Bandlab is very basic. Yuck. I started an account but, I will remain cautiously optimistic!

lol I was going to down load Band lab today just to see...then I thought against it. I watched a you tube vid instead lol 

I'm going to check out the android app - over 1,000,000 downloads.  And check out the community aspect.  Just hanging out for the culture shock of Sonar and it's users with the Bandlab users is going to be worth it.
 
If Soundcloud blows through their money they got last year I could see BandLab absorbing it.  I think 1/2 of the Soundcloud money was a Singapore investment group.
 
It's all fun and games till the startup cash runs out!
 

The T & C held me back...

I have posted a song I did in SPlat on BandLab:

still, it'll be a while yet until we see how the cakewalk bits get assimilated

Ouch!
 
Based on the 2097 bazillion to one chance that I ever make something worth pinching I think I'll pass on that.
 
 

I posted a song on Bandlab last night, but removed it after reading this thread. Thanks for the info!

Hey Paulo, promidi,

Just to clarify this point quickly - these T&Cs are purely to allow BandLab as a service to actually function - i.e. we need a license for BandLab as a service to playback your own song to you, or anyone else you share it with. If you read any other social platform's T&Cs, like SoundCloud, Facebook etc - you'll find exactly the same thing.
 

e.g Instagram:

Instagram does not claim ownership of any Content that you post on or through the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or through the Service 

 
I absolutely agree it could be clearer as to its intentions, and the point is taken - we will be working with our legal team to ensure it is not misleading and looking like we are trying to grab other people's rights - this is something we fundamentally don't believe in :-)
 
Thank you everyone else who has checked out the platform, we'll have some better introduction videos for people transitioning from other professional DAWs at some point (especially checking out BandLab from Cakewalk) - but the general gist of it is that people who have a professional desktop DAW tend to use BandLab as an ideation tool, or for the social aspects, more so than as a replacement for their core workflow :-)
 
i.e record an idea on the phone, open it straight away via browser and export stems into DAW of choice

I suspected as much. But it would be great if the T&C would be worded more clear. So laymen like me also understand what we sign up for.
