Cakewalk by BandLab gives musicians a workspace for turning song ideas into recordings on Windows. You can capture vocals and instruments, compose parts with MIDI, and arrange material across separate tracks. It suits projects that combine recorded sound with virtual instruments, from a simple demo to a more involved production. Development of this edition has ended.

Build a complete music project with layered recordings, instrument parts, editing, and a final mix.

Tracks can be edited as clips, while MIDI notes can be adjusted in a note editor. A mixer provides channel processing and effects, and automation lets levels and other settings change over time. You can add compatible virtual instruments and effects, rearrange workspace panels, and use an external MIDI controller. Completed projects can be exported as audio files.
