BandLab
Free cloud DAW with AI songwriting, stem splitting, and mastering for 100M+ creators.
About
BandLab is a free, cloud-based digital audio workstation with over 100 million registered users, spanning web, iOS, and Android. It combines unlimited multi-track recording, a royalty-free loop library, and real-time collaboration (up to 50 people per project) with a growing set of AI tools.
The AI lineup includes SongStarter (generates royalty-free melodies and chord progressions from a genre and lyric prompt), Splitter (vocal/instrumental stem separation), AutoPitch, audio-to-MIDI, AI mastering with presets like Fire/Clarity/Tape, and AI voice models that re-render your vocal take in different tones. Distribution to Spotify and Apple Music is built in, and artists keep 100% of earnings. Limitations: no VST plugin support, the mobile-first workflow can feel constrained for advanced mixing, and some pro-tier perks sit behind the BandLab Membership.
