    • @Jonny-xj7hj
      @Jonny-xj7hj Год назад +274

      Exactly. Free will always be good. What caught my attention for BandLab is I saw so many ppl were making decently good songs with just a simple app on their phone.
      At the end of the day it really isn’t about the daw it’s about the artist, and their talent for music and production. I mean fuck, so many new artists nowadays literally started off with garage band on their iPhone and Blew up with just a phone. Can’t say the same for some production RUclipsrs who are still trying to push their music. With like 10k worth of music production gear.

    Bandlab, for a real artist who's constantly on the move it's great for demos and collaborating with fellow artists who travel the country and perform and are never in the same place at the same time. Birth your ideas into a demo and release it, you can always count on hitting the big studio to re-record remix and remaster. Bandlab is like a notepad for a traveling poet.

    If you know what you are doing, an experienced professional can make a great album even with Bandlab. You might have to work a little harder, but it can be done. First off, before doing a compare video, I would suggest for people to actually learn Bandlab, every ins and outs. Nathan obviously did not learn every function of Bandlab. He complained about sounds, but failed to realize that Bandlab has a sampler. He could of created his own instrument sounds, or use other sampled instrument sounds. Secondly, he did not use any of the many tools bandlab has to offer to make the tracks sound better. Bandlab offers EQ, Compression, Reverb, as well as many other affects. Third Nathan failed to use any of the many "sound packs" that are available in Bandlab. Fourth, one of the great things many people overlook about Bandlab is it's collaboration features. Having the ability to share a song that everyone can work on without having to try and find a way to email large track files, etc is a huge advantage. It's as easiy as sharing a google doc project. Lastly, for a free program, Bandlab offers a lot. If you actually take the time to study Bandlab and what it offers, one will realize it is very close to Garageband in capability. Bandlab even offers free mastering. Simply drop your sound file into one of the several categories on the browser link, and Bandlab will master your song. Instead of complaining about Bandlab from the start, Nathan should have actually did his research and learn the browser DAW. Bandlab is a very powerful DAW, and has my respect. Bandlab also offers Sonar Cakewalk DAW for free (PC Window Users). I am a user of Bandlab and Garageband, but my main DAW is Logic Pro X. I know the ins and outs of all 3 DAW. Yes, Bandlab is not as powerful as Logic Pro X, but make no mistake, Bandlab offers a lot of tools to make a professional song. Instead of making a video from the point of view of someone who obviously doesn't know the ins and outs of Bandlab, he should have actually learned every function and capability of Bandlab, and presented a video for producers who are starting out. Any producer who is starting out and does not have money to spend, Bandlab is a very capable DAW to make professional songs. Again, you might have to work a little harder, but it can be done. In conclusion, people be aware of Nathan. This guy loves to make videos dissing on various DAWs and acting like they are toys. He made videos dissing on Garageband like it's a toy, and he is doing the same for Bandlab. Apparently he is too young to realize a time when hard disk recorders were used, and even farther back reel to reel tape. Bandlab has more features and is more powerful tool than reel to reel tape and hard disk recorders, and yet professional albums were and can be made on all 3 medium.

    However meh it might be, I feel like Bandlab isn’t made for really advanced stuff and professionals, especially those who are already using software like Logic. To me it feels like Bandlab is an accessible and somewhat basic but still decent software to play around in, collaborate with others and have a bit of fun. My music teacher at school for example says it’s perfect for her younger students to use when composing in the curriculum. Maybe that’s not really a flex, but that’s definitely the type of thing Bandlab aims for and works well at.

    bandlab is definitely a decent DAW for being free and online, I started with it 2 years ago and still use it occasionally because of how simple and fun it is. However, it isn't really any kind of end-game or professional DAW. It can, at times, feel like you are working against the software when producing a track, but overall, it gets you where you want to go, I would say.

Yeah sure review Bandlab by all means, but like you say putting it up against Logic is mental because obviously Logic wins every time. I think Bandlab probably brought this upon themselves though by claiming to be a 'pro' recording solution, when clearly it can't be used in the same way as Logic. I'm a Cakewalk user, and it's every bit as good if not better than most of the paid-for DAWs I've used in the past. Bandlab are putting a fair bit of time and resource into keeping it maintained and the constant development on it at the moment is fantastic. So I'm torn - I want people to use Bandlab so it helps to keep Cakewalk going, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use it myself!

Sometimes less is more. In this instance I feel like maybe Bandlab has been a lesson to show me I kept chasing the illusion of bigger and better bells and whistles and plug ins when I had everything I needed in the most basic versions. That was after I learned how to produce and engineer. I learned that after I learned the fundamental basics. It is so good for preproduction and honestly I like what I have been doing on my phone in a lot of ways.

    From Peru, 2020, 21 years old, my favorite music genres were Latin, Pop and Lofi, and as a BEGINNER with no computer. mics or MIDI controllers, just using my android phone, BANDLAB was perfect for me. A SOCIAL DAW APP, easy to connect, chat, record, edit, store, organize and share without using all of my phone memory space.
    2022, two years later, I'm sereously thinking whether I will live MUSIC as a hobby or as a carreer, and I have a basic set up with a laptop,
    but a lot of times... DESKTOP BANDLAB just doesn't work as good as using my phone. Same and more tools, but maybe the problems are some bugs or my hardware.
    So currently, I principally want my ideas to flow quickly, sound better, create new interesting sounds, make music for videos, games and record acustic percussion. so I decided to try diferent DAWS like CAKEWALK AND REAPER, and continue this journey.

The closest I ever came was an old Roland VS-1824 that I used 20 years ago. Earlier this year I downloaded Cakewalk and I've had a blast learning to record. If I do move onto Logic or Ableton, I feel like Cakewalk prepared me by introducing me to what a DAW can do. I was DAW illiterate before, and now I'm not.
