Editorial selection guide

Who is it for?

  • It suits people who want to record or build beats without installing a desktop DAW: the home page describes a DAW in the browser or on mobile, with Studio described as 100% free and free cloud storage.
  • It suits collaborators: the home page says a project supports up to 50 collaborators and that Studio works on a phone or in a browser, and the App Store listing mentions project syncing across devices.
  • It suits songwriters who want loops, samples, effects and mastering in one account: the Sounds page advertises 160,000+ royalty-free loops and one-shots, though downloading full packs and sounds needs Membership, and mastering is described as free with four presets.
  • It suits artists planning to release music: the pricing page lists worldwide distribution while keeping 100% of earnings as a Pro and Max feature, not part of the Free plan.

Getting started

  • Open the BandLab website in a browser, or install the iOS or Android app, and sign up. The terms say registration needs an email address, username and password, and the mastering page shows a Continue with Google option.
  • Create a project in Studio and add tracks, staying within the Free plan's Studio track limit of 16 shown on the pricing page. Record or import audio, or browse the Sounds library and drag loops and samples into your project.
  • Shape the sound with the effects chain (10 effects on Free according to the pricing page) and invite collaborators to the project; the home page allows up to 50.
  • Master the mix: on the Mastering page or in the app, import your track (the page says you can select any audio or video files and master entire albums or EPs with a simple drag and drop), then choose the preset that suits your track; the page shows Original and Mastered versions of each preset. The page does not describe the export step and notes that video export for Mastering is available on mobile.

Decision points

  • Compare plans before a large project. The pricing page shows Free with a 16-track limit, 10 effects in a chain, 4 mastering presets, 3 Splitter splits per day and no AI tools; Pro and Max show 32 tracks, 20 effects, 8 presets with intensity controls, unlimited splits, AI tools and distribution; Max adds Retune, EQ in mastering and priority support.
  • Check where you buy. On 27 October 2026 the web page showed Pro at $99 for the first year ($149 after) and Max at $199 ($299 after), while the App Store listing showed Membership Pro at $14.99 per month and $149.99 for 12 months. Cancel in Membership Settings, or through the App Store or Google Play if you bought there.
  • Read the terms about your music. You keep ownership of content you submit; BandLab receives a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use it in connection with its services and its business, including advertising and promotional material. The license generally ends after you delete the content or close your account, with exceptions such as content shared with others.
  • For stems, the Splitter page says free users can separate vocals, drums, bass and others from files up to 100 MB and 15 minutes per song (formats such as .mp3, .m4a, .wav and .flac, plus video such as .mp4), while Membership adds guitar and piano splits and faster separation speeds; on web, stems download as .wav and can be converted to MIDI, on mobile they download as .m4a and MIDI conversion is not available. Check the daily limit separately (see limitations).
  • Check the AI rules before using output for machine learning: the terms bar using AI-generated output from the Services to develop machine learning models (section 4.2.8) and using Sounds to train or develop such models (section 5A.2).

Limits

  • The wording on limits is not fully consistent. The home page and the App Store listing say unlimited multi-track projects, while the pricing page lists a Studio track limit of 16 on Free; check how the limit applies in the app before you plan a large session.
  • Mastering details differ between pages: the home page names four presets (Universal, Fire, Clarity, Tape), the mastering page lists eight and does not say which four are free, and the Membership page speaks of four exclusive presets while the pricing page lists 4 on Free and 8 on Pro and Max.
  • Splitter limits differ: the pricing page lists 3 splits per day on Free, while the Splitter page gives file limits (100 MB, 15 minutes) and does not mention a daily limit.
  • The pages read do not say whether Studio works offline, list Android system requirements or name a minimum browser; the App Store lists iOS or iPadOS 16.0 or later and no Mac version. The Google Play listing is the place to confirm Android details.
  • Accounts and age: some features need an account, and the terms require users to be 18 or the age of majority, or 13 with a parent's or guardian's permission. The App Store rates the app 13+ and notes advertising, messaging and chat, and user-generated content; its developer-provided privacy labels list identifiers used to track you and data linked to you, including contact info, contacts, user content such as audio, usage data and diagnostics.
