BandLab – Music Making Studio

I've been with bandlab for around 3 years now. And I haven't found a single other app that compares. Bandlab stands alone without exaggeration. They are constantly improving the app and fine tuning it, always adding new fun and useful features. They (developers) pay attention to our suggestions and work them in to the updates. They are on top of the feedback, even if you tend to be a bit...uncommon(???)... Idk how many people they have in their team, but they are all musicians who know their stuff and that's who responds when you have feedback. I have seen this app grow into an amazing place to create music...not just music; but professional quality, music you can be proud of, I think there's like millions of users??? Alot! And many are some pretty heavy hitters in the musical world. All over the world! Intermingling and ready to collaborate with YOU! Seriously! I've learned and grown so much more than I expected to because of this FREE app. Bandlab has become a home to me because of the devoted developers, the amazing musicians from all corners of the world, and the tools that allow me to create music that I could not do if bandlab wasn't available or cost $. Thank you bl devs... Y'all add the music to a muted world🖤

(be there with my first review they must have fixed it cuz everything works great now it's very easy to use although I cannot figure out how to delete a song I started working on that I do not like LOL Although it looked easy enough to use it crashed on me and I had to uninstall it. so what I said about was true. I'm redoing my review now because I decided to try it again and this app works great if you are on your phone recording with a mic plugged into it for singing!!!!!

Hey BandLab I can’t thank you enough for making it easy to record music like this. I use your app every time I write lyrics and was ready to make music, but something came up. The Ipad I used to make my music doesn’t work anymore so I bought a new iPad Air. Thing is I can’t connect any of my earphones or headphones to my iPad Air so I can’t really make music. My friend bought me a v8 to make my music high quality and studio like but it runs on Bluetooth. Please do everything you can to make BandLab support Bluetooth without any latency or delay and make it sound exactly how it sounds on wired earphones or headsets. I’d love to continue using your app to make music because other apps makes it complicated. And BandLab is the only app I’ll call a real studio without any equipment but I have a v8 to make my music sound better and I can’t use it on BandLab because it’s Bluetooth. Make Bluetooth work on BandLab and I’ll forever be grateful that you came into my life, if you can’t I understand and I’ll try to find something to continue making my music on wired earphones. Thank you for reading all of this, you’re the best.

So it’s a great app overall and I finally ran into an issue I made a brand new song was very proud and about to post it and I clicked save so I could go and tweak some things and make my audio more clear then only to realize the app only saved the beat and not my voice audio and my lyrics disappeared that I had written down aswell I’m overall really disappointed that out of all issues hat could have happened it was this issue I have never had issues until now I would love a reply from a developer or someone that can help me because maybe it got lost in like the apps cloud or something but I worked so hard on this song and now I have nothing but the beat no none of my vocals are there anymore, and my lyrics have been erased aswell off the app please someone write back and please fix this bug on your app at this point I’ve tried all I could to retrieve my lost vocals and lyrics so I’m trying to the developer please help me because I was really proud of this song and I hate dissapointing all my fans I have everywhere😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My time using that app has been absolutely amazing. I am an instrumentalist who specializes in woodwinds so I use this app to create my own arrangements of pieces I one day hope to conduct myself once I become a director. I started using the app when you could have up to 12 tracks and now you can have 16. The only issue I have is you can ‘only’ have up to 16 tracks. Yes, I know that seems like a lot when you’re looking at it, but when you’re arranging for a band that has around 20 instruments before percussion is even thought of, it gets really difficult to have that full sound you dream of and try to produce on your own. To be quite honest, the amount of tracks is the only thing I would change about the app as it develops. That app has helped me use music as an outlet even more than anything else has, but I’m still not able to do everything I want with the app which is difficult to feel like I’ve ever finished anything because I have to end up leaving half of the ensembles sound out of the recordings. Even if the number only went to 18 or 20 it would open up a whole new world of possibilities for aspiring musicians such as myself. Other than that one detail, the app is phenomenal and has so many options from types of reverb to adjusting the whole key of the piece by the scroll of your thumb. It is quite amazing and y’all should definitely check it out!

BandLab is an excellent app for music making and listening. I absolutely love it. That is, until a problem occurred. I went to get into the app just yesterday and instead of going in straight to my profile and the normal screen, it had the entire intro log in screen show up as if I logged out of my account, which I never do. When I tried logging in using my information, is kept on saying that I have “incorrect credentials”. So, I tried logging in with my google account instead. I thought it would work, but then I got a pop-up saying that my email is “already linked to a different account type”. So now, I can’t log in AT ALL, or access any of my stuff, which is really frustrating. It also makes me worried that my account somehow got lost, along with all of my stuff on it. I still get notifications telling me that people liked my song, or started following me, but even when I tap on the notification banner that shows up at the top of the screen to take me to the app, NOTHING HAPPENS. If you could please help in any way or give some sort of advice as to what I should do, thank you. My music is very important to me and I don’t want it to be lost forever with my account. Thank you.

It would be 5 stars... I love the app and this maybe just becausey phone has been hacked by nefarious people close to me, but I can only use it for about 20mins or so before it starts glitching. It takes me longer than it should to record or edit than I'd like. However the finished product is worth the extra time. I couldn't believe I could record something with such high quality from a phone!

I absolutely LOVE Bandlab. I have told alllll of my friends about it, and I have been on it nonstop since I figured out there was an app. (It’s a little funky on my Windows PC) Anywho, although this is a phenomenal app for bedroom artists; I am hoping to see better vocal editing features in the future. (Like pitch correcting/autotune etc) I enjoy the filters and effects they have available, but it would be nice to be able to stack filters, change the intensity of the effect without completely resetting the presets.. and separating vocals from instrumentals? Other than that it would be nice to merge layers (or just be able to add more! I’m running out of layer space and making one song with multiple projects!!) overall I would get the app. It’s easy to use, it’s fun, and it makes making music soo much easier than you could ever imagine it. Don’t let my suggestions deter you from the download! I’m hoping Bandlab will add those in the future and eventually you could they could take over GarageBand as the best iOS music editor lol. Thank you BandLab for your hard work and dedication to bringing music to everyday people like me

I like this app, it's great! But recently, I've noticed an audio problem; whenever I save a new project and listen to it, at least one instrument it set an octave higher than I placed it. But then, if I try to fix it (that is, I set the instrument an octave lower to hopefully "trick" it into using my preferred octave), it switches to the octave that I just set it, effectively making it an octave LOWER than I wanted. If you can find a way to fix this issue, I will change this review to 5 stars

Update: At this point it rarely works longer than an hour. I delete and download this multiple times a day to make one song :( it happens at any point. Right when I open the app. Or when I’m about to finish. Or when I’m in the middle of recording. It will just force close or suddenly sign me out and say I can’t sign back in. (Error or this link doesn’t exist) That’s when I have to delete it. Also, When I open an existing file. It will randomly say my microphone doesn’t work or I have to choose that option. But It was fine a second ago when I recorded. I’ll push record and it’s an old recording I deleted etc. these are the problems I have. But I still use it with all these frustrations because there’s nothing else out there like this.. So there is no other app out there like this. It’s amazing. I will continue to use it even though there are a few glitches and errors that occur. Sometimes for no reason. It will force close. Then I spend a few minutes deleting the app and downloading again. That seems to be the only suggestion from the support group. It does work but a little inconvenient. Sometimes songs just disappear. I’ve had a few occasions of them showing up again. But I’ve also lost a few. I just save them to my computer now. For me, the pros outweigh the cons. Only because I’ve never found a app this simple where you can record your music and singing. Also, the community is awesome :)

This is a good app to start makin music on! Has everything a beginner would need. Once you get the hang of it, you can make some fire music ngl. My only issue is that at times, i lose projects randomly on the mobile app! I have learned you can save them 9/10 on the computer version and they will be back on the phone. I have lost 1 project forever tho and so its scary every time...😭

OK bandlab pisses me off sometimes when I upload a song and I select the genre and picture for it sometimes it just won’t upload under the genre I selected Or with the right picture and it really frustrates me because I can’t seem to get my music where I want it to be without band lab changing the genre for no apparent reason and then when you go to delete it to re-upload it sometimes it will not delete it and the song will become glitched and unremovable and it really aggravates me having three versions of the exact same song on my profile and it triggers my OCD seeing a massive amount of unremovable songs on my profile like CAN I JUST HAVE A CLEAN PROFILE WITH 1 OF EVERY SONG NOT 3 COPYS!!!!!!! And also for some apparent reason not even bandlab support knows how to fix it I’ve tried to explain but every time the advice was useless UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!. *sigh*... so basically in conclusion if you want your music to get herd I would highly recommend a bandlab it’s really a great app but sometimes it just is so slow clunky and glitchy and The suppose it “support” they offer doesn’t really help for some of the things that is wrong with the app
