Interface and a Condenser/Dynamic mic (in the budget 20 thousand including both) then what will it be the possibility of change in recording quality as : 1. Same as it is 2. Slightly better 3. Huge difference in output.
Pl. clarify it.
Thanks
Bhushan Londhey
This is something, that I can't answer. I don't have any experience with recording using better a mic. Nor do I have an interface or soundcard.
However, I do think it would definitely be better.
Also, it would be better to ask this question in a video on recording and vocals. It does not matter if its not Cakewalk
It's going to improve your recording quality and experience by a LOT.
i tried following the instructions. I could not find the VST folder to move the Orilver Plugin to. Also, when playing back the audio loops there's a crackling sound. I have been using soundlab all this time but I want to "graduate" to Cakewalk
The crackling sound might be because of Buffer Size.
You can set an appropriate buffer size in preferences-> audio driver section.
There should be a VST Plugins folder. Try searching it up in windows explorer. If nothing shows up, make one, and add that directory in Cakewalk VST paths section
Please do next. Waiting for that
Yep. It won't take long
@@adk_studios tank you very much
hey this samples can be used for comercial purpose?
how do i know if i can use a sample pack for comercial use? i have found some packs but the page do not say anything about copyrights
The term(s) that you need to look for is "royalty free". This is what you should look for from websites that give samples for production.
The samples I linked are all like that, but you need to get a license (free) from this page. cymatics.fm/pages/free-sample-packs-license-agreement
However, remember, you are not the only one getting these for free. So, if you intend to use melody loops, alter it in a way that it will not be recognizable. Who knows, if someone might have used the sample & uploaded into some content ID system.
Thank you very much for this tutorial!
But is there way to record playing on midi keyboard some short sound sample where the pitch of that sample should also change according by pressing the key on piano? In other words is there way to setup cakewalk to play on midi keyboard with own sound sample? ( want to record melody where i control custom sound by pitch through midi keyboard)
I beg your pardon for my poor english
Watch the next video from the video description.
Then later on, you can refer video 10 of the series if you need to figure out recording MIDI
when you clicked on the kicks folder, an image of a kick drum popped up... how did you do that please. 2:42
Thats edited in video 😅
Your truly amazing
ooo thx this "smart grid" things annoyed me so much :O
Haha. It did to me as well. Sometimes it has a mind of its own 😅
Is the Drip you are using free? I can't seem to find it in the free downloads in the link u provided.
Drip used to be free.
Cymatics might have removed it. Its a very old pack
Need 3-4 separate sessions for Instrument, Plugins, VSTs, Samples, Sound Modes and few more (like default, TTS). It has been great sofar. But the way these elements connect is hard to follow. Thanks,
I'm not sure if this is a question...
@@adk_studios It's a request.
What if I have a Midi song and want to replace tracks/channels with new sets of instument, what are the steps to replace instument or use new sample that needs to synch the tempo and position? Thanks,
(As of now) I'm afraid I do not know if we can export all of the MIDI into a songle file.
I save the MIDI as separate files and load them to their respective individual tracks one by one.
@@adk_studios Namaste, Hi Thanks for trying to response with my questions. My problems is about Plugins vs PATCHES that are Cakewalk INSTRUMENT defaults. Right now when I opened a Midi files that was created by other programs, I have to assign a Patch of instrument in order to hear a tone. Not the perfect one but enough to hear the whole song. I can balance Volume of each Track and modify the Velocities of notes within. No patch if it is a Drum but has to send to Channel-10. The process of assigning Channel is a little complicate but I can work it out. Then come the plug-ins and SAMPLEs of instrument. My question is, how can I replace each Patch of a track with simlar Plugin or Sample? This must not be from adding new track, assign INSTRUMENT from Plugins or Sample then cut and paste notes into it.
u's a king

Cymatics no longer seems to have the Drip pack. Any advise where I can download good drum samples?
But they still offer a lot of free stuff...
cymatics.fm/pages/free-download-vault
@@adk_studios I agree! I downloaded tons of samples already! Any advise where I can get drum samples?
@@justanothercuriouscat
Google & TH-cam. Search
free drum samples
When you visit the downlad sites, just make sure they are also specified as royalty free.
is good what you did my respects and seems easy to do but i don understand why cakewalk dont created a tool like FL studio to play more easy the samples
I think you are referring to the sampler in FL.
At the moment Cakewalk does not have any built-in sampler.
We can install one though. Its all explained in the next video of the series (linked in desc).
Users have been requesting a built in sampler for CbB. So, I think a sampler might eventually get added into CbB.
I am Lakshya from India making own song for international teacher's day, but sir I have not a very good storage in my laptop.
Which vet's I should install which are necessary for me to create it and what all stuff along with vst and samples are required to create a beautiful song. I have written down my own song dedicated to teachers and after 2 weeks my half yearly also to be held, I have to create it as soon as possible.
Love from India.
And also, In which country do you belong.
I also wanna say you that I am very much interested in music but my parents say only study as it is 9th this year. Hope you will clarify my query as soon as possible. Thank you sir
Today I will be downloading all the stuff so please tell me

Please tell me as soon as possible😄😄
I will refer your video it I would be facing any kind of problem
Not it auto correct its 'if'
The same time as yours. 'cus I'm also an Indian, from Kerala.
About VSTs, CbB has all the FX plugins that you need for mixing. What you need are instrument plugins.
What you need will depend on what sound you want. Lets say you need piano. Then you can search "free piano vst" in youtube. Then get the one that sounds the way you want.
@@adk_studios i am from Kanpur, Uttar pradesh,
i am making a song for international teacher's day and wanna almost all the basic instruments. i cannot trust anyone as I have tried to download a vst for guitar and to proceed it was paid but it was showing to as free.

How you make what you clik in keyboard and make it on video ,do you type it manually?
I don't add anything. Its a software that overlays the keystrokes on the screen.
Where are download you free samples?
Check the video description
Thank you!
When I click on a .mid file on the browser it does not play the preview sound. I tried it on a .wav file and it previews it no problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
First you need to have an instrument through which you want to preview the MIDI.
Then, on top of the CbB Browser, Click
Media > Synth Preview Output
@@adk_studios Thanks! will try this now.
How do I play the samples with a midi device like a keyboard, or pads?
