I'm really new to making music and I'm definitely jumping the gun getting into vocals but this was awesome. Love all of the tips and details. I didn't even know about the multiple 'take' tracks you can kindve splice to get the best sound. Also thank you for the tempo tips cause I've seen several videos and never noticed how important that could be in the beginning
No problem... Thank you for watching... I try to give as much details as possible to help people get going with what they are trying to do... Let me know if you have questions..😀🙏🏾
Bro, I love your channel! Great stuff. TIP: Cakewalk will auto-calculate any tempo for an audio drum loop wave file. Simple drag the clip up into the timeline. Let Cakewalk analyze it and the tempo is automatically updated to the audio loop's tempo. Be blessed man!
Yea that clip looping stuff doesnt really work for me.. I would rather move it manually.. It sounds better when I stretch it to tempo so that it keeps the original sound and pitch... Thanks for the tips and comment..😄🙏
Thanks! I have been using CK for about 2 years now, but always for just my instrumental project. I just bought a condenser mic and this tutorial got me started with vocals in no time at all.... Big thanks bro! ✌
Hey man thanks for watching... Can't wait to hear what you make.... You should join the discord and put some music in the share your music section... discord.gg/bZBSW9xS2A
I've been looking for this for a video on this for a while now..newly started recording myself, still learning..just used to put the headsets on and let the producer's do their thang..this was helpful top G..thank you..
Yessir show how you make it a full song. Generally, videos that show the whole process of making the song, like 1)recording session 2)edits and mixing 3)mastering. That would be dope. Thanks for the great content!
I have been thinking about that but it would take alot of time and be a series of some sort a lot of work.. So we shall see... Thanks for the comment...
There is a shortage on that in every DAW video.. I can take hrs to get things the way you want it when recording a song then mixing it can take several hrs at a time.. Its not an easy task to explain or do thats why many people dont.. But we shall see...
Oh yeah, we want to hear that track and an instrumental PLEASE?!! I think everybody got inspired hearing that track! Gr8 stuff man. Cakewalk seems pretty easy and intuitive.
If you want the stems and the beat I included it in this video... th-cam.com/video/fQAfG-OXwEY/w-d-xo.html I had a remix contest you can use the beat or the vocals to learn how to mix on any daw.. So have fun..😄🙏 and the track is out on all major platforms use this link to hear it on your favorite platform.. distrokid.com/hyperfollow/xelohh/can-u-see-my-footsteps
This is very nice work enkoy watching this you doing great don't be to shy beat maker turns to allstar rapper nice looks good yeah we want to see the full making off the song 🙌👌👍
I think mixing is the hardest thing to teach... Its something that you hear in a song that cannot be properly explained no 2 engineers will mix the same way or use the same tools every song is different.. It all about preference some people will say you have to have Wave plugins.. Or izotope is the best.. Or you cant mix with out Fabfilter plugins... You need to cop Slate digital plugins... This is all preference.. But I will see what I can do because this is a big subject and hard to explain and it matters what the artist wants what genre you are working in to autotune.. Not to autotune.. So yea its a big one..lol..
@3:07 - To turn down the volume of a track imported into Cakewalk, you turn down the gain knob at the top of the console, you don't use the volume fader on the track. You only use that track fader when adjusting the volume while recording a track. Very nice video though.
Thanks for the comment.... You are right I could use the gain knob for gain staging but you can use your faders for that as well.. There is no wrong way to do things like leveling as long as you get the result you want...😄🙏
Starting off the morning right wit a coffee and some knowledge!! 🙏🏽💪🏽 keep em comming brother damn i aint know u rapped like that.. Love watching ur content bro .. I try other channels but they aint for me mfs teachin how to hook up guitars and shit lol
Lol... Yea thanks for watching... The DAW was not catered to hip hop .. Edm.. Rnb producers it was more fore bands so you will find more of those types of videos.. Thanks for watching ... Yea I use to rap all thr time but slowed down after all of the mumble raps.. Lol.. Thanks for the comment..😄🙏
@@XELOhh1 damn i aint know that .. So should i still use this one ? You shudda never stopped rapping bro.. Its never to late now that ur getting attention start puttin out music 🎶 but you are right tho.. i rap myself .. like If i put out some lyrical ass hip hop shit i get no love .. then mfs that rap about pills get hella love lol wtf
Please finish it through! Would be invaluable education! Not to mention I wanna hear the other bars! I'm subscribed and three videos in and already this is the most I've learned!!
Thats whats up... The song is out on all major platforms now.. If you wanna check out the finished product... The song is called Can U See My Footsteps ... 😄🙏
Awesome Brutha!! Very informative and the clip you put together is dope. Yes Sir! 🎧Just gettin familiar with Cakewalk. Bin using an older version of Garage Band. Upgraded to a Window's desktop. Now I'm ready to dig in. Thanks for this.
I have the dinosaur versio of Cakewalk and was running into latency bad on old computer. You just tuned me into this newer one and I'm going to get it now. Great step by step. I learned a few things on the new version too. Nice rap. Not my style but I think its really good.
I don't use this DAW but I found this video so interesting, I can't see your footsteps but I can see my like in this video, greetings man you have done such a good job.
No problem... If you want to do a step by step i have a contest im doing and it has the stem files included.. th-cam.com/video/fQAfG-OXwEY/w-d-xo.html And if you want you can enter the contest as well.. Thanks for watching.. And let me know if you have any questions.. 😄🙏
Great work. Thanks for clearing up the voice recording part. Can I record an acoustic guitar like that using a Piezo? Or do I need different settings? Thanks again.

You can download the trial version of FL Studio and it comes will the FL Studio ASIO for free... you can also use FL Studio inside of Cakewalk I have a video showing how to do that as well.. hope this helps... let me know if you have questions...😀🙏🏾
My son voice recordings is sped up, we both don’t know nothing about it but can you guys help? We use the beat & it sound right but the vocals are sped up for some reason
Thanks a lot bro you helped me to understand it better since I download cakewalk a week ago I don't pay pro tools no mind lol to me cakewalk have more things to do
Hi X, if you'd record in 24 Bit you'd have much more dynamics in your recordings (and less noise at the bottom). Have you ever tried to get the tempo using Audio Snap? "Best Practice" available? ;-)
Another way the find the tempo in Cakewalk is to select track, go to view menu, select AudioSnap, hit the one button it will turn orange and the tempo will appear in the "Average Tempo window on the Audio snap pane.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm really new to recording on my own and this is extremely helpful. I know you said with vocal volume, you like to keep it under 12 to avoid clipping, but I was wondering if you have an suggestions/recommendations on how to do that? I've been playing a little bit with compressors but I clip constantly.
That means it's to high if it's clipping try to stay below the yellow this is called gain staging .. like I said in the video for the best results you should be around that -12 db to be safe if you feel the vocals are low in the head phones turn the volume of the head phones up not the input signal.. sometimes this may require a head phone amp to turn up the volume without change what being recorded... Hope this help.. let me know if you have questions
