Now that you've downloaded Cakewalk Next, it's time to record some music. Most musicians enjoy recording using a microphone to record their vocals or instruments, whichever the case, here's how you can do so!
- Open Cakewalk Next
- From the Start Screen, click New Project then select Empty Project
- Click the + Add Track button in the track view, top left of the UI
- In the drop down menu, select either Mic/Line In, or Instrument
- Check the icons for Track Record Arm and Track Monitor on the track.
- Speak into the microphone, and adjust the input gain on your interface while checking the metering on your track. If you’re using a USB mic, you can adjust the input gain either on the device, or via your device's sound settings.
- Press R to record, then Spacebar to stop. Press Spacebar again to listen to what you just recorded!
