   Perfect for when you are on the go.

   Bandlab may not be as powerful as the other DAWs out there. But the one thing it does have is a mobile app. The app is constantly improving on itself and the support team is very personable. There are limitations such as no way to creat busses and limited to only 16 tracks. But you can utilize other software to enhance tracks if needed. For someone who is always on thr Go and theres not much time to work on a project at home or in the studio bandlab will be your hero. You can simply arrange from your phone where ever you are. The plug ins are very elaborate and powerful as well. They have virtual instruments which i have yet to see from the few other DAWs ive used. And their online Mastering is actually very very rich in sound if you gain stage correctly. Between me and you. I also love the cloud aspect of it. I use bandlab as a form of backing up my work in case disaster occurs. So for that they get give stars.

   🏁 Competitors: FL Studio Mobile

   👍 Pros:    Cloud storage|Mobile app|Simple yet powerful and efficient tool|Virtual product generator

   👎 Cons:    Limited features|No bus|Sometime not work smooth & lagging

• Ran out of breath during the chorus and nearly passed out haha.

  It does just have a silly hole and leaks saliva like mad. Should get it a tiny sanitary napkin haha. I'm using Cakewalk mostly, or https://bandlab.com which is the same thing on the web. Source: 10 months ago

• Digital music creation newbie here

  Yeah, BandLab is simple and easy to get up and running and could be worth trying. (Well, I've tried BandLab online at bandlab.com rather than the app.) It's self-contained and comes with its own instruments. I think it could do ambient and cinematic, but I won't vouch for orchestral-level cinematic per se (but getting orchestras to satisfy me in any DAW might involve more tweaking than I would bother with.).

  Bandlab.com works in browser, comes with lot of loops, some instruments and effects included. 50M total users - you can easily find somebody for collaboration, more people can work together.

• Best DAW for putting E-drum tracks on PC

  I'm a big fan of Reaper (reaper.fm). It's technically not free, but $60 is totally worth it, plus you can trial it full featured, indefinitely. Source: 6 months ago

• What Is the Future of the DAW?

  If you use the Linux port, you may want to use Yabridge to load Windows VSTs in a transparent way. http://reaper.fm/ https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Where do I start designing my own audio for my games?

  My recommendation would be Reaper from reaper.fm Reaper is used in the video game industry due to it's customization, routing, batch processing and scripting capabilities. It's very customizable and has small CPU footprint. Source: 9 months ago

• I use Vegas Pro 14 mostly for audio editing, should I upgrade to Vegas Edit or Vegas Pro?

  Audio only? Don't torture yourself. Reaper's based on the early Vegas platform, easy to learn and use, and one of the most powerful audio editing tools out there: http://reaper.fm/. Source: 10 months ago
