If you’ve ever wanted to record your own songs at home but didn’t know where to start, this is the tutorial for you. DAW (digital audio workstation) expert Gary Hiebner takes you on a comprehensive tour of Bandlab’s Cakewalk, the powerful full-featured DAW that’s 100% free! You’ll learn how to set up your audio interface, record audio and MIDI tracks, apply effects (reverb, delay, compression, EQ, etc.), edit your tracks, use automation, and much more! These videos are designed for new Bandlab Cakewalk users.
After welcoming you to the course, Gary begins by briefly discussing Cakewalk in a broad sense, so you can hear what all you can do with this program (hint: it’s a lot!), and showing you exactly how to install it on your computer. Then, you’ll learn how to set up your audio interface, which it what you use to record and play back your songs, and you’ll get a look at the interface and learn how to create your first project.
Next, Gary explains the different types of tracks that are available (audio, MIDI, etc.) and shows how to record and edit MIDI first. MIDI stands for musical instrument data interface and allows you to record “virtual instruments” of just about anything you can imagine (drums, piano, cello, tuba, etc.) by using an external MIDI keyboard or even using your computer’s QWERTY keyboard.
There’s much more to come as well, including recording/editing audio tracks, different recording modes, saving your projects, punch-in recording (to fix a mistake in an otherwise good take), loop recording (recording several takes of a section without stopping), Track and Clip Inspectors (for viewing information about them), using Pro Channel and Mix Console (for mixing your song and adding effects), using automation (for automatic adjustments of things like a track’s volume and pan position over time), quantizing MIDI (correcting timing issues), adding section markers (for quick navigation within your song), exporting your song (so it can be listened on any music device), and much more!
It’s truly a golden era of home recording, with the tools available to us being unimaginable a mere 50 years ago. With this Bandlab Cakewalk video course, you’ll learn how to create professional-sounding recordings at home with this free DAW, and you’ll have a lot of fun in the process.
