After you open the drop-down menu, the Pro Channel displays a variety of high-quality effects that are instantly usable. The Pro Channel is a special part of the console. The gain knob controls the audio level before any of it hits the special effects, volume, or sends. Each console track displays the clip gain, a drop-down menu with the Pro Channel, a post/pre effects selector, sends, panning, mute/solo controls, volume, I/O routing information, and the track name. In the console, each of the individual tracks is displayed vertically, similar to a mixing board. One aspect of Cakewalk’s unique layout is the console. In the timeline, the foreground & background color of individual tracks can be changed via Track Properties in the Inspector.

Like most other DAW’s, Cake can assign colors to tracks for easier navigation. BandlLab includes a theme editor, which allows an image editing software to change the colors and style of most of the windows.Īs a default, Cakewalk comes with two themes: Tungsten, a darker theme, and Mercury, a lighter theme. If you find yourself disliking your current mix, or if you want to return to a setting that you had before, select ‘Mix 1’ to instantly restore all of your settings to the moment when you saved your mix.Ĭakewalk gives the users a lot of customization ability, and one where the user has a lot of control is theme customization. Pressing ‘save scene’ creates an exact copy of all of your current levels, plugin settings, instruments, MIDI information, and more.

A feature that is unique to Cakewalk is the ability to save and recall mixes. At 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.
