Will.

I myself create HipHop and EDM daily in Cakewalk. It's only if I have a client sitting next to me and request to using a DAW they're familiar with to help with idea's they want for their instrumental tracks -- but when I'm all by myself, I use cakewalk. Yeah, of course external plugins will be required to create a certain sound which is extra work, but hey 12 years in the making using cakewalk, I know my way around the DAW. Here's another (What I think will be a great solution for developments.) Idea I've posted. Check it out and maybe help adding to the idea. It might caught someone's attention on the Dev team if we keep it alive. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/21193-mobile-app/

Even a "flat list" for the category list and sub-menu will be acceptable. It will eliminate that torture of mouse click, if the list get out of memory and stretched out.

Hi Forum owners and members. I love this forum, it's a great educational platform on all things related to Cakewalk and music in general. I think we need to turn this into a mobile app and use it's revenue from all downloads and app usage to create new FX/instrument plugins for the DAW and more. I think it will make a great investment on future builds. The biggest mobile users today is your youth. You will then have your Bandlab Users and Cakewalk users joining in on the hype and sharing music on the mobile app. We can then link the mobile app to a new category on the forum right here to download or Stream their tracks/albums from the Mobile App, but need to think revenue wise with this.

Been trying to help with this for a while now, but it falls on deaf ears. If you don't at least get a 10+ positive review, it's bye-bye idea. I work with the major genre's that the youth creates today on a daily basis. So, I know what's needed to get the youth to migrate over, but you can only do so much, if the senior members of the community on the forum don't find the request useful. The genre's these youth create, don't require them to use articulation maps. A few in the class I give said, the Arranger is "useless" too. I guess the Aim is more on classical music for Cakewalk. Although you can create any form of music in Cakewalk, it's main Aim is classical music. Which doesn't make sense seeing that it's free and more youth are downloading it, but as soon as hey discover it's limitation for EDM, HipHop, House and Dance, they move back to their piracy habits.

Cakewalk had one, It was called"Dropzone." I guess they dont own the license to it. Just like "True Piano" that used to come with Studio Instruments.

If a new feature such as the Arranger and the recent "Dynamic waveform" can be done, surely this can be coded in as well. There's progress bars all over in Cakewalk. Windows allow this all over their platform.

Peace and tranquility. Woo-Za!

Hey bakers. First of all, can we add the feature to insert an Aux Track from anywhere in the Console view and track view where there's an empty space. Secondly: Can we please make it possible to route an Aux track input to Audio Tracks for when we work with samples please. This is currently only possible with instrument tracks. I know we can use patch points for this too, but having the ability to route directly to Audio tracks has it's own advantage. 1: Another form of direct routing. 2: It's great for direct sidechain too. 3: Great for sound creation/Shape. 4: Another form of direct parallel compression or for Wet and Dry balance. 5: It's a direct pre-fader effect. 6: It does not amplify the signal as what a send fader does, by sending a copy to the aux track. I know you can just route the output to the Aux Track, but this is just sending the track to an aux so the entire signal gets affected when you do some tweaks. To demonstrate what I mean - create an instrument track. 2: Next to it, add an Audio track and route the input of that Audio track to the Instrument track -- "Ta-da!" you've just created your own side-chain track. Now you can lower the fader of your instrument track and it wont be affected. If this can added to Aux tracks to route audio tracks that way when working with samples - it's will be awesome.

No problem. We're all family here - and as you know, family sometimes disagree on certain things too. I'm gonna do the same and apologise my side, if I'd offended you in any way. I had my share of getting my A** spanked on the forum too. That got me thinking -- maybe I should start approaching my replies differently and stop being so straight forward, Guess I have to thank the old man for his inheritance. (May his soul rest in peace.) It's all good bud. ☺ DAMMIT, Why are you so angry?

And can we please get the mouse wheel to work on "Insert Audio FX" from the FX bin too Bakers. Thanks in advance.

Not related to the EA3 topic on Articulations. In the next release can we make it possible to route the input of Aux tracks to audio tracks please. Currently, we can do it with instrument tracks, but not with audio tracks when samples are used.

Most music today is done with only a USB mic. Realtec interface playback and recording and some decent headphones amongst the youth and get their stuff on radio. POP/EDM/DANCE and HIPHOP. I've got first hand experience recording a pop group only with what was mentioned above and a pair of Monkey Banana Gibbon Air Monitors. There's great free VST's to make digital sound like analogue. Some vinyl effects, with some saturation and distortion, it can create magic.

Yet, again, with a quick response. Thanks Bakers.

Good Day everyone. Is it possible to perhaps add a new feature to "Loop Construction" under the Loop properties - to allow us to trigger any sample by your midi keyboard/controller and with the computer keyboard to manipulate/transpose samples? This should've had been possible with loop construction way before Bandlab took over. Right now, the only way to audition the notes, is by manual choosing the key note and hit play everytime -- even then, this makes it a tedious procedure. Another addition to this would be the ability to move the file forward and backwards in the window too, for synchronize purpose with playback. This will be a traumendous improvement to the loop construction window and Cakewalk itself.

Do you mean Navigator? If that's what you mean -- Just press Alt+N on the keyboard.

Just wanted to know if the Cakewalk Instrument comes with DEFAULT Keyswitches for the purpose of training a class. Thanks for the shopping list though, but I'm good. 😂

I ran this problem. All I did was Ctrl+Alt+Del and closed every instance of CbB that was open in the Task Manager. Opened CbB again, now it works fine. Don't know why that happened, but it's gone now.

I guess when you read "too much" in what someone was trying to say - this tend to happen. Yet, you're still making comparisons between DAW's that migrated between Mac and Windows and a "Windows only" DAW.

I think this discussion -- "which has turned into some sort of heated debate" between @Maestro @Teegarden and @Craig Reeves is interesting, but I feel one crucial information has been left out. First of all, there's been some really interesting pointers given and counter attacks too. I feel this is unfair though, Meaning - We can't really make comparisons or compare Cakewalk with the DAW's mention in previous replies nor we actually say and to quote what Maestro said: I bet more professionals use Logic Pro X than they do Cakewalk. Of course, this will is true. So is it for FL Studio; Cubase; Pro Tools and Ableton -- why though? Well, your standard system in any professional studio's are Mac. That's why every professional studio uses Pro tools, Logic and FL Studio as their standard DAW. Cakewalk is yet to migrate over into that world. Gibson had a beta version running with Sonar, but hack knows what happen to it after they've shut down. So it's unfair to say or claim such discussion. If Cakewalk had to migrate over to Mac 30 years ago - I bet this debate would've gone differently. So, I think there's a bit of a disadvantage in the discussion on this. Yeah, I will go as far to say - for me, personally it's the best free "Windows DAW" out on the market right now.

Yes, it will work fine. I've done it as a "On the road Studio" with a group for demo songs. Just download "Asio4all" - it's all you need.

Hi Team. I love my pan pots on my busses, both input pan and standard center pan. There just come that time when things goes wrong with it - especially with the control surface or with controller that's assigned to them. So my request is can we get a locked or enable/disabled feature to them, to avoid some mishaps. I just had such incident where I went insane trying to figure out why my reverb is off centered while the pan pot was dead centered -- just to find out the "input pan" was 37% to the left. Probably would've still looked for the cause if I didn't think to look there.

Yeah. Check your pitch bend wheel on the midi - it happens to the best of us.

If you look closely - it is there. Question: Can you collaps your properties and show both bus pane and track view in the console view? Meaning your tracks and Buss tracks together.

Does Cakewalk instruments comes with their own keyswitches? (like Legato, pizzicato, staccato etc.)

Oh - clip scaling, yeah, that make sense. Track zoom is possible, but not scaling. Yep definitely a +1 from me for multiple clip scaling. For lanes though, I normally do it on the clip and move the lane down afterwards. Yeah. Multiple Clip Scaling would be a great addition.
