Studio-grade vocal chains for the DAW that’s free

Cakewalk by BandLab is one of the wildest deals in music production — a full-featured professional DAW with no cost, no subscription, and a ProChannel module that rivals paid channel strips. Our Cakewalk vocal presetstake advantage of that ProChannel architecture directly.

Each preset ships as a Cakewalk track template (.cwt). Open the File menu, Insert From Template, pick a chain, and the full vocal processing loads on the selected track — ProChannel EQ, compressor, tube saturation, tape simulation, plus plugin inserts for gate, reverb, delay.

Compatible with Cakewalk by BandLab 2020-01 and all later monthly updates. Windows only. Built on stock ProChannel modules plus stock Sonitus plugins — no third-party downloads required.

Revitalize old sessions

Revitalize old sessions

If you’ve got mixes from the SONAR era sitting around, drop one of our ProChannel-native chains on the vocal and hear how much air it adds. Works beautifully as a “new pass” on old project files.

The Vocal Vault

The free DAW, unlocked with pro chains.

Cakewalk inherits twenty-plus years of SONAR development for free, plus BandLab’s continued updates. Most users are shocked their DAW does this much out of the box. Our chains assume you’re taking advantage of the ProChannel tube saturation, console-emulation modes, and stock Sonitus suite — everything that makes Cakewalk sound Cakewalk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need third-party plugins for these Cakewalk vocal presets?
No — every chain uses Cakewalk’s stock ProChannel modules (EQ, PC4K, PC76, Tube, Tape) and bundled Sonitus plugins. Nothing external required.
How do I install a Cakewalk track template?
Copy the .cwt file into your Cakewalk user templates folder, or open Cakewalk → File → Import → Track Template and point it at the file. The chain loads on the selected track.
Which Cakewalk versions are compatible?
Cakewalk by BandLab 2020-01 and all later monthly releases. Also works in SONAR Platinum with minor tweaks (some template paths change).
Is this Windows only?
Yes — Cakewalk by BandLab is Windows-only. There is no Mac version of Cakewalk.
Do these chains use ProChannel or the regular plugin rack?
Both — chains layer ProChannel modules (for console-style EQ and compression) with plugin rack inserts (for reverb, delay, gate). That’s how Cakewalk’s native workflow layers sit.
Can I modify the chain after loading it?
Yes — every ProChannel module and every plugin insert is live and tweakable. Save modified chains as new user templates for future use.
Does the chain load automation and sends too?
Yes — track templates in Cakewalk carry sends, automation envelopes, and bus routing. Everything loads with the preset.
Are these royalty-free?
Completely. Commercial releases, sync, anything.
