If you really want to be informative try doing comparisons to other DAWS instead of just older versions of the same proggy...


This is very much a work in progress. That's certainly one thing we will consider. There will be more interview style videos and other discussions to keep it fresh. And of course we are monitoring the forum and YouTube page for feedback.

I liked the second episode a lot. I'll probably start using Aux tracks. Just wish it was possible to combine Folder and Audio tracks functionality and use Aux track as a Folder and vice versa.


My sentiments. The 2nd CakeTalk is helpful. Nice and loose presentation. Several good ideas presented in a short time frame. These CakeTalks I think are going to be something to look forward to.

I'm with everybody on this. The 2nd one is a big improvement.

We will definitely keep refining based on feedback. I think the great thing about this is that we put it out, listen, and adapt. And we will try different topics and even formats and see what people like.

You guys do it all the time with Sonar. Thats why we are so impressed with it. "Doing what people like" that is a great slogan for CW,

"...clean track, so you can see the transients" - never thought of that. A free tip on the side, thanks!

Likewise. 2nd vid so much better and helpful. I admit, I do not try, or investigate, all the added stuff since we went month to month. I did in the 'old days' with each new version of cake, spending maybe 2 weeks or more getting to know it, buying each vid tutorial etc, but now, I either don't have time, or I'm lazy. Cant decide which !! I read the ezine's, read the blogs (sometimes), but now I will watch all these shorts episode's so I can decide what's useful and worth investigation. I wasn't using aux tracks, but started using them a couple of days ago. I will use the new tempo mapping, but it's a one off for me to pull a feature out of the updates these days. So, keep the episodes coming please. The last format was great. Thanks.

These videos transport me back to the days of Seth and Ryan, and this sort of thing has been notoriously missing for at least a few years . . . glad to have it back. I really enjoy the looseness of the presentation, two casual guys trying to show the how and why of some new Sonar features.
 
What I take away from the videos is a better understanding of these new features. Especially . . . watching the second video about the new Aux tracks feature . . . I must admit I had totally panned this new feature because I didn't get what it was really about. (And I read the manual about it many times) Watching Dan and Joey's video made the light bulb come on . . . it is actually something I will find useful in my recording workflow, now that I understand how to apply it.
 
For those of us who learn visually, I'm very glad Cakewalk have brought this type of video series back to life, and really think if it can become a weekly, or at least monthly thing it will be most appreciated by all. The production costs are low, and that's a good thing, so it will hopefully be more sustainable this time . . . it's just two Sonar experts sharing their knowledge of the new features.
The "Cake TV" concept is finally back to being what it should be.

This episode was very informative and I enjoyed watching it.  For some reason, I never thought about using aux tracks this way!  Maybe it was due to me not fully understanding the signal flow, but what a time-saver!  There have been many times that I wish I could just record the full-modded input sound from my synths but always assumed I would need to record DI and then copy all of my FX from the bin to Clip-FX, then bounce down, or bounce to track.  But what a waste of time!!!
 
Keep more episodes like #2 coming!  I appreciate it!
