CakeTV (in HD) New!

CakeTV is now on the air!

We're pleased to announce four dedicated channels for your viewing pleasure. CakeTV will continue to expand and grow until it's an autonomous, sentient being bent on human destruction. Until then here's a rundown of what's currently showing.

First and foremost is SONAR University where you can dip your toes or dive head-first into a sea of SONAR knowledge. It's divided into three courses. Get Started will familiarize you with basic operation and Go Deeper will take you further into how certain features can be applied. When you're ready for more, the Master Class offers a comprehensive tour of SONAR's workflow as it relates to a particular aspect of music production.

The Artist Spotlight channel has the latest information on how the pro's use Cakewalk products and Backstage Pass gives a behind the scenes look at the various trade shows and events Cakewalk participates in all over the globe.

And if you've only got time for a snack, check out Quick Bytes for product promos, sneak peaks and more.

If for some reason you experience any trouble viewing CakeTV, here are direct links to the SONAR U videos on our YouTube channel.

    Thanks to Cakewalk Product Specialist Mike Trujillo for this video.
     
    I just wish someone at CW would reconsider suggesting a 128 value for the Playback I/O buffers in Audio Options.
    In the 7 years I've been participating here, I've seen so many people need to raise that to at least 256 (my own default is 512) due to dropouts, etc.
     
    This video isn't going to help in that regard, as it suggests 128.  And it's one of those variables that do cause confusion to many.   It would be nice to see this and other variables like it addressed in more detail.

    Hey Billy,

    I don't know if I really agree. Most of us here use 128 as it makes playback much more instantaneous, even on our laptops. I would consider 256 safe (which is why it is default) and 512 to be uber-safe. I mean I guess it depends on how many tracks you are trying to play back, but I don't think suggesting 128 is out of line, especially for newer, modern drive systems like SSD as the video states.

    While not going too deep I realize, the video explains that this effects how quickly play and record engage. It also suggests that you experiment with what is best for your particular computer.

    We particularly wanted to cover this as a lot of people think it effects their latency and it doesn't.

    While we're at it, I planned on polling the forum to see what types of things you guys would like to see, in any of the new video series. A deeper explanation of disk buffers could certainly be one.

    Brandon, I doubt many users have SSD drives yet ;)   And, sure 128 is probably good for those who know how to tweak their systems.
     
    Perhaps suggesting the 'safe' approach for new users would have been, er, safer? LOL
     
    But, I agree - a lot of people think it has to do with latency, so from that perspective it's good the video explains its use.

    To be fair, 128 actually works on faster, large cache spindle drives as well (not just SSD). Especially for those using mostly VSTi's etc. I mean it's really a gray area and pretty user specific. There's actulaly always been a lot of debate within Cakewalk at what the best default value is. It's a matter of balancing lack of dropouts with speedy, hardware-like, playback.

    Eiher way. we always appreciate the feedback Billy, and will strive to offer ever clearer, and ever more useful info as time goes on.

    My hope also is that the subsequent discussion that is spawned by each video will be perhaps as helpful to users as the video itself.

    FWIW, I've experimented with different values, and without doubt I can use 128 easily as well; but there are always those large projects that seemed to need some further tweaking, and raising the playback i/o buffer in those cases, without fail, resulted in better performance/no dropouts.   So one reason I keep it at 512 is because there really isn't much lost in doing so.  The only real penalty, so to speak, is a tiny bit more memory used.  For me it's worth having a sweet spot that I can just leave alone.
     
    And, with regard to your last sentence, this discussion has, in fact, resulted in useful info for all :)

    In this regard, I submit that ACT is (again) a prime canditate.  A lot of the videos that are out there still don't seem to convey clearly enough how to actually go about using it, from all the posts I see referring to it.
     
    Another would clearly be AUDIOSNAP.  Again, I think if CW would do greater detailed videos, it would serve us all well.
     
    Just perusing the forum posts might give you an idea of the most needed 'help' and 'info' items that would be useful, I would think.

    Audio Snap 2.0 on aligning drum tracks would be nice.  I don't think I've seen a tutorial video on this yet.

    But, something that really needs to be done are videos on how to do parallel compression, two-stage compression, sidechaining, etc.  A video series like that, from beginner to advanced mixing techniques all performed in Sonar would totally rock!

    Thanks for the suggestions Billy and Jose. These are definitely the types of things we have planned.

    Next week should see a SONAR: Master Class video on drum production, featuring SSV2.0, PX-64, SD3 and lots of other stuff.

    But the techniques really are the same so I wonder if CW would better serve its customer base by focusing on features that are specific to Sonar?

    That's true. 
     
    However, most of the time you have to translate what you see in those videos to the workflow in Sonar.  Some people may not know how to do that, and that's where these kind of videos would help our user base.  Not to brag, but I personally don't need these kinds of videos (and I'm sure you don't either), so it is more for those who don't know these techniques.  It is also more exciting when you see it done in your own DAW :-)
     
    Take care!

    I just watched the first video. And I watched it knowing it wouldn't show me something I didn't already know.

    Yeah I was wrong!!

    I liked the HD version. I could watch it full screen. Not very much pixelation. Nice Job CW. Hope the rest are like this.

    Kudos to CW, this is an excellent video, the script, voice-over and screenshots are all very clear, steady (good flow, not rushed and not too slow) basically... straight to the point :)

    True there are variables (gray area) for initial setup bc NOT all PC sys' DAW setups are identical.  In this video 'Initial Audio Config' does explain the need to 'experiment', other options a lot of users would not thing about, along with good close-up screenshots of the settings/options should make it really easy for new users to follow.

    From there, I suggest doing the next steps such as;
    . Midi Controllers + ACT.
    . Plugin Manager
    . Templates
    . Getting comfy with K/board shortcuts.
    . Overview, Rec, Editing Tips in Trk-V
    . Overview, Rec, Editing Tips in PRV

    In future - SONAR releases; will these videos be added - directly accessible in the Start-Page and Help Menu?

    Anyway! Keep up the excellent work CW, greatly appreciate all the efforts you guys put in.

    Late Edit:
    PS: I've been following CW on FB and Twitter, to keep up to date on what's happening. It's cool, whereas on these forums spam seems to get unmoderated regardless of me reporting it to CW, is the report feature broken?.

    (excerpt from previous post):

    In future - SONAR releases; will these videos be added - directly accessible in the Start-Page and Help Menu?

    Just to extend on that; suggestion to include a fold-out (cardboard info-sheet about the size of a k/board)...

    . Tips; on initial setups/configurations and more (basically what's in the 'Get Started' videos).
    . On the Flip-Side; K/Board shortcuts - over a graphical image of an actual k/board.

    I would love to see a video on how to set up key bindings and how to customize your Sonars desktop.. 
     I have learned not to touch buttons if I dont know what they do, as I have in the past and messed up things for weeks and pissed myself off. Messing with the wrong buttons can mess up everything globally and be a nightmare to get back .. I like to record and not have to tinker with settings wasting my time. If its not clear cut, no need to waste time just record and deal with a cluttered screen. all though I have never attempted to customize My Sonar Ever. But posters on here say sonar is the most customizable DAW,  Templates or videos would be great on this.. Thanks John

    You would be surprised at how much time and effort it takes to even create the short videos posted up on the web. Not the ones where people are just walking around with a pocket camcorder, but the ones that are professionally produced. They take a lot of work to do them right.

    I want to see a walk-through video inside of a tutorial that is part of a how-to. Preferably narrated by Leo DiCaprio with a Hans Zimmer score.

    Scott's right (thanks Scott) that making a quality video really is an awful lot of detailed work. It's always surprising to a person when they first embark on the process.

    Having said that, we'll have a new SONAR: Get Started video up later today and the first SONAR: Master Class by end of the week, if not sooner. (The first Master Class is somewhere around 45 minutes so you can imagine it's quite an undertaking).

    This is a brilliant idea! We're going to fast track this one to pre-production.
