Anybody getting goods sounds with the effects in Cakewalk HS? I have used echo &

C-1st, The only effects I use now,are reverb,(for harmonica, and drums), and delay,(for vocals). you have to play around with it abit. I am new to this too. I found on my system, If I use too many effects my tracks fall out of sync. I am sure you can find the best sound for you. remember to mix down your audio before you export it, for the effects to be recorded.
...peace.

What version of Cakewalk HS?
I've upgraded to Cakewalk HS 2002 (and the only useful feature over HS 9 is the real time effects). If you use the reverb, there are some good presets to choose from. The graphic EQ can also come in handy. The eq also has presets, but not much of a selection.

Look Mom, I can play!
There are a zillion different reasons why suggesting a perfect set of settings for recording would not be very helpful. Mainly cos it depends on what you are recording and we can't hear what you have got
The quest you are starting out on (Home Recording) will take you on an adventure of discovery first of all for your chosen software. And then, when you've cracked that, you have recording techniques to master, and when thats done, you have the subtle art of mixing/mastering to get to grips with. Oh, and add to all of that are the vagaries of your soundcard, operating system, computer behaviour, hardware, plug-ins, midi files, soundfonts, sysnths, Dxi etc.
I suggest that you do some research into the different settings until you know what each of them does, so you begin to understand the consequences of making changes to certain parameters.
A great site that has a very good range of articles on EQ, Reverb, Mixing etc is the Pro Recording site.
Check it out on:
http://prorec.com/prorec/prorec.nsf
Punch in EQ or Reverb in the search slot and see what comes up.
But I can tell you, I use the Room and Unplugged settings in HS2002 reverb the most, especially for vocal and acoustic guitar.
And the best Reverb I have ever heard is sonic timeworks ReverbX @$199 but has a full 14 day free use download. Or its predeccessor the 4080L (reviewed in ProRec - check it out) @ $119 is also highly regarded. See for yourself:
