In an effort to enhance and fine-tune the creative experience, BandLab has introduced some new improvements and features to its mobile app. The music production platform has introduced a pair of features for its paying members, as well as general enhancements to its mobile filters.
One of the new features allows users to take advantage of a tool previously restricted to BandLab’s desktop software: automation. Now, users can utilise Mobile Automation on the go. The feature works much like typical automation, allowing users to automate volume, pan and effects with precise control.
The Automation tool should enable even the most novice of users to produce complex sounds and smooth transitions. While Mobile Automation is currently in beta, users will be able to take it for a spin if they have a membership.
Elsewhere, members will also be able to access a new Suite of AudioPitch Vocal Effects. All users will still be able to access the ‘Essential’ effects, but members will have an expanded selection including ‘Hip Hop’, ‘HyperPop’ and ‘Sci-Fi.’
All users will benefit from BandLab’s filter improvements. The team have introduced a new pop-up menu for sample and loop filtering, minimising the need for constant scrolling. The menu will enable users to tweak BPM, key, genre and instrument tags all in one convenient pop-out.
There is also a new ‘Recent’ toggle for users to search through their most recently used sounds, meaning you’ll be able to hunt down that killer sound you thought you’d lost. The key filter has also had a makeover; the key filter now displays a piano keyboard, so you can select the righy keys for your project with ease.
If you’re interested in utilising any of the new features, you can take advantage of BandLab’s free 3-day membership trial.
Editor’s note: BandLab and MusicTech are both part of the Caldecott Music Group.
