BandLab Launches Version 2.0 of Collaboration App

A cloud-based platform where musicians can capture their ideas and create/produce new songs with unprecedented levels of collaboration.

Los Angeles, CA (November 16, 2015) -- Most musicians and bands would agree that new songs can be quite fragile. Quickly capturing and nurturing songs ideas is the concept behind, BandLab, the first cloud-based platform (iOS, Android and Web) where musicians can capture their ideas and create/produce new songs with unprecedented levels of collaboration with other musicians and even fans anywhere in the world.

After more than a year in testing, BandLab version 2.0 officially launches worldwide today and musicians/bands can sign up for FREE at bandlab.com or download the FREE BandLab mobile app from iTunes or Google Play.

Features:

  • Capture Song Ideas — Capture, store and recall song ideas in the cloud wherever and whenever.
  • Develop Songs — Develop ideas into songs alone or with musicians from anywhere in the BandLab community. Collaborate on multi-track projects without worrying about the tools with BandLab’s built-in Mix Editor.
  • Unprecedented Collaboration — Invite other music creators and fans on the creative journey by sharing unreleased versions and "works in progressā€ for immediate feedback. In-app ā€œChatā€ feature enables users to easily communicate in real time with band members and meet new collaborators from around the world. New ā€œForkingā€ feature allows musicians to create their own versions of other community members’ songs and ideas for even more creative inspiration.

ā€œBandLab is about capturing ideas, nurturing them with others and sharing them with the world,ā€ said Meng Ru Kuok, CEO and co-founder, BandLab. ā€œOur platform enables musicians to be ready whenever inspiration strikes and to build on their ideas seamlessly using any connected device.ā€

Vox’s Valvenergy Tone Sculptor

Two new pedals from the Valvenergy series use a Nutube valve to generate unique dynamics and tone ranges that can be used to radical ends.

When tracking in a studio or DAW, you’re likely to use compression and EQ on most things. Many enduringly amazing and powerful records were made using little else. And though many musicians regard both effects as a bit unglamorous and utilitarian, EQs and comps are as capable of radical sounds as more overtly ā€œweirdā€ effects—particularly when they are used in tandem.

Boss streamlines the size, features, and price of the already excellent Waza Tube Expander with little sacrifice in functionality.

Many of our younger selves would struggle to understand the urge—indeed, the need—to play quieter. My first real confrontation with this ever-more-present reality arrived when Covid came to town. For many months, I could only sneak into my studio space late at night to jam or review anything loud. Ultimately, the thing that made it possible to create and do my job in my little apartment was a reactive load box (in this case, a Universal Audio OX). I set up a Bassman head next to my desk and, with the help of the OX, did the work of a gear editor as well as recorded several very cathartic heavy jams, with the Bassman up to 10, that left my neighbors none the wiser.
