It s FREE - IF you have a month of free time
It s free A snake bite is free I installed Cakewalk a year ago and it was fairly easy to use but I was told later that it had glitches and I should use a new version Now a year later I downloaded what is obviously a new version and the control panel looks like it belongs on a spacecraft I attempted to simply record my voice Fortunately the record button is still bright red But I couldn t record my voice There is no standardized logic to the virtual-reality haystack YouTube instructions make a simple test recording with a mic sound crazy complicated and the contributors CakeWalk interface does not match mine so there s no use following their easy pointers I clearly downloaded Cakewalk from an alternative dimension Frustrated I deleted everything But later today I read several arguments in favor of CakeWalk some of them were lame and some were convincing The basic theme was CakeWalk is user-friendly if you are willing to devote 30 days to learning it Note the contradiction Might some of these pundits work for BandLab I decided to download it again But now I have BandLab without Cakewalk At the top-right of its distracting array of social website style goop which looks like a page from Teen Beat magazine there is a CREATE button which leads to a simple mixing recording interface But that is one which BandLab told me has glitches and to delete WHY leave an app hanging on the internet if it has known glitches As if one will not waste enough time downloading it And WHY have multiple websites for downloading CakeWalk and not just one No one wants an internet-based roulette wheel This is called wasting people s time on a grand scale and that s a warning sign Cakewalk is NO cakewalk I never did figure out how to just record my voice One reason why CakeWalk may be so popular is that it allows young upstarts and posers to pretend that they have musical talent because they can download an AI generated melody that isn t fit for a chicken-coup - and tell people that they wrote it Pathetic new era

Do not use this program
I cannot stress enough how awful this program is Beyond just having a horrible user interface and blocking up most of the screen with unnecessary details BandLab has so many glitches and bugs it is actually impossible to get anything done You will spend most of the time trying to figure out the source of a problem finding it not being able to fix it waiting a day and praying it goes away only to come back to a brand new problem I have experienced random jumping to other parts of the song pitch bends I did NOT put there notes displayed differing from the actual playback delayed playback on some tracks but not others deletion of progress webpage freezing notes being skipped more often than not and overall slowness I have tried running it on multiple computers reliable computers and the constant seems to be the incompetence of this DAW Not to mention there aren t any good instruments

Nonexistent customer service
I posted this review of Zire a music promotion company that is an affiliate of BandLab Technologies Since BandLab collected my money and Zire provided no service it s appropriate to post this here as well Nonexistent customer service Had to stop a campaign after it started because of a minor issue which should have been easily fixable Customer service didn t respond to numerous queries Zire aka BandLab did refund my money about three weeks later When I fixed the issue myself and restarted the campaign BandLab cashed my money WITHIN A DAY and placed my campaign Under Review a process which is a formality and typically takes 1-2 business days to resolve Eleven days later the campaign still hasn t started I ve sent three queries to customer service titled Campaign hasn t started Please start campaign etc No response I m stopping payment with my credit card I m not going to bother contacting customer service again Please avoid this company at all costs whether it s calling itself Zire or BandLab Someone is there behind the scenes cashing money rather quickly for services sometimes rendered partially rendered or not rendered at all Apparently no one else works there aside from the money collectors

Bandlab staff penalising artists
I have been following OGRapture and judgment day for over a year now and everytime OGRapture puts a song out I don t get to listen to because your staff are salty this is unfair and I want to here his music I would give you a fat - 100000000000 if I could penalising people is wrong

I absolutely hate bandlab
I absolutely hate bandlab The software devours battery with a frustrating UI Its loops are organized in packs but instead of making packs for common genres they make pack such as Zulu Porridge like who in this world woke up thinking I know what I am gonna do today make Zulu Porridge The loops are not always on beat and this makes it very frustrating to work with Midi devices are very frustrating to work with since it sometimes doesnt connect or work properly If i had to sum up Bandlab in two words they would be Outrageously frustrating Sincerely Dissapointed

It s Free gave it a go but it s
It s Free gave it a go but it s horrible Full of bugs glitches If you have selected a Piano then decide to change to strings it will stick on the piano When i selected FX another U I pops up but decided against these FX but couldnt get rid of the FX PopUp had to EXIT whole project without saving Better off buying a PC Using Cubase There s nothing intuitive about layout I felt completely lost the instruments are very basic I cannot imagine a professional piece of music being produced using this
