My Phone Studio - Made in Bandlab App


Hawk Cobo

Recommended Posts

60 & Punk- Death Cab Cover

Played all tracks with Bandlab Instruments. On my IPhone 6. Played Piano, Bass, Synth, and recorded vocals through earbud mic. I used Bandlab filters and layered tracks to get it close to the original. 

Check it out it came out pretty cool for just my phone. 

Anyone else out there just using the mobile app to produce songs?

I help remix this song all on my phone last week. Glory Coming Down - Leah Norton

It  was 12 track, beautiful song by Leah but when the heavy part of this song comes in with distortion guitar we couldn’t hear all the other lovely instruments. This what was there: 

Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Piano, Vocals, Harmony Vocals,   2 Drum Tracks, Strings, Synth Pad, I added Bass after remixed. 

I took the vocals and guitar tracks and consolidate the layers she had for them. I downloaded the tracks then re upload them in a new project and made more layers using different effects and panned left and right. 

I did this  back and  forth with just about each instrument. I left the drums alone, just panned them. Added a third light distorted layer to the piano over the chorus so it pops out.  

After I had a solid mix I decided to add bass. And I did that on my phone  with the Bandlab instrument, Electric Bass Lagato 

I don’t have Automation with the phone, but I was able to keep the synth and strings dynamic by removing key section in the second layer.  

Thanks for reading and listening.  

BTW Leah is an amazing musician and Songwriter.  Check her out Leah Norton Profile

It's ridiculous how much one can accomplish on a device that fits in the palm of your hand. I would never have guessed that you sing into an earbud mic. It sounds better than some studio recordings I have heard. Great job!

Great job and can't believe the mix ...on a 'phone!  .. How long did this impressive bit of work take ? ...

Thank you. Im guessing it probably a total of 5 hours over a week. I do a few split shifts at work and would work on the tracks in between shifts. I did some at night when I was home too. Could have been longer, I have a 40 min drive home so I’d listen to it on my way to and from work. Then work on what I wanted to change or add between shifts. 

Hard part is when my battery on the phone dies mid edit. Fortunately I never loose my progress, just sucks to have to wait for the phone to charge again. 

Thank you for your comment.

Without guys like your good self, us oldies would never know this work was done any other way than in a semi or pro setup ... My feeling is try and do your own ideas and create something that's belongs to you ... then post it .... Def sounds like your a dedicated musoe so keep it mate .. .

All the best

Steve
