   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

• What can I do with songs I’ve written?

  This Hookpad tool lets you do that. You can type in notes and syllables. The app will sync your syllables with the notes. Click "PLay" and you've got a song. It can even add backing instruments. The site also teaches theory so you could learn about things such as chords. When you do that, instead of simply adding (lyrics + notes), you can add (lyrics + notes + chords). And again when you click "Play," the app... Source: about 1 year ago

• How do i transcribe?

  As you do this more and more, you'll slowly start to be able to pick up longer phrases at once instead of single notes. Be sure to check back frequently against the playback!! Every couple of notes or so if not every note you add. This is made easier in certain tools like https://www.soundslice.com/ which combines transcription playback and notation tools into one interface. I think you can add a youtube link in...

• do you compose with your instrument or completely pen to paper?

  Depends on what I'm writing. If it's a rock song, it's going to be written by physically playing my guitar. If it's something orchestral or electronic or whatever, I'll probably go straight to either my DAW or notation software, depending - something that can give me instant playback! It's not as immediate and physical as working with my instrument, but it lets me write for instruments I don't play or own. And... Source: over 1 year ago

• Creating music without MIDI instruments/instruments in a DAW? (for now)

  If you have a vocal melody and lyrics in mind, you can see what it might sound like at least by using your computer keyboard and mouse drag and drop at https://hookpad.hooktheory.com/. There you can quickly type syllables and notes into a grid. Then click "Band" and the site will generate an instrumental accompaniment. Source: over 1 year ago

• (Collab/question) Ive written a lot of lyrics for songs but need help bringing them to life with music

• 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: 11 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.).
