Hi, can I do a simple podcast using bandlab? Also, do you think it is possible for a person to learn how to play piano / keyboard (who has never played piano / keyboard before) by using bandlab keyboard provided like shown on the video?

[@sarin_placid]

Thanks Man!

Hey just curious if you're a musician do you play an instrument of any kind from your comment I was short it sounds like you are so I was just curious

[@cosmik_europa]

I'm not usually into tutorials because they go too fast or don't really explain in detail some functions, but when I tell you that this tutorial has really REALLY blown me away, I mean it. Not only did you make a song of my fave genre, you also taught essentials in such a great way! I was lost tapping random loops and putting together choppy melodies but this...THIS. This is totally gonna make me grow tons. Thank you so much for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Excellent, clear and not rushed explanations. For someone who is not tech savvy, this is a big help thanks.

This is great I’ve always been a songwriting but always had so many instrumental ideas I had a hard time translating to a song and BandLab made it 10x easier for me

[@CrystalSouza2011]

Thank you!!! I'm a singer/writer but could never record my own work, always went to a studio to have someone else engineer. I've been absolutely terrified to do it myself, it looks way too intimidating. However, I'm definitely going to give this a try 😊

[@leifjerami]

Hey Dean, this is cool. I have a lot of people asking whether they should sell their Windows laptop and buy a Mac or not, just because of Garageband. This can be a good alternative. Zero cost. Also, it would be nice if you can do a video of your favourite paid plugins for the more advance Garageband users to upgrade.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Love that Leif, so glad it was helpful! As for plugins, I don't know that I'll do a video on that anytime soon but my 1st suggestion would be to learn to use the stock plugins well as they are really powerful and what I use to do the majority of my mixes! Beyond that, I do have a video on using Melodyne (pitch correction software) in GarageBand and in seasons past I have used Slate Digitals plugins (a monthly subscription) as they have some very nice compressors in particular. Hope that helps! -Dean

What an excellent easy to follow and inspiring demo. The workspace looks a lot like GarageBand and Logic but is so much more intuitive. And the mastering tools alone make Bandlab a great choice. Question: would you publish just what you have here, see the feedback you get with a few bars or flesh out a longer song arrangement first?

Best instructional video I found on You Tube! I know nothing about daw recording and you went slow and methodically through it. Excellent teacher! Two questions I can't find. How do you save an original file without destroying or altering it after making a new one in bandlab? I have an older keyboard with a unique sound preset. If I create a midi file can I import it and use it instead of a virtual instrument and will it create audio when played back in bandlab?

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Hey joewger! You can hit save in the top right of the screen (I show it at minute 22:55 in this video if you want a visual) and then it saves the project file so that you can exit the project but jump back into it anytime. Hope that helps! -Dean
