John Vere Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Update January 31 2024: Good news for people whom English is not their native language. I figured out how to add sub titles to my tutorials even after they are published. It will take a while to complete them all but this works brilliantly as you can now read a very basic script and follow along in your chosen language. So far I did the 2 last ones I published. https://youtu.be/eQWPVc6azHc and https://youtu.be/AKsvOP87yGw Update note Jan 2024: All the basics for new users should be here including step by step on recording a song. I will be redoing some of my old videos I took down due to errors and reposting those as well. I will also be slowly adding all the Transcripts for the narration on my web site for those who like reading. They can also be used to translate into other languages. https://sites.google.com/view/cactus-studios/cakewalk-tutorials https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7YqVth30eGsURWrKGeu-fFyg3ETjF-Ox Edited January 31 by John Vere Added additional info 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fogle Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Great video set John. I'm very glad to see you decided to update and repost your original videos. That is a lot of work. While the tutorial section does not get many views I believe the tutorial section is one of the most important forum sections. I'm confidant it is one of the first sections visited by users new to audio production and Cakewalk by BandLab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teegarden Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 7 hours ago, JohnnyV said: It’s what Noel said the other day about learning from the mistakes made creating Cakewalk that spiked my interest in it. Sonar will just be a continuation of those mistakes. But Next will be a clean slate. I thought the same thing. However, the focus seems to be significantly different: Next focus: creation centric features (Easily turn your ideas into songs, offers easy to use yet powerful tools for creators of all stages) Sonar focus: production centric features (The ultimate music production package for creative minds, continued commitment to serving core audio production needs and providing the best all-around audio solution for Windows). Why keep wasting resources on a DAW that has a "complicated" code legacy while you've created an entirely new one with the legacy issues ironed out if it has not its own important place in the portfolio? If it is just to please Sonar and CbB DAW users, they might as well just provide the promised final update and leave it at that. You can keep using that one for years to come and if you want something better you just change to the Next (which you can keep next to your legacy DAW). I've got the impression that most new DAWs are more focussed on EDM and use of loops and samples vs real playing and recording of VSTs and line/mic recorded instruments. My impression from the very limited info so far is that Next is more in line with the former. So I wonder for a composer/singer/songwriter that is focused on writing pieces for bands, creates orchestral pieces, etc. (someone who is not mainly cutting, pasting and manipulating loops and samples) which one of the two is most advised. @Noel Borthwick any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herky Acuff Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I have been appreciating your video series. A lot of the information I already know but they serve as a good refresher - and who knows, there is always something I don't know that I pick up on. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I started updating some of my oldest videos to make them easier to understand as well as as time goes by I learn better ways to do stuff. This is my latest batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 In another thread someone mentioned tutorials in other languages. I thought about adding subtitles to my videos but turned out you need to do this before you publish them. I came up with a work around. I will slowly post all the transcripts of my narration to my web site. I will then add links in the comments and people can translate these into other languages to follow along. I have the transcripts but I need to add the times to each paragraph so it's easier to follow along. This will take a while. Got 3 done so far. https://sites.google.com/view/cactus-studios/cakewalk-tutorials 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 As I said in an edit to the OP I have now figured out how to add subtitles to the tutorials. These are the first two I did. I'm trying to keep language none technical so it will translate better so It won't always follow my audio narration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
