Mike I’m glad you’re feeling better.I hope you’re well. I’m staying with the free Cakewalk,retired and on a budget.Remember all the people who you have helped when you get down.❤️
People who appreciate Mike's work here (for basically free) should make a point of liking and commenting on each video that is released to encourage him (and youtube) to keep bringing it to us.
Thank you John :)
Thanks Mike. Great video. Cakewalk/Sonar should be very glad you are making these tutorials for us.
This free version business is just brilliant, for me and my bands, anyway. I am the one with a studio in the house, and I have a dedicated stationary computer. I can run Sonar. All the others can go with Next on a laptop, recording their bits over a single stereo track I have mixed down for that purpose. It's saving the collective a lot of cash. 😊 And with your videos, everyone has a place to learn how to use it 😅
Awesome workflow!
HI Mike I think I really like Cakewalk Next , the most...much easier to use then the regular Cakewalk...I'm still learning but love the simplicity of Next.
IF the two are symbiotic it might be a cool way to move stems over to this Daw for the mix.... When I create I tend to load up with synths and they can kill your cpu fast... this way ya can bounce the stems out to this perhaps... although a new session of Cakewalk usually would suffice if need be,,, maybe this is more like Audacity,,, I guess Im trying to understand why the need...
If they release Next as a continuation of a free offering I'll stick around and use it, if they don't I'm done, I'm walking and I'm never looking back Reaper does most of what i want.
Understand the sentiment, but if its does what I need and lets me be more creative than other DAWs, then I'd be happy to pay for it. I haven't used Reaper, but I figure if its good, and it works for you then you might already have a winner. Just finding a tool that suits the individual artist is they key. I've been into home recording since the 90s (Cakewalk --> Cubase --> Ableton) and I still haven't found one that creates a great workflow for me. Bandlab got be inspired to write and record again because it let us focus more on the music and collaboration and the mobile option let us capture ideas (up to the point where its limitations stop us from polishing the demos) and I just need something a little more to now focus on the recording, but nothing huge or heavy, so I'm hoping Next could work for me and my band... fingers crossed, and paying a little for that is okay by me.
Reaper isn't free - have you already purchased a licence for Reaper then?
@@spinningmonkey8427 yes obviously, I would've thought that was implied, point is reaper will almost surely cost less and is a better DAW imo especially Considering history, cakewalk was a nice free option for legacy systems. but imo it doesn't justify paying for it when there are better options at this point.
@@spinningmonkey8427 Yeah, kind of figured that part was implied, the point was that Reaper will almost certainly be cheaper even if i hadn't, Cakewalk was a nice to have for legacy systems, and a few niche cases, but imo there isn't really anything all that exciting about it, its an ancient codebase, that's been resurrected over and over again, i was behind it as a community offering, as a solid secondary DAW, but it doesn't offer enough in my view to justify paying for it.. not when things like Reaper exist..
Dito here, at least I know Reaper will stay around. I also don''t like the membership which is required, at least with Reaper you only have to pay 60 bucks once. ( "BandLab Membership costs USD $14.95 per month for the monthly plan and USD $149.50 for the annual plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at your selected interval until you choose to cancel." )
The stem separation is cool. Depending on the price of Next, that may be worth the purchase.
Quick Comment: There seem to be some nice workflow improvements (i.e., ability to adjust plug-in parameters without opening the plug-in, easily creating VST layers, etc.), but there are also some key features lacking (i.e., articulations in the piano roll, adjustment of transient timing in audio tracks, etc.). But with the ability to easily transfer tracks or stems between Cakewalk Next and Cakewalk Sonar, I suppose you could arrange in "Next" and if ever you need to do some more refined editing, move the track over to Sonar, do the edit, then throw it back into "Next". But I wonder...
I love the block / color look of cakewalk next. Something just draws my attention to the color scheme. Cakewalk is the original for DAW’s. Excited to carry on the tradition!
I've been using Sonar Cakewalk for so many years and have recently switched over to Cubase, as it seems to be more widely used on the market, however, there is definitely a learning curve to it. I feel like I cheated on my beloved Cakewalk. hahaha I may just have to come back "home". 🙂
Thanks, Mike!
Great job, Mike!
Interesting stuff. Thanks, Mike!
Very valuable video - thanks Mike.
Great Video as usual Mike. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Also congratulations on the new channel!
Nice review! 👍
Another excellent tutorial, thanks.
great video. exciting features which you cover so well - as usual.
Hi Mike, thanks. Some cool features I didn't expect.
Fantastic video, Mike! Next looks interesting.
Thanks for the video man, look forward to taking the journey into using Cakewalk Next with you!
thanx Mike! Good introduction
Loving it so far. Perfect for beginners.
Thanks Mike 👍
Excellent work Mike and very helpful for me as I prepare to work with the new setup... keep up the great work. Best wishes, Chris :)
I like. Thanks Mike
Great video MIKE, this looks like it will be very very useful. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!
Very cool. This has a lot more functionality than I expected. Well done, thank you.
Thanks for the in-depth preview. Interesting...
Thanks Mike. Great work. Please continue, especially about Sonar.
Hi Mike really impressed hope to see lots more 👋👋👋
Thanks Mike!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the great introduction to Next Mike. I’m stuck on Sonar (Cakewalk), but there’s some interesting shortcuts to be had in this new version. Nice job in explaining the system in such a short timeframe. Keep it up brother!😎
As ever, another great vid from you, Mike 😎 I like the look of this new version of Cakewalk. Especially interested as it now supports macOS. I also like the inbuilt stem separation functionality, along with the general workflow of this release. Neat! 👍🏻
This reminds me of that Project5 software Cakewalk used to do, which was in the same space as ACID, FL Studio and other DAWs that were primarily for loop-based music and EDM. This looks intriguing, and since I'm now on a Mac, I will be looking at Cakewalk Next as a lightweight music-making environment that I can use for ideas and non-professional work. So glad that a Cakewalk product is finally coming to Mac!
Very nice! Has me thinking that I may not need the full-blown version/Sonar.
thats pretty cool stuff....looks like an easy way to get started
Thanks for the heads-up Mike. Cakewalk Next does have a heck of a lot of functionality. I like it.
looks quite interesting. I've used Producer 8.5 & X-1 for years & love them
Looks great! Looking forward to see how it works on my tablet too.
This might be a good light-weight tool for fleshing out a project quickly. Look forward to learning more. Great overview Mike, thanks!
Yay nice video. I luv sonar since 3.1
Commenting for the algorithm - but this looks like it's shaping up to be better than I expected. Never saw myself using the bandlab online baby DAW but I can see this being more than passable for getting ideas down and shaping demos.
Hi Mike,
I hope you're well.
No 'mixer' view ?
How can that be ?
My Voyetra V-24S from 1992 (DOS 3.0) had a mixer view, JEEEEEEZ !
Amyway, simpler is good.
But not THIS simple !
Bill P.
Cakewalk NEXT is not the same as Sonar.
Not gonna lie, it scared the crap out of me for a few minutes before I realized this lol
@@Chu_the_Master Thank you for the heads-up.
It's not a 'light' version of Sonar then ?
That's unfortunate !
Thanks again,
Bill P
@@RocknRollkat It's more of a "stripped-down" kind of light than a "lightweight" kind of light even though the latter is true
I'll wait for the new Sonar and see if it suits my needs then
=)
@@Chu_the_Master I can't deal with those 2D knobs, looks like something from a real budget DAW.
What a downgrade !
wooow, looks amazing, better than anything on the market, I think I'm ready to switch from ableton live to this pretty DAW
It has a few cool features. But not cool enough to pay more than $50 for. It is more like "Cakewalk for Dummies." Not designed for recording big productions. It is kinda like when they put touchscreens in cars. It looks cool but in a month you wish you had the buttons and switches back..lol YOUR presentation was the best thing in this video. Cheers
Look's good and some very nice features I
Thanks for the review Mike ..
So there is no way to send those midi tracks out to an external interface ?
Hopefully that will change ..
Keep up the great work !!
Currently using band lab as rough sketch tool and importing stems into cakewalk for mixing and 'lite' mastering, I like the look of next and it seems to address some of the deficiencies of the on-line platform i just wonder about interface set up and if the unique file type will make cross compatibility with other DAWs a problem as i sometimes use my iPad for sampling or grabbing a quick idea with voice notes and dealing with iTunes to get my inspirations off is a pain sometimes. I'm open to change though so there's always subscribing first and then purchase if that's an option.
more videos on cakewalk pls!
1. Interesting ! 2. You say "No advanced features in the piano roll", but the long white on black menu you showed (3'55'' +/-) allow us to modify quite a lot of parameters from the piano roll ("clip inspector") IF I got it right . Is that so common ? 3. No score editor ??? In a daw which seems aimed primarily at songwriters and composers ? While there is one in CBB ? 4. For the moment, the only way to pay seems to buy a membership in Bandlab. Same for the coming Sonar. Will one have to pay for one or two memberships to have both ? - if you have any information about that. 5. Thanks a lot for the video !
Thank you VERY VERY much for this very easy and interesting introduction into "Next". I`m already working with it as well, and I am happy to have found something like a polished, professional version of the formerly really helpful "Magix Music Maker". That Music Maker has lost much of its worth since it has become a shop with a software instead of the opposite.
But what I still like about is that there is a version you can buy and then really use as yours, independent of the monthly money you can spend. I`d love to have such a one-pay-Next-version with upgrades I can subscribe for as well. Even Reason has both, a one-buy-version as well as a version "for rent".
Anyway: you now are my chosen Next teacher. I hope that one day I will be able to show my results to you (I am working with Arturia and Analog Lab, experimental, minimal electronic music, mostly even without a human singing voice or beats. Just to relax my musical mind, after the masses of commercial patterns made up from the opposite, from human voices and from beats). Have a nice day!
Thanks Mike. It seems like Next might be enough for my modest needs. No Mixer view but it looks as though there's a "fader" and panning knob on the LHS in the track view.
As a further comment - perhaps you could explore the other BandLab options in a little more detail? In particular their online Mastering and their distribution services.
Mike to see U are back,can U export between the different Cakewalk Variants very interesting? Thanx
Thanks for putting these out, Mike! I'm really hoping Cakewalk makes a proper comeback and I'm also hoping they can do a proper job developing these apps.
holy cow I might switch to this... I realize I value simplicity over control, and this interface and feature set is very appealing.
thanks again Mike for the summary
Nice overview Mike - like others I'd find the absence of a console view weird but there are certainly some interesting features in there which I hope they will port over to Sonar
This is actually pretty neat
Would love to have some of these features in cakewalk...
Great tutorial again Mike, thank you. Next is really looking OK to me. Kinda modern too. Some cool features. Thought you said that loading VST's is a problem, but you did load several ones. So what's the problem here? Or is it limited to only a view?
Track folder becoming effectively a bus, plugins at the bottom, sampler track, pad controller - so it's basically Ableton. Which I don't resent. And I wish Sonar had all those features. Esp. the pad controller is a great feature that speeds up the process of constructing a drum kit and a drum track.
Best cliff hanger ever:
Job done. Pretty interesting. Huh?
Thanks Mike
Hi Mike
Glad you're still going and teaching.
Can l ask you is Cake walk Next any easier for recording audio? As for me I just want to play and record without too much technical theory to learn. The old Cakewalk was cool but I could never get my head around all of it. Which meant I spent more time messing around with the software then getting on and playing thanks.
Kind regards
Phil
Phil
Great idea, minimum system requirements kinda so high 16gb RAM, so the need to invest in a high end PC or Laptop is crucial to run it smoothly.
Hi Mike , just saw this today and am baffled as t what the difference is between this Cakewalk Next and the online Bandlab
Very cool ! it would be nice to work on a light daw while on the road.
I started with Cakewalk back in Windows 95 / 98 and up to sonar, they screwed everyone so much over the years, I am now a Reaper user and will never go back even if it's free.
Same here, got screwed once..... couldn't acces my old Sonar projects anymore..... using Reaper now as well. Very light in CPU, never crashes. But I must say I like this Cakewalk next from what I see in this review, but yeah, I already got screwed once......
Ooops, you need a Bandlab membership for this Cakewalk next, I don't like memberships, I rather pay once and own what I bought: "BandLab Membership costs USD $14.95 per month for the monthly plan and USD $149.50 for the annual plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at your selected interval until you choose to cancel." (so it's waaay more expensive than Reaper for which you only have to pay 60 bucks once )
Really like that arranger view and the track inspector, Reaper is my primary DAW these days but Cakewalk does this bit better. They took much inspiration from Bitwig and Ableton with the various inspectors in the bottom.
Ok... Kind of another world for me!!! And I'm not saying "no f... way" lol! However, as always, new technology and/or new workflow is always a sensitive point for many of us. On my side, for an old man like me, it looks like ... oof! how I can get something outta that thing! lol. Thanks Mike.
Is there a staff view available for the midi tracks?
I don't think this one would be for me. To me, being able to record/replay MIDI for my external MIDI hardware is a must. Thanks for drawing that to our attention, as well as for a good, well-presented review.
My first impression when I opened Cakewalk Next was that it was similar to GarageBand. You did a great job of drilling down into many of the features. I'm curious if Next will allow control surface support since (like GarageBand) I couldn't find a mixer view displaying faders. I'll continue watching. Thanks for the content!
Would like to see some of the good from Next get into Sonar, as well as some of the Sonar good get into Next. Hopefully this is what will happen as they work more on both.
People paying for both new DAW's should also help with the improvements to them.
Thanks for all your videos Mike!
Great things in NEXT already for its first incarnation... But it will dépend on its price
Hi Mike, is it the same for cakewalk sonar.? When will it be ready for sale?
Yes, a starter, quick-play tool, not a DAW.
Yet it’s kinda a DAW, really not understanding what they’re going for with this.
I noticed you have added instruments (9:51), how did you add instruments to Cakewalk Next?
Hi Mike thanks for sharing. When will we get some idea of the cost? Sadly been disabled by the vaccines and money is tight. Really want the new version looks really good and some awesome workflow options
looks promising
Hi Mike. Thanks for doing the grunt work for all us waiting for the big reveal. Still not sure I like the new Sonar, and the lack of pricing is irritating. But some of this looks cool especially for quick on the fly composing. Hopefully they’ll offer a package deal.
This sounds like a Bandlab/Cakewalk mashup 👌
Mike, I’m waiting to see what Sonar will cost, that will determine if I buy Sonar, Studio One, or just stick with Band-lab’s FREE Cakewalk DAW. Have you any pricing updates?
So next can only be used online? Is this enough for someone who wants to put on a backing track and plug in an electric guitar for recording improvisations? Are the guitar effects sufficient or third party plugins needed?
Looks like it's got some great features, but also looks like it should be called Bandlab Plus rather than Cakewalk Next. Cakewalk Sonar looks like the next iteration of Cakewalk, not this one.
WOW.......Cakewalk on MAC !!!!!
Quick question: One of the biggest issues with Cakewalk by Bandlab is stability. The program crashes quite often. How is your experience with Cakewalk Next so far? Does it seem more stable?
Thanks for the video mike. Will these two new daw s still be compatible with old sonar/ cakewalk bandlab project file format so that cakewalk bandlab users can import there past song projects into the new daws for the same midi and vst settings and other settings. Or will these two new daws have a different save project file format.
Oh I've just found your other new sonar daw video that explains the file format compatibility so i guess that answers my question. Thanks Mike.
Does anyone know if we have to download Cakewalk Next before Cakewalk Sonar comes out?
It looks really interesting, and very user friendly. Not sure I'd be able to cope without a Console view tho .... Thnaks Mike!
They do look sexy for sure!
Seems like Next sits right in the middle between the Bandlab Mixer and Sonar.
No clip feature like Ableton, logic pro and others ?
Sampler Track is great simple creative feature... also Pad Controller Track... I would like to see the ability to switch the sounds in my folder, directly on the pad.
It looks like they've taken some clues from Tacktion's Waveform pro. It is very reminiscent anyway. The STEM separation is basically the same thing as Waveform pro. I started recording myself over backing tracks with Tacktion 3 and eventually bought the pro version. Mainly because it seemed easier for my brain to understand its workflow over what was available as DAW back then. I then got into CbB because I wanted to learn the "traditional" ways. As it was free, it was a no brainer. I have quite a few projects done with CbB but it wouldn't be difficult to export/import into Waveform. So I don't see why I would spend money on either Cakewalk products.
you can't plug in a midi keyboard, is there a way around this? will Cakewalk Next be free?
Hiya Mike. Thanks. Does Next do slip editing on audio tracks? Groove clip looping? Quantise project to audio track? If it does, I might buy a Mac!
Seems like it doesn’t.
Seems pretty powerful. I am curious how the pricing turns out. I know it's a preliminary release, but I am curious if you found software problems (like app shutting down suddenly, resource hogging, incorrect behaviors). A few such cases would be expected, but hopefully not enough to require a lot of workarounds.
Thanks for the review.
Bonjour Mike, merci pour votre enseignement. Même si je ne parle pas bien english , je vous comprends ! Mais, je trouve qu'il y a trop de fonctions inutiles dans ce nouveau logiciel pour moi ! J'ai déjà du mal avec le 2024.02
Ma question est : sera t'il possible de continuer sur le CakeWalk free ? Je n'ai pas les moyens financiers pour accéder à des logiciels payants.
Hope you Can translate !
Bonne journée à vous ( good morning and thanks you much)…
That trak panel at the bottom reminds me of GarageBand / Logic. Maybe not just mere coincidence.
Cakewalk Next is an eyesore compared to Bandlab
