Record Yourself on Bandlab

What can we use if we don't have a microphone or an instrument to record on BandLab?

Use your phone's built-in mic or headphones with a mic for the Voice/Mic track, or choose an Instrument track or pick a loop with the + button if you don't have a physical instrument.

My recording sounds too quiet or noisy—what should I try?

Before pressing the red Record button, move closer to the mic, turn on the metronome to keep steady timing, use headphones to reduce background noise, and after playback raise the track gain or adjust the volume sliders and EQ effect.

How can I change this activity to suit different ages?

For younger kids, have an adult sign in and record a single short Voice/Mic take or add a simple drum loop with the + button, while older kids can build multiple tracks, experiment with Effects like Reverb/EQ, pan parts, and Export the finished song.

How can we improve or personalize our song after the first take?

Add harmony or drum loops using the + button, tweak Reverb or EQ under Effects, balance parts with the volume sliders and pan, then Export and share your finished song on DIY.org.
