This is exactly what I've been looking for! Every Cakewalk tutorial "for beginners" I've found has not been for absolute beginners. They all gloss over details that I guess seem obvious or intuitive to them, but that leave folks like me scratching our heads, getting overwhelmed and giving up which I've done multiple times, so thank you for this and all your tutorials!

[pytch]

Wow! This is such an excellent resource! I just started working with Cakewalk, and the learning curve was/is outrageous!

I'm new to music in general, kinda, and the most I've ever done was make a few songs on BandLab.

I just wanted you, as a creator, to know that: I have a hard time learning new things a lot of the time because I don't do well with video content. I usually need an article or a couple of infographics. But I will avoid video a lot.

The transcript and the chapters that came alongside your video were excellent and extremely helpful.

It's hard to find content that isn't video on subjects like this. Sometimes my brain overloads when I'm watching a video. Idek why. It just does. Lol.

So, thank you, sincerely. Your content is awesome; not only is it structured, I think you made an overwhelming task (for me, at least) seem more attainable👌.

The only cakewalk tutorial I've been able to follow yet! Learning new DAWS is typically a big challenge for me. Thank you for the slow and gentle/realistic instruction!

[CherylGriffithHHAPMI]

So Beautiful. Most of the Tutors speak much too fast. You were just Perfect. Not too fast, not too slow. Thanks a lot. You were truly born to teach and help others. Keep up the Good Work. God Bless!

Thank you so much for taking the time, care and gentle approach for absolute beginners. Im completely new to using a DAW and have been trying to learn but none of them had me relaxed and able to keep up until i found this one! I completed the "test youtube" file along with you successfully!

[scnrich]

You even forgot you are teaching beginners and began to show us how proffesional you are ! everyone's weaknesses, good work bro

[btr_ranch]

JustDaNorm, very very great above Cakewalk video for a beginner like me. I had no clue on how to set anything up in this DAW. Now I can put an audio track in and record to it, then add an instrument track, then go back and listen to the playback. This was a great video to get me started in the right direction. Your video was slow so I could follow along with it. Some other videos I have seen are good, but the information was givin so fast for me to follow along with, so I couldn't learn anything. This will be a learning process for me, but with your videos I am sure to make great progress. Thanks again and I am very happy I found your channel.

Thanks for this. Absolute beginner here, having just bought an interface and installed Cakewalk. I'm a bit vague on what you did around adding a track (fingered bass). You commented that two tracks ended up the same sound, so you made some changes. I got lost at that point! A few times you quickly glossed over some steps without explaining slowly what you were doing. I managed to record a sound, but through my headphones there's playback sound only through one ear.
