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!

@infarction8840 2 года назад

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?

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 года назад

Hey there my friend. So yes - latency is probably the biggest issue I’ve noticed in BandlLab so far. It makes sense as it’s browser based so likely to suffer more than desktop DAWs. The weird thing is that I’ve noticed virtually none when recording but a significant amount afterwards. If they can find a way to fix that and provide an automatic compensation it would be amazing. Maybe it’s there in the settings? I’ll keep playing.

@yanct5301 Год назад

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?

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hmmmm…. Haven’t played with collaboration on the platform much. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.

@Karlheinznet Год назад

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.😎

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hey there. Yeah, BandLab is a little lacking in those sort of functions I’m afraid. GarageBand definitely wins when it comes to virtual instruments.

@Karlheinznet Год назад

@@PeteJohnsMusic hah, that’s a pity. On the other hand they have other cool on board sounds. What would be a good reason to use also BandLab compared to GB?

@rclamb04 Год назад

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

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hey there. So you can either use it via MIDI (plug in straight via USB) or you can use an audio track. I would start with a straight clean audio track with no effects. Or a vocal preset with some light reverb.

@oluchi_theresa Год назад

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.

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hey there. You’re using some headphone to cut the feedback and noise? That’s my first tip. Otherwise, Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.

@Karlita91100 Год назад

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!

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hi there! So, BandLab should retain audio quality when exporting. Just make sure you export as a WAV file and not a compressed MP3. If you can’t export as a WAV through the app, you might need to use the website version to export at full quality.

@Karlita91100 Год назад

@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you so much for your reply! I will make sure my daughter did it this way. I don't think she had the option to export as a WAV file - this could be the issue! We will try today on the website version, thank you so much! The cut from the choreographer was a 3:45 min song at 5.3MB, but after she shortened it to 2:40 (and also replaced the word), it went to 2.6MB which seemed like a huge loss in quality (though i really know nothing about these things!) We had no clue where the issue could be, so we will definitely try to export as a WAV file today. Thank you again!

@aklein4 Год назад

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.
