- Open Cakewalk by BandLab.
- From the Start Screen, click New Project then select Empty Project
- Click the [+] Add Track button in the track view. At the top of this menu, you will see Audio and Instrument. Choose Instrument.
- The first drop-down menu represents the synth that will be used. This defaults to TTS-1, but if you have other software instruments, click the box and select your instrument from the list.
- The second menu is to select your Input. If you're using a MIDI keyboard controller, select the controller, or All Inputs > MIDI Omni. Otherwise, Omni or Virtual Controller > MIDI Omni should allow for any input device to be recognized.
- Check the box for Record Enable, then click Create to add the track. If you want to use your computer’s keyboard as a controller, check Open Virtual Controller as well.
- Select a patch (sound) from your plugin, and use the virtual controller or your own controller to make sure you hear the correct patch.
- Press R to record, then Spacebar to stop. Press Spacebar again to listen to what you just recorded!
