BandLab | Beginner's Guide to Music Creation

As a complete newbie to this, this presentation was way too fast to follow!

Heya,
I'm sitting with a problem with bandlab. I have a particular problem with importing files and then recording like for example I have a recording of voice and then want to put harmonica in that vocal audio

My head is spinning 😢

Can Bandlab control external midi devices such as synthesizers?

Thankyou so much

Hello I am struggling my layout doesn't look like yours on the screen can you

So when someone (JHS Pedals in this case) says that they've uploaded stems to BandLab, how and where do I find them to play along with?

Thanks for the vid and band lab looks interesting . I was wondering if it has the ability to record myself live ( guitar) via a mic so I can just add ( with click track ?) drums etc Also and maybe more important is the question of copy write , in other words can my ideas/recordings be 'nicked'?

bruh all i need to know is how to add the beat and no video is showing me that this is so frustrating

I hope you don't mind my leaving a question here. I've tried to find a customer service # for BandLab but haven't been successful. Hopefully this will make sense… my daughter is a dancer and there's a word in one of her solos that we needed to change. She figured out how to change it in BandLab (she replaced it with another word cut from the song), and it sounds perfect. But now the file size seems much smaller. Does BandLab decrease the audio quality when you export/save… whatever that process is called.
She does perform on a variety of stages with professional sound systems, so I'm worried we made the quality worse and if so.. not sure if there's a fix to that. If you would have time to answer my question I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!

How do I set the BPM for an instrumental that I would be using for a rap song recording?

Unfortunately BandLab is not DJ friendly if you're trying to record a mix. You can pay for a membership and BandLab still cuts off recordings at the 15-minute mark. I don't understand why they don't give the option to store files locally since they're being very stingy with their cloud storage given you can only record up to 15 minutes. I guess BandLab should make it clear the service is primarily aimed at music producers and not DJs or any musician wishing to record long sets.

Thank you! We are making game and this will help us :D thx

Thank you for this great video! You got me started on BandLab ...

Pete, Thank you for the very instructive video. I have been learning how to use the Bandlab during the covid19 period. I have created a drum track, my ukulele recording and a bass track. Is there a way to 'lock' these tracks, to prevent newbie collaborators from recording over my tracks?

I've had a bit of an itch to create some sounds lately but was looking for an inexpensive way to play around prior to committing to purchasing software. Thank you for the tutorial.

Hello, please I need your help.
I tried to make an Acapella video but I realized that the Acapella app can only be used with iphone. I came across "bandlab" and I decided to record my vocals and harmonies separately then make a video separately like celebrities do for "music videos".
Anyway I tested the app in a quiet place but there is this loud buzzing, radio frequency/ ping noise that I keep hearing when I listen back. I don't know what's wrong. I tried deniosing, using autotune, and some FX on the app but nothing worked Please help 🙏🏾
Also I noticed the more tracks I record the louder the noise gets . I'm not really trying to create studio quality, I just wanna record my vocals and harmonies, just Acapella.

Good stuff, lets say you have an electric drum kit, I suppose you would use your interface but would you do this in vocals or what? Sorry I'm new to this

Dude this is a horrible Video. You are all over the place. Is there anyone out there that can simply walk you through recording step.. by step... For example
1 Start New track
2 find tempo
3 create loops
4567 and all the rest comes as you go. I don't care how much you know about the program. Teach it right!!!

Very, very nice and easy to follow. I actually had a couple of questions that you already addressed in your video and now I'm ready to get started. Thank you!!!!!

Good work

Where is cycle recording loop on Android

Your videos are great but really blurry

Dear Pete, do you know I you can go with pitch mode on the keyboards on BL as you can use it with GB Glissando, Scroll and Pitch?
This function allows me sliding while playing, which is a very important effect in EDM.
I just tried to make a beat with BL, but GB seems to be much more intuitive and easier to handle. It was not necessary to watch for a tutorial regarding the basics.
But I don’t throw my hope away with BL a little brother as complement for GB to have.
Big up your work Pete. You’re the coolest Tutor.😎

Well explained. Thank You. I will get there (eventually)

Can I use the music I create on other social media platforms?

Hi a trying to get information about creator kits how to get in I got bandlab in 3 devices non of them got access to creators kit any tips on this

I guess the only thing that interests me is clicking on the red button so I can use the "DAW." The rest of it.....meh.

Nice! I've tried it out before a while back and I think it's improved quite a bit.

Maybe I’m a dumbass but on iPad it looks nothing like this and doesn’t seem useful

Just what I was looking for! I was like 100 too 🙂👍

So happy you finally explored this! Very underrated app imo

Hi Pete. I played around with BandLab 2 years ago. I found that it was giving me some sounds that I couldn't get in GB (at least not then) and also gave easier collaboration with band members during Covid-19 lockdown. BUT, the latency was driving me mad. As you are known for being Mr Garageband iOS and you have built your channel (mostly) around GB, here comes the inevitable question: maybe it is too early to ask, but how do you rate BandLab in comparison?

Just the tutorial I was hoping for. You are a great teacher and I look forward to more on Bandlab. Thanks for sharing this!

This is very cool. Thank You for the introduction. Looking forward to your tutorials. : )

Great intro to Bandlab. Curious to know how this works on iOS? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Thanks as always Pete.

Hey Pete, thanks for another awesome video! Two questions:
1. I noticed the “upload” button. Is it possible to somehow upload from garageband to th is platform?
2. Do MIDI keyboards work well in this platform?

hey

Thanks for Your wonderful content! The invite function means this web app has great future

So glad you are doing this- this is a program I have really wanted to learn to use!

That's quite cool but it can be quite cumbersome to create on line, even if it has the advantages of sharing in cross-platform. Is there a way to import from one's regular DAW ? Cheers Pete

As an bandlab user, I can approve this very helpful, keep up the good work👍

Looking at it on my phone! ...😭

Thanks for this Pete, it's kinda exciting that you're doing this with BandLab,.I've been needing something to reinvigorate my interest in this, seems like you already know more than I do
🤔😆 Cool stuff !

Bummer, I had started to import tracks into Bandlab, but it looks like it has a maximum of 16 tracks according to the documentation. Looks like we'll have to do some merging.

Anxious to hear if problems have been fixed in BL.

That default drum pattern is straight out of an Aerosmith track :)

Looks like a great DAW for a browser based application.

Pete I’m really happy you always take the time to reach out and help people learn, making guides of all levels for all people. If you ever dare to get back on logic, I will be so excited to watch more videos! It’s been a year since I started on IOS garage band, and your videos are the only reason I kept pushing this passion. Now, I think I’m ready to take it to the next level, and get a MacBook with Logic!

I love bandlab! I feel like it might be like the next big music making type thing
