Mike, with your help, I (finally) got pretty good with Cakewalk. It's quite a capable program and the price was right. Since a couple of my musical friends are using Studio One, I now have it too. This video is a great start for beginning the migration. Thank you. Stay well!
Hello, I switched to S1 (artist) since June 2023 following your video, this version of S1 is enough for me for the moment, but I am thinking of switching to the subscription version. To transfer a project from Cakewalk to Studio one I use MIDI export for the VST but you have to re-configure the virtual instruments to S1. For the wav tracks of the voices or instruments played I export all the tracks. So I redo the mixes on S1 (I'm an amateur, so I improve my techniques). I am French with very approximate English. I use the RU-vid transcription translator to better understand your always very interesting videos, thank you.
Brilliant video, thanks Mike. I started the migration from Cakewalk to Studio One when I bought a Presonus audio interface and S1 Artist version was included for free. Subsequently I upgraded to the full Studio One Professional by taking advantage of the Presonus cross-grade option, whereby users who can show they've paid for a different DAW can claim a 25% discount. Like many others, I'd paid full price for Sonar before it went free, but luckily Presonus accepted a copy of my Cakewalk Command Centre order history as evidence. By the way, although I've been using Studio One for over a year now, I still found things I didn't know in your video!
Hi Mike, thank you so much for this tutorial. Having taken the plunge and got Studio One on a great Black Friday deal I have found some of these tips by trial and error (mostly error) but this video will be invaluable to me. If in the future you can do a video on here or Creative Sauce on a easy way to get as much of a ongoing song project in Cakewalk transfered to Studio One that would be really helpful. Cheers 😍
studio one has a feature where you can still use many of the hotkeys from other DAWs including cakewalk. I've decided to just learn the new hotkey commands.
Hey Mike - I've been a long-time viewer of both your channels, but I've never interacted. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your content. I'd been using Sonar/Cakewalk since 2008. I was one of those people holding on to that platform for dear life up until October of this year. I was in between projects, and just said to myself 'I'm going to use Studio One for a month and not open Cakewalk' - and my goodness was I silly for not switching before. S1 blows Cakewalk out of the water, and I'm working so much faster in S1 than I was before. Thanks for your tutorials, I'm excited to see how much more music I make now because of simply switching DAWs.
I use a template and it records the wave file with the name of the project, name of the Track., Rec and some number. Cakewalk also knows about the interfaces. With my band I record the band with the default template. At home I have my Audient interface and Cakewalk does not ask me anything. Just plays it back. I should not make any changes to the template with the wrong interface however, then it screws up the input channels (I understand that )
I've just pulled the trigger on buying Studio one professional 6, have been using Cakewalk, is there a simple/best way to load previous work from cakewalk into Studio one, or do i import/load each track indiviually from my cakewalk project. Any tips ?
Migrating from Cakewalk to Reaper. Much prefer Reaper’s ability to customize and its advanced flexibility. Reaper is so much cheaper too, with a huge community, tons of extensions, and ongoing updates. No downside.
Ok for you, but as a long time Cakewalk user, I couldn’t get on with Reaper at all - I found it fiddly and difficult to learn. I just want to make music with a great workflow. Even Samplitude is tons easier and more intuitive IMHO. Studio One has simplicity and great workflow in spades. It won me over hands down over everything else on the market. No problem with your view - it works for you - but I would strongly advise others to try both Reaper and Studio One before committing.
Just started using Studio 1 and I'm having a plug in problem. For some reason Studio 1 recognizes plugin files which have a .dll extension but will not recognize a file with a .vst3 extention. Any body have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks for the demo, I've just moved from Cakewalk to Studio One. When dragging and dropping Addictive Drums into Studio One is there an option to create one separate track per instrument like in Cakewalk?
Great video, very helpful! 1 question... you mentioned that in S1, in the mixer, MIDI tracks are not shown (?). But then, when I'm mixing my completed song, how do I also mix the MIDI tracks?? Thx.
