Thanks Meng, yes it's a very good thing I have SONAR and excellent thing you're keeping it alive. :o)
 I will most certainly be checking in frequently about Edge support and will happily be contributing and kicking out the jams on Bandlab.
 
Edge is now actually the default browser on my Samsung Android smartphone because it integrates well between my Windows 10 computers and Samsung Smart TV. Whether I'm in the house or anywhere where I have 4G Internet service.

Bandlab works well in both Opera and Yandex, whom both borrow technology from Chrome. Had some initial problems with e-mail verification, but support rapidly got things working for me.

I don't think it is OK to do a public cover of somebody elses song unless you have asked them.
The premisses for using BandLab is very clear. 



This is actually not true.  You do not have to ask anyone to do a cover.  You just need to purchase a license to do it.  Nobody "approves" or "disapproves" except your own wallet.  It's not even that expensive.

I've purchased several licenses to do covers on my albums.  Do note that there is a separate license required for each of these uses:

Cover a song on an a physical release (CD / Vinyl, however you release it in a PHYSICAL form or a secure non-streaming download from a site such as Amazon)
Cover a song for streaming (Uploading it to a streaming site, making available on Spotify, etc.)
Cover a song in a video broadcast  (Posting a YouTube video of your song, for example)

So, in other words, if you were to cover a song and release it on your CD, which is also released as an MP3 album on Amazon, as well as make it available online for streaming on Spotify / Pandora, etc., and you decide to do a music video for it, that will be 3 separate licenses you need.

If you cover a song and release a CD, Vinyl or download, then you must pay for each copy a percentage to the song- and textwriters! Also for other performances such as broadcasting there are fees for each time it runs, so there is not (only) a single payment (like a license)!

Not entirely true.  You buy the license from the link I provided, and you also buy the royalty payments along with it.  They recommend buying in blocks of 100 at a time for indie artist.  You do have to keep track of what you sell, and make sure you "true up" if you sell more than you purchased.  If your sales are higher, than buy in a block of 1000.  It's about $35-$45 per 100 depending on the length of the song.  Again, all the info you need is in the link I provided.  It works out to be about 3 cents a play / purchase.

browser-specific in 2018? hmmm... anyone tried it in firefox yet?


Yes, you can see stuff but I found some things didn't work, e.g. that any comments I wrote wouldn't 'take', I had to switch to Chrome - annoying as I uninstalled it a few months ago as my own little protest about their general ethos.

I guess we can safely assume Clint got his multiple licencing in order then. I don't wan't to see another mp3.com happening here.

Bandlab responded and said I could post a cover. I'm not sure how it works if your not selling the song and it's not available for download.
Either way I deleted it. Like I said...It's the only cover I've ever recorded, and it was really just for me. I wouldn't ever try to rip anyone off.
