Besides we do need to understand what samples are before we get into the next video. However, I wouldn't have been able to place it right in the story telling. This video could have been done later in the series. Cakewalk does have enough plugins to mix, but seriously lacks in the category of Instrument plugins (plugins that create sound).In this video, we see how we can add plugins (instruments or FX) into Cakewalk. If a DAW is a factory, then the plugins are the machinery. You will have to follow the steps listed in this page. If you installed with a random directory, thinking you could change them in the future, a normal re-installation process will not some of them. In the end, we also go through some initial setting up post-installation. Otherwise we might end up having to fix those later in the future, & can lead to unnecessary confusion.In this video, we go through the installation process step-by-step. The installation process should be done with a bit of care, as we need the files in the appropriate locations. Without these, Cakewalk is quite blank to even start a project.Īfter we have set all the necessary things up, we can start working in Cakewalk.įrom Video Episodes 6 through 14, we see the core concepts of Cakewalk and see how they actually fit in the actual production process. Video Episodes 1 through 5 deals with the most basic stuff that needs to be understood or set up, before we actually start a project. However, the production should be seen as a tool to help the viewer understand Cakewalk effortlessly. We are in fact producing a piece of music through the series.

The series is made in a way that even those who are new to music production as a whole (not just Cakewalk) will be able to understand the concepts. Finally, finished my Cakewalk Tutorial Series geared towards beginners.
