I have learned more from this guy in 5 sec, then I’ve learned in a whole day of just fiddling around in Cakewalk by myself 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Thank you! 🙏🏽

[chrischallacombe]

I'm a "veteran" but ALWAYS learn something new. Your tutorials are excellent! Many thank! By-the-way - I love the new

I am a long time Cakewalk user (Guitar Studio>Guitar Tracks>Sonar>CbB). I have watched every video on Creative Sauce pertaining to CbB, and there is still SO MUCH TO LEARN. I love Mike's simplified approach to make you understand. I have used MIDI in other versions but continue to learn. A+++, Thank you for these videos. I even bought a tshirt as I love this content and wish to see more!

oh man, that Transform tool, I was dreaming about it's existence, and guess what - it was under my nose all the time ! thank you so much :)

I used to be a Cakewalk Sonar user up until it was shut down, I felt a bit angry as I had paid renewal of 2 years updates upfront, so I was not happy with their previous owners.
Since Bandlab resurrected the program, I have always had it installed on the computer but not used it, but that is about to change. This video and others are a very useful refresher course to help me back into those things I had forgotten.

I love learning about how to use MIDI. I know I'm ALWAYS going to learn something I need to know whenever I am alerted that Creative Sauce has published a new Cakewalk by BandLab video.

You make the Best Cakewalk Tutorials. Auto Lock in the Track Pane for the win. Thank you

[guidorehder]

I made it this far. There are many great shortcuts in Cakewalk. I use Ctrl + Page Up/Page Down often.
Ctrl +Page Down jumps to the next bar, Ctrl + Page Up to the previous bar. It's very handy while I'm editing.

I didn't know jack about cakewalk actually, so you're my recent Lord and savior of cakewalk! You're awesome! I would be lost without you and give up entirely. I'm a vocalist and lyricist who can't read music nor play instruments, not a musician at all, just got an acoustic guitar, piano, bass and synth, as well as a moog to learn to play and get this song out already! So this is amazing! Keep up the great work! I've had a song stuck in my head just tormenting me for the past 6 years! I've told people about you on tiktok, so you should have some young kid fans on here following you real soon. God bless!

I wish I would have known about your videos years ago. I'd be famous by now!! Great stuff!

[datanoster]

This video is gold! I cant believe all this stuff is possible with the midi. Iv'e been using cake walk for ages and 2 days ago I couldn't even figure out how to make the drums record lol (I always make the beat in other software then export as .wav into cakewalk) I figured out how to use the SI drumkit by watching Your other video. now I have been scratching my head about how to make the drum beat less robotic. This video gives a world of options that I never knew about! nice one

[Asado]

Very helpful video on simplifying the workflow on Cakewalk - so many tools at hand that I overlooked for so long due to an "intuitive" approach. Thanks for this, Mike!

[loupomanti]

i'm a longtime pro user using a lot of MIDI, and guess what, i did learn a few things. Good on ya.

[jayneubauer]

Have you been watching over my shoulder!? This video addressed a lot of issues I have come across lately since I started getting into cinematic/trailer composition! I can't thank you enough for addressing this!

[derekharris]

As a newbie to Cakewalk your tutorials are so useful. Clearly delivered and with loads of information. Thank you so much.

[eggbass]

Fantastic tutorial! I've been a Sonar user since 2XL and you taught me things I never knew. Brilliant!

[DDIII]

Yes. I made it to the end. Always enjoy your insights. I've saved this one and will be referring to it a lot. Thanks Mike.
