BandLab Technologies Reviews 99

Total joke.

But if for some reason you are looking for the most untalented rappers imaginable, then maybe this is the platform for you!

I pulled all my tracks because of the fake likes.

This website is pretty good, and is actually very easy to use when making music. You can easily use vocals, midi, drums, and any bandlab sounds. However, some features that I REALLY want to use are locked for me. I have to pay $15/Month, and $99/Year. That is REALLY annoying, and I wish they didn't want so much money. Other than that, good music app/website!

When you are recording on pc/laptop when you stack up more than 4 layers on your recording vocals it becomes laggy and not efficient to record with, a pain in the butt

BandLab to me was one of the best goto portable DAW solutions for the last 5-7 years. I'm a amateur hobbyist who enjoys recording rock/new wave within the confines of the platform and have made albums and albums of material over the last 6-7 years but it seems it's hit that point like all cloud/internet based mediums do where it's gotten too big and they need to pay for the petabytes of server space to host all of the creations.

The good is the interface is intuitive, it's easy (with some understanding of music production) to create a great music track. The features have gotten good enough I could create 100% on my cell phone if I preferred including all my guitar and bass parts.

The bad is that these days they constantly hound you to go pro, and have ads all over on the mobile version for free users, mitigating any good it does as a mobile DAW. It was okay when the ads weren't in the studio section. This makes it look suspicious.

Also, and this is less BandLab and more a user issue, having such unfettered access to creativity leads to a lot of your phone space being eaten up by track stems and other audio data. So I have to go in and clear out something like 30GB of said data from my phone yearly. On a 64GB cell phone that's a lot of space.

The web browser interface is great now, it's come a long way. But, using it exclusively kind of defeats the purpose of the platform in the way I originally intended to use it. If I'm doing that exclusively, then why should I use BandLab when I can use another product 100% free on my own computer? And have the file sources available full time?

I know some musicians are going to chide me for this "cheap" approach, but for those, not everyone has the money to pay per month for a cloud based DAW, and a lot of musicians are really broke.

Nothing truly awful, its just not for me anymore.

I am a paying customer for the Bandlab app for almost 6 months now. Although it is a great little app to make music on I do have a couple issues that drive me insane.
First off I keep getting 'flagged for going against community guidelines' I keep receiving these from liking and commenting on too many of my friends and co-artists posts. It's perceived as spam by thier software...... which is laughable for a couple reasons. Primarily because I thought the whole purpose of this app was to be apart of a music community that supports one another in their music endeavor..... It's ridiculous the amount of actual spam, scam and other phishing garbage that actually does end up on your doorstep/inbox on the app. So when myself a genuine positive, contributing member is getting flagged for that...... like cmon. Fix your software to recognize the difference. I've also been trying to get verified on this app....so far unsuccessfully which is crazy as I'm verified on Spotify and Meta plats......
The other thing is unfortunately a lack of customer support... left multiple emails regarding certain issues as listed above with no response...... like hire me and others as community ambassadors if you need to but not responding to your paying customer baseis just rude. ...... breathe .....that was nice to vent if anyone ever even reads this long winded book
So in conclusion.... yeah not happy with the level of customer service at this point
Cool lil app for 25 bucks a month
If anything changes I'll come update
For a good time and some great music Check out:

I’m new to BandLab and just published my song “Ghost Dance” under the artist name Oxygen. The upload went through, but there’s a serious problem: I’m not that artist. We just share the same name, and BandLab published the track to his account. I never linked anything to his profile. I’ve been waiting ten days for support, but no one seems to care. If they fix this, I’ll update the review; if it’s still not updated, assume the issue persists.

Update: After roughly 20–30 days and several emails, BandLab finally corrected the mistake.

this is a good app/website i like it i can create music for free i never pay.

i have some issues

after creating a song i cant listen to it again found a workaround though if you install the app you can listen from there.

can be buggy and slow.

can randomly delete stuff.

other than those issues it is very good

Edit: this is crap cant even sign in on mobile anymore
wont let me access my songs anymore

Its good, You can do a lot for free
This should be rated higher,
Cmon

Come on! It is free and now everyone can make music. If you pay, then that was your choice. I always pay when i can afford. BEST website and app ever

i can no longer make music because where the create button is, is just gone and I've been looking all over the internet for problems like this but nothing so its just me but I'm just mad it wont work

Ive love it since I found it bottom line. At first every thing was free on it for the longest time and now it has turned into a business that is going well and now we can make money on it and they do distribution now way better than distro-kid wake up

terrible user interface, just use garage band on your iphone

So, I tried importing a MIDI file directly into the web version of BandLab, It was all going smoothly, until it wasn't. I'm having to wait at least 3 seconds to scroll, because of how slow it becomes, then upon saving, all the instruments suddenly become un-synced, which means I have to go back to the editor to re-align the notes. This shouldn't be happening especially on an Asus TUF Gaming PC. Then, the MIDI I imported to BandLab was originally 350bpm. When I finished, saved the project then left the editor, the song suddenly changed back to 240bpm, with the edits still being for 350bpm as it was originally, which for some reason means... it deleted half of my project, because it mistook 350bpm for 240bpm. The song just cuts off halfway, and there's no way of restoring or editing it, unless I return to square one with importing the MIDI. I have no idea how this is all just happening suddenly, since I imported a 350bpm MIDI in the past, and it accepted it and kept the song at 350bpm. At that point, I was just done and edited the MIDI elsewhere. So, if you want to make music on the go, please, don't go through the same pain, and download something like FL Studio Mobile instead...

Update: I'm now attempting to open BandLab with Opera GX and it's telling me to download the mobile app. Bro, fam, mate, it's Opera GX on Windows.

Every attempt to get a password failed. Ridicilous

BandLab's subscription only allows you to access your songs when you pay them. Stop paying and you lose access. Even more, their Cakewalk Forums regularly breach user confidential data and they refuse to fix the problem. It's not run like a serious business.

A total piece of dog t_rd. I've used this app for quite a long time now, and every single update is jam pack with new features that weigh it down till it can't play 2 tracks real time on a mid range phone. Every update sees NO bugs, glitches or issues resolved...it still suffers with the same problems from when i began using it. The only good thing I can say is "It's free" to use and you have access to most of it's super resource intensive features.... however, be prepared for a lot of lost work, screaming obscenities at it and probably a busted device from frustration.
A lot of frustration for me is centred around the progressive decline in performance and usability of the app. Ad for the web based version, get very used to "Aw Snap"! Frankly, who builds anything in a browser based environment that requires even the smallest a bit of grunt behind it....unless of course you are aiming to p1ss people off and get bad reviews.

Finalised several projects with BandLab.
Please don't change, you are perfect.

Unbelievably shi, its crashed and deleted all of my stuff multiple times in a row. i could have spent 2 hours making a song and all of it would be deleted. absolute dog shi. Also its not my device or internet because i've used it on all types of devices in completely different locations.

I really have a very big faith that in no time BandLab is gonna be on the top of the high tops in the Musical industry all over the world, as I have been trying for to long till I met You, and i spent almost a year before even start paying bandlab to help me as well as BandLab has been helping me for almost a year although that then I wasn't even a member yet.
Thank You BandLab and actually after I wrote this feedBack I would like to take it to the playstore and all the online reviews .
I love you guys.... and it's not the drugs am not even High LOL
Thank you

It's a good introduction into the world of music production for sure but the boosting campaigns are a straight up rip off. Don't pay the $ to boost your profile or songs.
