YouTube Channels for Cakewalk

[Starship Krupa]

@Jochen Flach has a small number of videos, but he is a film/trailer composer and his stuff gets into MIDI editing for that context.

It’s interesting that you ask. I’m just investigating how I can use subtitles in my tutorials. Then those would be available in all languages. 
Cakewalk is a very global community and I can tell by the names of my subscribers how global it truly is.

Edit. Updated Jan 30 
I just found out last night how to add the subtitles to existing videos. It’s actually very easy. It will be a huge project to get it all done.   
I will be definitely add subtitles to all new releases. 

I am also publishing  the transcripts of my narrative here. Yet another winter project.  I’ll never get anything else one!

I actually figured out that you can add subtitles to existing videos. I think it’s a new feature otherwise I would have noticed it before. It’s in the same place that you add an end screen. 
So now all my new releases will  have subtitles and as time allows I might add them to the older videos.

It is impressive to see how many sources of video materials there are.

I don't find video tutorials very helpful in terms of taking baby steps and confirming/following step-by-step instructions.  For this, I find built-in or other files valuable, especially PDFs, but Help Format files aren't too bad.

Where can I find good print-format/-style tutorial materials for Cakewalk, whether on paper or for my off-line computer usage?  (If there is a topic for that here, I apologize for not finding it.)

Bonus Points: I notice CbB does not have tutorials in its off-line help and the PDF.  My SONAR Platinum does have a large off-line Help document, including a set of tutorials.  And I do have the tutorial files.   However, the tutorials don't seem to agree very closely with the SONAR Platinum I have.  I have managed to to figure them out anyhow, so far.  I just wonder if there is an explanation for the differences.  I had assumed that the legacy SONAR Platinum was untouched by BandLab.  Am I mistaken?

Other than the Tutorials subforum, which we are now posting in, there are no other resources that I know of for text-driven tutorials.

Curious: my installation of SONAR Platinum doesn't have a set of tutorials in its help files. Can you be more specific about where/how to find them?

They are available, along with local documentation, via the Command Center.  You can see them listed in the local Help (Windows-style) display, and then a glimpse of one I did to play a sample loop.

Side Comment: There are discrepancies in the tutorial text versus what is on the display, but I managed to adjust.  The MIDI samples definitely play best with Cakewalk TTS-1 on my PC.  Roland Sound Canvas is different.  Now I have to figure all that out :(.
