This site is so godawful that it makes sitebuilders whistle like a mechanic. CHAPTER 1 - BOTS, BOTS EVERYWHEREUpon checking comments on a track, there is NOTHING but bot profiles with disgusting names and pfps. (This site is for people 13 and up.) Bandlab is doing nothing about it. There are also nonstop scams in your DMs.CHAPTER 2 - SOCIAL HELLHOLEfake likes! The hours, days, or possibly months you spent on a song is met with 2 likes from people who didn't even listen. Some people are extremely toxic too, and what does Bandlab do, you may ask? They terminate the guy who said "I'm gonna crash out" as a joke. Bandlab "mods" are like heat-seeking missiles that accidentally target your own army and not the enemy.CHAPTER 3 - ADS, NOTHING BUT ADSThey went from free to "we added a cool state-of-the-art new feature that will revolutionize music but you can't use it because it's paid and extremely overpriced lmao". Everywhere you go is an ad. AND, you can get literally NOWHERE without the "Boost" feature (paid, as usual).CHAPTER 4 - MAKING MUSIC[Subchapter: Bandlab Sounds]Bandlab sounds! Sounds like heaven, surrounded by thousands of free loops. But the catch is that half of them are garbled nonsense and completely offbeat. One of the amen breaks I found there is literally ripped from a sample pack.[Subchapter: Studio]God, where do I start? First off, the track limit of 15 is incredibly ungenerous. Second, when you import audio, there's a solid chance it chops off a teeny tiny bit of the first part, making it offbeat. Then, you have to re-add the part it chopped off by extending the first part BUT WAIT! NOW, it extends endlessly, meaning it's extremely painful to make it sync again. Then, when you zoom all the way in to pinpoint where to slice to sync it again, you'll find that attempting to zoom back out will crash the site and literally everything around it.CHAPTER 5 - BANDLAB, DESTROYER OF STORAGEWhile you're in the studio, do you ever check how much space it's taking up? I did. It can take up a whopping TEN GIGABYTES, completely obliterating your RAM and CPU. I opened BandLab with eight gigabytes, and the studio whittled it down to four hundred megabytes.CHAPTER 6 - ENDLESS LAGEverything is delayed by what feels like nine million years. You open your library, click on a song, try to open it in studio, and find that it's delayed by 5 minutes. And in those 5 minutes, Bandlab will make a fine meal of your computer, so you can kiss writing music goodbye.CHAPTER 7 - OTHER ERRORS"Oops! Something is wrong" will block you from doing literally anything, completely randomly."We'll be back shortly." has a solid chance of happening every time you open up the site. It can last seconds, hours, or even a whole day."Sisyphean login": When you log in, it just takes you back to the login page. Then, when you log in again, it takes you back to the login, over and over again. And this bug most likely will not be fixed in the same 4 hours as you encountered it.FINAL VERDICTThis site is not worth your time. Please get FL Studio and forget about BandLab. I promise you, you will not miss it.Thank you for reading.
