- In this video, I will teach you how to use buses within Cakewalk by BandLab. Buses are a must use tool when it comes to mixing and routing audio in any daw. In this tutorial, I will teach you what buses are, why they are useful, and how to implement them within Cakewalk.
So what are buses? In a real world scenario they pick up people and drop them off at destinations. This is the same case in music production except that the people are audio. You can look at buses as a middleman of getting audio to a destination. That can be getting audio to another bus, to a headphone mix, or to your speakers.
So why are buses useful? Buses are useful for creating submixes and FX returns. Submixes are important as they make mixing much easier. They also allow you to create a more cohesive sound for the tracks you group together. FX returns are the most popular use for buses. This is where we put reverb, delay, and other time based effects. You want to look at using buses for your effects as opposed to putting them directly on a track.
Implementing buses in Cakewalk couldn’t be simpler. For more information on how to do this properly be sure to watch this video in its entirety. If you have any questions feel free to leave a message in the comment section below.

A great straightforward explanation about using a bus to apply reverb to a track and how to use busses in general. I just started using Cakewalk after a rather long break from recording at home and I seem to have forgotten how to do some rather simple tasks. I have a feeling I'll be checking out some more of your vids. lol. Great job Socerer!
Thanks for checking out the channel Rick. I'm glad the video was able to help you. 👍
Really nice to see another Cakewalk fan... I have been using Cakewalk and Sonar from the beginning... still holding onto the last non-Bandlab version at this point. Thanks for your great videos!
Cakewalk is definitely amazing. I have the pre BandLab version also and the BandLab version. They have done a good job working out some bugs.
Excellent ....I never used this since more than 10 years. Now I got to know about it and liked it. Your style of presentation is very easy to understand.even for fresher person. I request you to please make one more video of this BUS topic in more derails. I have subscribed you already.Thanks a lot for sharing.
Great tutorial, subscribed!
Thanks so much! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks really helpful
Very helpful thank you! 😊
Thanks for checking out the video and glad I could help! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks bro you're a legend
haha you're welcome!
I like the way you explain in your videos... thanks..
Glad you like them!
Ten years go when you started??? Seriously...you would have been about 12! Impressive. :)
I turn 39 in July. What can I say, I got good genes! 😛😛😛
I just got a midi keyboard, the input and everything is set, yet every time I use cakewalk no sound comes out, and I think it’s a silent bus issue
Thankyou very much Audio Sorcerer Greetz from Kevin, the video is really helpfull for me . Bless up!
I'm glad you found it helpful Kevin 👍
Thanks!!! now i can finally save up some cpu by routing multiple tracks through a bus with effects :))
Glad I could help! 👍
THANKS MATE
No problem! That's what I'm here for. 👍
thnx my brotha.
Glad I could help! 🤘🤘🤘
And to be sure, the effectiveness to this would be if I plan on using the same FX and their respective settings for multiple tracks, correct? Great video. Just found you, so I am going to now dive into your channel and check it out.
Thanks for checking out the channel and video! Your assumption is correct. 👍
Thank you.
No problem! 👍👍👍
06:16 beautiful melody congrats
Thanks so much!
So if we bus, say keys or guitar, etc to an FX bus,
How much of original track volume is still played?
Like keeping da instrument w/no effects in the mix,
Like everybody seems ta be doing now?
Thanks audio dude, you rock!!
I have a master bus and a lead vocal bus and a harmony bus. But when I try to export a mix the buses option wants to create three tracks made up of the three buses. I want a master bus mix... If i select master only, muting the vocal buses...I get a mix without vocals, of course. I have checked the routing and it is correct. Something simple I`m doing wrong here. Driving me nuts...Any advice ...?
I'm not fully understanding the question. What is the issue?
When i record does it actually create a fader automatically an how exactly can i send my recordings to a fader if one is not created
Are you referring to busses or just a fader on a track?
Just now watching these videos. I've been using Cakewalk for several years now (previously a Sonar user). Just curious, I've seen lots of videos (and this is typically the way I do it) where the effects on a bus, such as reverb, only have the wet turned up and dry turned all the way down so that the original signal doesn't come through the effect. I noticed that you didn't do that. Any particular reason?
Your description is the proper way to use it. I don't use that particular reverb so I just missed it on it.
May I know what is the advantage of using a separate bus for adding effects like this over giving effects to the same track itself? Is it simply for giving same effects to a group of tracks?
Thank you
You want to use busses for your effects so that tracks can share them. This saves on CPU power and it also makes for a better workflow. It also allows for bypassing effects quickly. 🤘🤘🤘
@@AudioSorcerer Thank you for the reply👍
why do i lose volume when I send the effects? it sounds better if i add them directly to the track
You shouldn't be losing volume by using them as send effects.
what is surround bus.. and when to used it?
You need to use a surround bus if you're doing surround sound mixing. (Ex. 5.1, 7.1, etc.)
Maybe a noob question but
1. do i have to send the bus to the master bus? What if I send the bus there? Does it add double the original track's volume to it?
2. What if i send the bus to an other bus? How does the master know, which bus was the last in the bus chain? (so it ignores the previous ones in the chain and plays only the last in the chain?). Or the master does take all buses and plays them all adding everything to the final mix?
3. When i export the final mix Cakewalk lets me add onl ytracks not buses to the mix, how to export buses, where do they go at exporting?
Ok, i got the answer to my questions now :D
1. The "Send" knob is used when you want to send only a part of the signal to the Bus or Aux channel (setting the amount with the knob next to it). This way you double the signal, and you will hear the original Track signal and the signal from the Bus where you sent the (newly created same) signal. The Gain fader below the Send row will interfere with the loudness of the track sent to the Bus. You can do anything with it then by managing the Bus settings, but you will still have the option to lower the sent amount of the original signal whenever you want at the original track's knob.
2. and 3. When you unthick the "Post" button below the "Send", Cakewalk doesn't do any processes BELOW the Send row - meaning it won't process the Gain below the Send so it won't interfere with the track's loudness (it will be sent with untouched loudness).
IMPORTANT! If you want to send the whole signal untouched to a Bus or Aux channel, it is much easier to set the "Output" (at the very bottom of the Track's view) to "Bus" - or the name of your Bus or Aux channel, so it will be sent there. This way the signal from the original track won't be included in the mix (it will technically be Muted without setting it to Mute) and it will go to the final mix only through the Bus you chose down there.
You can set the Output of your Buses and Aux channels to any Track or Bus that you just want - any Track, Bus, Aux channel with it's Output set to "Master" will be included in the Final mix / Export.
Glad you got it figured out 👍
@zoltanbereczki8067 Can you explain the difference between bus and aux track? I understand buses but don't see why you would use aux track? Thx.
what is aux track and what is post and pre post
I don't have a video on Aux tracks within Cakewalk. Here is a video all about pre and post: ua-cam.com/video/8BX5-EkCFbY/v-deo.html
How to add a reverb and delay send onto the same track in cakewalk?
Just add another send. You can have multiple sends per track.
I have been trying to add multiply sends all of last night, after adding the verb send i add insert a new aux track then put a delay on it then try adding the delay send but all that did was to change from the verb send to the delay send. I think you should do a video show how its done.
Why send the Reverb to a bus, and not including it directly in the FX section?
That's not how you are supposed to use time-based effects. You use them on buses so that instruments can share them.
@@AudioSorcerer thanks for the response. I still have a lot to learn. What is the difference between the gain and levels adjustments? Both adjust the input volume, don’t they?
If I route multiple tracks to one reverb bus, how does that work once i want to export tracks to someone else for mixing? Do i export just the buses? If I do that, will they only get the reverb bus on it's own or do they get everything track that was sent to that reverb bus? Thanks
Typically the mix engineer will apply their own reverb when mixing the song. If you have a specific reverb on a specific instrument that is a must and you want to export them together, just solo the track and then export it.
@@AudioSorcerer thanks so much for the reply. Solid the track AND the aux track that has the reverb on it? So I send the guy both?
I would just export the track with the reverb on it if your going to use it. Exporting a track picks up anything it's routed to on its way out to the master bus.
@@AudioSorcerer oh perfect thanks!
So if you do it this way you don’t need and aux track?
You can use either or.
@@AudioSorcerer ok cool I’m still debating which software to use I have mixcraft 9 pro to I’m just not good with mixing vocals that’s what I’m really trying to learn.
Oh I've got a lot more questions. You still didn't cover how to drop specific effects to specific points in a song. I can do what you just did without creating a bus at all. Please continue explaining how to drop effects at a specific point in a track. It seems that no one knows but everybody but me does it.
Can you be more specific? I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
what view is this?
What do you mean?
@@AudioSorcerer how do u get to that screen
@@TalesofGore337 it's the "console" at the bottom of the screen. press the expand arrows on the bottom right
The whole idea of Cakewalk, is to walk. Using buses defeats the object.
Anybody who mixes properly uses buses or aux tracks. 👍
I see you missed the bus.@@AudioSorcerer
Bro takes a year until he gets to the point 😂
There are chapters in the video so you can fast forward to the information you want. 👍
