Make sure you do a save before running a cal script, as they sometimes go wrong, and the number of changes made can exceed your undo limit.

My favourite of this video: Go to Peak. Thanks Mike!

[tommylopez]

Thank you for your tips. This is the only video that I have found that actually helps me with cakewalk. I have been a long time user and still find myself learning so much. thank you again.

[NeelModi_dotcom]

Love the peak finder feature! Many years with CW, and I never knew about it!

Also, if you have that situation where your MIDI or audio ends, but an FX tail (like reverb) decays past the project end, if you export the whole range, the decay will still get cut off. It's best to extend a clip (MIDI or audio) to the end of the decay. Even though there's no events there, CW will see the end of the song where it should be.

Adding FX into the pro channel just blew my mind

[davidlincolnbrooks]

Glad you clarified that particualr CAL script. I had no idea what they were asking for when they said Channel and Port number...

My my my... that View Tempo Track Show /Hide!
Mike you just made MY DAY!
Merci, Thank you x1000!

[DeadHeadmusic]

I tuned in right at the point where you said,
but do with care, cause a little bit of your soul dies with it. Haha, 😂 great content man.

[markbrown]

Another great video Mike, thank you. I've learned so much about Cakewalk in the last couple of years thanks to Creative Sauce. Long may it continue👍

[AndyDrudy]

Yep. Been using Cakewalk since the beginning. Didn't know any of that! Many thanks!

[vandergleal]

if you're annoyed about invisible things after the end of the song you can also use the ripple edit to select everything after the "expected end" and delete everything in the selected "visually empty" bars... you'll get rid, yet not knowing what was there. But, somethings you can't be bothered trying to finding the left-overs from a longer previous state.

Love your videos, mate! Cheers!

[garythompson]

Thanks for the tips Mike! My favourite is the CAL scripts

[XELOhh]

Yes sir that Peak finder is defiantly a hidden gem this will help out alot. Thanks for he tip.

[allansmith]

I was going to abandon Cakewalk many times but Mike's tutorials help me weather the storm!

[arpeggioblues]

Mike, you can also designate the different drums to go to separate tracks INSIDE Addictive drums.. each drum channel on AD2 has settings at the bottom of each channel (each drum) and you can specify where that channel will go, and here you set up to go to its own track.. mine is always set to this, I can always (H) hide the tracks.. ( you can hide tracks using the "H" key.. it will only hide track view tracks.. if you open up the Console, those tracks are not hidden.. you can then (again) hit the "H" key in console view and hide the track mix channels as desired.. great tip.. you might wanna include this one.. I use it a lot when I have test tracks, or tracks I don't want to see while concentrating on what I am working on.. cheers, mate (Oregon)

Thank you Mike I love the peak seek and the transform tool

[cianbrady]

Don't worry Mike, I enjoyed your joke!!!! Also great video thanks!

Great video Mike, 30 Yrs of using Cakewalk and I always learn something new !! I use a newer method to avoid the PITA that is the " where is the end of the track " nightmare. Simply Press A to open the Arranger and make one long selection that covers the song between your ideal start-finish points. When you click on the middle of the arranger selection it will highlight everything for Export within it in a way that's very repeatable and stays saved within the project ( which is what you want if you have to export a load of stems for example )

[danepaulstewart]

TRANSFORM applied to midi notes is brilliant.
Tons of uses for it popped into my head before you were even done with the demonstration.
😎👍👍

[mimojapan]

Woah, I never noticed the Transform tool. Cool stuff.
