What’s up guys—Chris Lee back with another United Destiny Entertainment tutorial. In this video I’m showing you a song I recorded and mixed inside of Cakewalk, and I’m proving (again) that you can get a professional sounding record in this DAW with no AI needed. Years ago I told y’all Cakewalk was free and that video went crazy, and now with the word on the streets about them relaunching and charging for a full version, I wanted to jump back in during 2025 and show you exactly what this software can do. I walk you through my real session: console view (Alt+2), my vocal chain using the Sonitus plugins that come with Cakewalk, and how I set up reverbs/delays and vocal FX buses without chewing up a ton of RAM. I also show how I automate volume, pan, reverb sends, and delay sends to create movement—like panning a vocal left to right and adding extra reverb/delay in specific lines. On top of the stock tools, I explain how I’ll add third-party plugins (like Waves and Ozone) if I want to push the mix even further. Bottom line: Cakewalk is powerful, fun to mix in, and fully capable of radio-ready results if you know what you’re doing.
