Robert Bone Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Yup - there is an Apps tab, on the Bandlab Assistant - upper right. Click on that, and then the Cakewalk install button is at the bottom right. Here is a screen shot (Mine says Open, because I have the most current release of Cakewalk installed already) - also, if you click on the drop-down arrow on the right side of the Install button, there is also an option to install some free Add-Ons, which include several soft-synths, like: SI-Bass, SI-Drum Kit, SI-Electric Piano, SI-Strings : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bone Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 By the way, @Ralph Graham WELCOME to the Cakewalk community, these forums are a GREAT place to get help, and to learn. The Cakewalk documentation is also quite robust, even displaying context-sensitive content - in addition to having it available offline, you can also hit the F1 key on your computer keyboard, to pull up available documentation that is associated with where your mouse is on the Cakewalk screen. The letter 'Y' on your computer keyboard toggles on/off the Help Module, which when On will be a square window containing helpful information that changes automatically based on what your mouse is hovering over, and additionally, most of the buttons and knobs will also have a short pop-up display of the name of the button or knob, when you hover your mouse over them. There are many YouTube videos out there, covering just about all of the functionality of Cakewalk, from basics to advanced editing, and in these forums, there is a forum containing Tutorial videos, created by other forum community members. Best wishes for great success with you using Cakewalk by Bandlab (often abbreviated as CbB in the forum posts), for music production, whether you are new to it all, or having music production experience with other recording software.

Glad to hear that. 1 hour ago, Ralph Graham said: the info on teh site says WIN 7 up but part way thru instal says WIN 8 up For your information, that popup just mentions that it is not officially supported in Windows 7, however, Cakewalk by BandLab can be run on Windows 7 for now. (I don't know what will happen in the future.) Edited June 13, 2020 by HIBI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
