Why do you split the drums in different tracks for each drum instrument?
I didn’t understand why you do it bro.
Lets say, we have all the drums (kick, snare, cymbals & toms) coming through one single track out.
The problem here is that, whatever we do on that track will affect all of the drums. For instance, cymbals tend to be louder than the other drums. So, when we try to reduce its volume to balance it with the other drums, the volume of the other drums will also get reduced. Hence separate tracks needed.
Lets take another example which deals with FX. Many times its good to have a little bit of room reverb effect on the drums. But the level of reverb needed for each of the drum instruments could be different. Like, its better to have more reverb on the snare, and little to none on the kick or toms. So, here again, we cannot do that if the reverb can only be inserted on one single track.
Having separate tracks gives us more control, and its easier and faster to balance the sounds in the context of the whole project. This will eventually result in better sounding mixes.
@@adk_studios well thanks for that I was kind of noticing, but your explanation makes everything more clear.
It’s basically like microphoning each drum instruments, rather than one microphone for the whole drum. Idk haha but thanks. Because some plugins have better kicks or snares, etc than others.
One time I saw someone take snare from one plugin, kick from another, and so on, and he added different effect on each one and different volumes. Now with your expo is clear.
Thank you so much!!!! I was so stumped on how to get the drum kit onto the piano roll, you not only saved many MANY hours of searching, but actually stopped me from almost quitting!!!! THANK YOUUUU
The amount of help you are providing beginners with is insane. I really appreciate your work.
omg bro, all the details... showing the effects on your voice... its all amazing! ty for everything, and keep it up!
Just having fun while editing 😁
Keep doing tutorials pls ur so good😭
Don't know how many I will do.
The goal of the series is to help beginners. I know how difficult it can be while starting out.
However, the goal of the channel is to inspire.
@@adk_studios Either way, I want to say thank you! I can tell you spent a lot of time arranging the tutorials, as well as cleverly making 'intentional mistakes' so as to demonstrate some of the extra short-cut keys. Well played my friend!:)
You making your own producers all off the strength of love 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
this series is truly insane. I rarely come across anything this helpful on here.
Really great tutorial series, especially easy for beginners to follow. Looking forward to final arrangements & mixing. 2 thumbs up.
They are in making 😌
Loving this tutorial series. Subscribed and awaiting for the next ones!
Awesome... Hope it's actually benefiting beginners 😅
Amazing content. This video had so much learning in one quick example. You do so much, I need to slow it down to catch the important details. Thanks.
Wow... Your tutorials are so detailed! Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Awesome video! Super super helpful!
These tutorials are next level bro, keep it up
You the MVP bro, you can't imagine how much this helps!
Thumbing up and Subscribing.
Hihi...

Awesome thank you!
Ah! That too much information but you made me love cakewalk. Took time but learnt a lot in this single video
Nicely explained..👍
Glad you think so...!
Thank you 🙏 dude
Appreciate this sir
This is also a great tutorial.
very nice video bro keep it up
✌🏻
Cool. And since your guitar tutorial i like guitar music very much as in earlier times. I mean The Verve and Metallica most.
great yaar
thank you so much man
My pleasure ☺️
Only 1K likes so far. How come? Your tutorials are the best I've seen so far. I've only been using Cakewalk since '1994
Wow...!
Thanks 🙂
Bro great job ,speechless ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ To a beginner that tutorials is treasure.
Mission Success...!
@@adk_studios mission Success ❤️❤️💪🤛🤜

Good tutorials
Thank you...!
More coming in soon.....
Just fantastic--very thorough and very useful. This is really useful even for non-beginners. Thanks so much for doing this.
1 question: We're doing rock-style music, and I'm programming drum kits (I mostly use the free Steven Slate Drums for this). My engineer wants a mono track for each drum output, not stereo. Do you find any advantages for creating stereo audio?
Thanks!
Many of the samples I use have stereo data in them.
So, didn't want to lose them. That is why I always choose stereo.
I did try switching kicks in my projects to mono, but it sounded a bit too boomy.
That's is all I can say about it. Don't have that much of experience switching between mono & stereo during production
@@adk_studios I'm currently doing everything from MIDI and most synths don't generate stereo.
But I hadn't thought about sampling, which (thanks to your videos) I'm going to start.
Anyway, great job. Thanks again!
thanks
I enjoyed every single minute of this tutorial, so much appreciated it! I can't configure the Monster Drum v3 from Monster DAW to split in tracks separately. Its the same of Sitala or the SI-Drum? And how i can use every single track like samples clip? To move freely in the grid? Thanks again for the excellent tutorial.
I didn't quite understand that question.
And I also don't have any experience with the said plugin
This was very good thank you. Could you maybe try one on drum mapping so I can link my eletric kit to cakewalk and use say addictive drums or even SI-Drums. I can nearly do it, but its not perfect and I cannot work out why.
I haven't figured it out myself.
on top of that, I don't have an external hardware setup to test it out.
Good luck...!
Recently installed Cakewalk, and was struggling with the interface a bit, and only managed to import audio files. Then I realised that I had no sampler. Thanks for the info.
Have you tried using swing?
(I learned about swing through SoundBridge and there I finally understood the secret to groovy hats and basslines
The timing of your comment 😂
Watch the next video 🤭
Question less said you have a song that after the first 2 minutes in you want to change the drums and beats . And tempo and so for how can you do that?
We can automate tempo.
We can even change the time signature mid project.
Hello from 2024 👋
These tutorials are really really good, they've been wonderfully helpful to me as a beginner to all this. One question - where did you learn all this? I read through the entire 2000 page cakewalk manual but so much of what you're sharing isn't stated there. This is especially true for the apparently famous TTS-1 synth. Anyway, thank you 👏👏👏🤩
Thanks...!!!
After watching tutorials I click around more on the topic surrounding that tutorial. Then use the things I figured to make it second nature.
Then just before making a video on it, I go through the Cakewalk manual to make sure I cover the topics properly and also, does it without adding any wrong info from my end.
Hello! At 8:52, you mention that there's a way to route the drum outputs to separate tracks when they've already been established, but you skipped over that method. How might you do that? I'm using Drum 64, not sure if that changes things.
Look up

Hi there,
I download Cymatics yesterday and installed it but I don't see the "Drip Sample Pack" folder? Can you help? Thanks.
What exactly did you download?
Hi brother how can i move the midi track out of the folder the click and drag thing didn't worked please help!?
Try different places on the track. Not every place can be used to move around the track.
You can also right-click the track to find "Remove from Folder"
Hey Adk i have a question i made a folder with sitala but id like to put plugins in for the kick or snare but it wont let me is there a way around it ? I was trying to put the diablo plugin on the kick if that helps
You can add any kind of track into a folder.
We can simply drag the track into the folder. But just in case, try right clicking on the track you want to include and select "move to folder".
@@adk_studios that was all my bad hahah 😅 another question is there i time I would want the same plug-in for all the tracks ever or would that mess with the low kicks and high snares, but wouldn't I want the same plug-in so everything sounds similar
You can use any plugin. Making them sound similar can be done with mixing
Hi, how’d you get the sample names to show up on your piano roll from sitala? Mine just displays the notes
I didn't do anything special.
It just showed up there.
May be it's the new update?
Or you are not zoomed in enough?
Might be the update nothing changed when I zoomed in. But thank you anyway
plz suggest or make video some fully free and royalty free sample packs. like edm. house . lofi. pop. ambien . n more.. plzzz
The free sample packs I use are mostly from Cymatics
cymatics.fm/pages/free-download-vault
A google search - "Free sample pack" can give you even more results
@@adk_studios thanks ❤️.but iske upar ek video banate to or vi acha hota (top free royalty sample packs)🙏
Hi. Is it possible to make hi hat repeats like in trap music, and make them occur randomly?
It is possible.
However, I find doing it in the piano roll to be better.
How can we automate pitch in audio track ( with no vst )
We can't
What libraries are you using in decent sampler and labs?
Decent Sampler - Broadwood
Labs - Long Strings
@@adk_studios thanks! :)
6:10 I added a sound and I'm trying to manipulate it so that it sounds more natural, as if someone was actually playing it in real life. The issue that I'm facing is that despite lowering the velocity, the strength of the sound is still the same. Is it because of the sampler that I'm using? Cause currently I've been using vital as a sampler, but I should probably download a dedicated sampler. Is that why I'm not seeing a difference in pitch when I change the velocity?
Vital works totally fine.
In Vital you can see a "VEL TRK" knob for controlling the velocity tracking. Turn it all the way up.
To track the pitch, click on the keyboard-like button on the right side of the sampler module.
@@adk_studios thank you so much! It worked :). I also have another question , an issue that I'm facing with cakewalk. Not always but pretty often i go to save a file and when I try to open it the next day, the program gives me a glimpse of what the project is, a tiny preview, and then closes itself and crashes. What might the issue be?
It could be a buggy plugin.
I have faced something similar when I used ADSR sample manager. I used it as a sampler. Sometime after, I moved the samples which I used in that project into a different location.
When I came back to that project a few days later, it was crashing like you described. So, try to use legit plugins
Thanks a lot for this video, I learned everything from this video. You teach excellently.
There is a problem. I want to put a sample for example Snare in Sitala and arrange its notes in Piano Roll, but it only gives me one note to arrange. I can't use other notes to create creative trap traps. This is possible in komplete Control, but not in Sitala and in SI dram. There is no solution for this problem? Can't we have a full piano roll for each sample in Sitala or SE Drum? So that we can root out creative and off-the-grid hats and traps?
FL Studio's step sequencer allows this because it is a sampler by default.
I wish there was a way to have a full piano loop for each of Sitala's samples...
Also, I want you to make a complete video about sliding notes for us. I put an 808 sample note above the main note, but it doesn't slide.
Pretty much all the drum samplers that allow us to load multiple samples works like Sitala.
As you mentioned, Komplete control, will let you do trap roll hats. Another option is grace sampler. We can even use vital as a sampler.
With a little bit of tweaking grace and Vital can be used to make sliding 808s.
@@adk_studios I spoke to the cake walk support
I raised all these issues and problems
Also a few other things
For example, creating a separate piano roll for each sample step sequencer.
They were very welcoming and promised to add these items in future updates.
In order to slide the notes, you must select legato from the complete control. The problem is solved.
Please continue your valuable cakewalk tutorials and leave us videos every week
You are an artist with taste.
I did drag the samples to midi track. And it's showing the note. Is this the correct way to find the pitch of samples?
It is one way...
However, keep in mind that the conversion can be really sensitive. Even the tiny bit of pitch variation might be considered during the conversion & it can create additional notes that we might not perceive as actual pitch.
I would also suggest verifying it with an app in you phone. There are a lot of tuning plugins you can use for that. I use Vocal pitch monitor on my android phone
OK one more can we mix our drums like that when we use sitilita or we have to bounce them into mono and into tracks in order to do our mixing
We can mix as they are. No need to bounce
@@adk_studios ok thanks
ok i just remember i will have to bounce the drums for arrangement and for seperation
No, not at all...
I have never bounced my drum tracks.
You can do everything with MIDI
@@adk_studios ok i will go bak to your tutorial and see how to do it .i want to seperate them dont know how to do that
do u always hav to put your hi hats and kick on c5 everytime?
It depends.
In CbB, C5 is the note that triggers the sample as it is. If you go above that, the pitch will be increased (sample is played faster increasing its frequency) & if you go down the notes, pitch will also be decreased (sample is played slower decreasing it's frequency) . If you want the sample to sound as if is, its C5.
I explain all these in the 4th episode of the series dedicated to samplers.
@@adk_studios ok i will look
bro you should really use a Drum Map
Bro I'am facing an issue when I add any synth or sitala i can add it by insert instrument but I cannot find it in plugins section although I already add folder location in preferences and by that I am not able to setup things in soft synth option for sitala. Please help me. ❤
You mean you can't find the plugin in the CbB Browser?
@@adk_studios yes exactly.
Hhhmmmm....
In the CbB browser, click plugins.
Then, 'manage layouts'.
From there see if you can find and add the plugin.
can u do a vid on how to strum the easy and fast way like in fl studio
ok nvm i seen it after finish watchin the vid
Haha... Awesome.!
Hello I just downloaded but I’m having trouble hearing my audio can’t hear nothing
Check your settings in the preferences.
You might find the first video in the series useful
One year later. Still helpful. THX. SUB+ & LIKE :)
So glad to read...!
So komplete kontrol is really the only way to get your drums on the piano roll
Any sampler (or VSTi), into which we can load an audio can be used. Like
Grace Sampler
Komplete Kontrol
Vital
Sitala
Poise Drum Sampler
TX 16Wx
(All of the above are free)
Plz make a video on how to make vocal Synth in cakewalk
Whats a vocal synth???
@@adk_studios iit is a type of Synth where the vocals sing the melody I don't know me ch about it
I think you might be referring to either a speech synthesizing kind of Synth which generates the vocal, or vocoder that manipulates actually vocal.
downloaded the sample pack but cakewalk tells me the format of the sample pack is not supported.. i’m lost
That should not be happening. Can you elaborate with more details of the sample and the message CbB is showing?
I believe there is an easier way to split the drum notes to individual tracks by using the CAL script "split note to tracks". I figure you already knew this but didn't include it for some reason.
Yea...
The reason is that there are multiple notes that can trigger the same drum.
The notes are different for side stick & snare. But its the same snare drum.
Likewise, the closed hi hat & open hi hat have are triggered by different notes. But they should be on the same track
@@adk_studios Makes sense. Thanks
Bro i have installed sitala in cakewalk, when i open it, I am not getting the soft synth options.
Please help i tried installing multi times and i still could not find.
I'm not sure what the question is.
Does Sitala show up in the instrument plugins list?
@@adk_studios yes it does, but when i double click it, i dont get the pop up as you get in the video.
So, double clicking it will simply add it into the project without showing you that window. Is that what's happening?
@@adk_studios exactly bro.
Views -> Synth Rack View
In the Synth Rack View click the fourth button (Insert Soft Synth Options).
You can re-enable "Ask this every time" from that window.
I encounter a very weird problem. Maybe somebody has the same issues.
I tried everything and looked for solutions online, but I can't drag the MIDI track out of the folder.
You are probably not clicking on the right place, just click on different places on the track.
Or, you can right click on the track pane, and there should be an a option to remove it from the folder
Hey can u make a review of surge XT it's a. New version of surge

u never answer my question i ask if cakewalk could be or is one of the easiest daw to mix in with those style dial fx espically if u dont understand compression u can just insert the max fx for faster mixing ?am i right
First of all. When did you ask a question that I did not answer? I have answered every question that I have gotten notifications for.
Second. Use punctuations. At the very least, use full stops to differentiate sentences.
Now, to the question.
I found Cakewalk to be very good for mixing. Its Pro Channels is one is main highlights.
I have not used style dial FX.
I didnt get what you mean from there onwards. What is "max fx"????
@@adk_studioslol max is one of the dial fx in the style dial fx menu .u have to do a tutorial on those tho , .it will be fun for others to know about.
@@thegamingzone5963
I think, I will cover some of it in episode 9.
I'm not sure if I'll go deep into it though.
Since I understood the initial question now, I don't think that is the purpose of the max style dial.
I need to look into it to make sure.
@@adk_studios ok well make sure to test it and see how easy it is .thank u brother .also i been a cakewalk user since the kinetic days,my first day was kinetic which i bought bak in 2010 around ,didnt understand music theory in those days didnt know where my kinetic went also but am lucky to download bak a free version of it from youtube to keep on my laptop.then i went and get sonar 6 which i never use also then my small brother broke it in half.then i went and get sonar 8 and was able to get a free version of sonar 8.5 because of sonar 8 and i was only recording my vocals with youtube beats with it.still have sonar 8 disk with the case but i think its time to step things up .am happy for this free version ,not gona be wasting anymore time since everything is now on youtube to learn from
Yea.
Better late than never
Adk, I'm not getting how to make a beat. I don't know the right clip pane to place my snare, kicks and others. It's producing rubbish.
Can you elaborate more on what you are doing?
I made a beat but each time I play it the timing is different, sometimes they're in time with eachother and sometimes not. If someone can explain this I'd be grateful. I have no idea if it's relevant but I don't have an audio interface yet
If you are using samples directly on the clips pane, it could be because of mismatch between bit depth.
Go to preferences and make sure its the same everywhere.
I prefer it to be 24.
@@adk_studios Audio Driver Bit Depth in Driver Settings is 24, and it says 24 at the top of Cakewalk next to the tempo. So those things aren't the problem but is there anything else I need to do?
Update: I've set the Record Bit Depth, Render Bit Depth and Import Bit Depth in Audio Data to 24 as well now but the problem is still there. Is it because I didn't have it set this way to begin with or something?
@@striverfor7628
Could be.
In addition to that, experiment with buffer size in the driver settings (in preferences)
@@adk_studios Okay, I'll see what I can do. Just to remind that very strangely, you play it one time and it sounds pretty together, but play it again and then it sounds disjointed. It's pretty random how together it sounds each time.
I very much appreciate you replying and trying to help. Right now I've no idea how I'll resolve this issue
@@adk_studios I've just looked and apparently my Cakewalk right now is set in such a way that I can't adjust the buffer size in Driver Settings. I hope someone out there knows the cause of this weird problem :p

I don't have this. I only have a crappy drum
Either install VST drums plugins or use drum sample packs. The following videos should help
Installing plugins - ua-cam.com/video/g61cRbIkDfg/v-deo.html
Samples in Cakewalk - ua-cam.com/video/gi06eKl0IqI/v-deo.html
Samplers in Cakewalk - ua-cam.com/video/ia01LfIEBSg/v-deo.html
You go way too fast not even showing what you are clicking on., Explain where you are going to get the tool you are using.
I've been using UA-cam for 40hrs a week for 10 years. If you want to learn, your in the wrong place. You think every private school and collage would let youtube show what they're doing for free? No. Its just all bs on here. Learning yourself if a trap.
It might have been probably mentioned in a previous video in my Cakewalk series. If you don't want to go through the previous videos, shoot the questions here with time stamps.
@koltonriley5929
1. Bruh..., UA-cam tutorials literally helped me get good grades in Engineering College.
2. Three years ago, I got interested in music production because of UA-cam Videos. Started learning from them and now I make a living from music.
I made it a point to not repeat the things which were already discussed in detail in the previous videos in the series (linked in video description).
If you have any questions on this particular video, just ask, I shall clarify it
to fast and not logic, sorry, you must be in a hurry...
It is possible to reduce the playback speed in youtube.
But what do you mean by "not logic"?
@@adk_studios When it goes i 180 mph and fast talking it is not clear for an novice to se where you where in the screen and where you are going. I tryed to pause a lot of times, but that was no help. Try to slow down an realise thet people in need of your help is not an expert in Cakewalk. In 1/4 of your speed it might be logic and understndeble. Sorry to say so...slow down, pause, talk slowly, maybe use anothe curser would help a lot. just saying...
Thanks for the feedback...
