A feature that is unique to Cakewalk is the ability to save and recall mixes. The Mix lens quickly brings the mixing console to the front and center of the screen, and the Make Beats lens brings up the timeline and an empty drum pad matrix.Īt the top of the screen, Cakewalk displays the module section, which contains the transport, tool selection, metronome options, time signature, looper, marker placement, as well as a few others. The Advanced lens displays the full set of modules, the timeline, console, and folder browser. At the top right corner of the screen, there is a drop-down menu with quick access to workstation view presets. Workspaces in Cakewalk are referred to as lenses. The GUI and layout of Cakewalk is sleek, professional-looking, and largely has the same feel to previous Gibson-owned incarnations. You’ll find a bunch in our sample pack marketplace. Since MIDI controller names and audio drivers can often have long, unwieldy names that are difficult to remember, users can select the box “Use Friendly Names,” which allows the use to custom rename the drivers and MIDI devices to something shorter. There, the user can select their audio interfaces drivers, activate or deactivate inputs and outputs, setup MIDI controllers, and set the sample rate and bit depth for the session.
