Please How do I know what key to set for my vocals it on autotune ,n does it have to match the key on the instrumental ,n how can I change the key for the instrumental?
Qelvin Qlef Hi, normally the vocals are sung in the same key as the song (unless singing harmonies). The key of the song is set in settings, in the revision key section. If you are creating a song from scratch you will need to set the revision key yourself as it won't be automatically set by BandLab. If you don't know the key of your song, download it from Bandlab, then import it back into a new project... If it is longer than one minute bandlab should automatically detect the key (although this isn't always correct).
hey hutch 🙋♂️ thanks for the clarification on this, appreciate it. its 430 am here in Mojave desert Southwest USA, I'm trying to get excited about recording Ye Banks and Braes of Bonnie Doon 🤣 have a good day mate 👍
@@dmichael2697 Hi my friend, The makers of BandLab recently made a major change to BandLab mobile, audio used to be stored on your phone (slowly nicking your phones storage space) but now it gets mostly stored on their cloud server. The result is that now it can take a long time to get the audio back to your phone. I tried a video test just now and yep, the video played without sound, or at least for a while, until the audio was ready. Then the video played with sound, as it is supposed to. So I'm guessing your problem was the same issue... Audio processing lag. Try tapping on the screen to pause the video and then wait a minute before tapping on the screen again to continue playing the video. I'm getting quite a lot of audio processing lag now and never had it before they changed the storage system.
@@IbandUK ok, thanks man. Now I'm just tapping on the video camera then choosing a fx. I dont see any way to alter fx in video mode. I generally go to eq and bump up the volume considerably. Can the volume be adjusted after video is made? So appreciate your reply since I'm new to this. Also not seeing video when I play it back (sorry).
D Michael Hi, you can't alter the fx in video mode but if you want to boost the vocals, the Vocal Note fx is the best one. If you are sing to a track, you can tap on the speaker icon and adjust the volume of your singing and the track separately. That's about it though. As for the picture problem... Again BandLab lags badly since the major update on both audio and video so it's a case of having to wait long enough for the BandLab app to process everything.
Hey Mate! Hope your doing well. So...could not find headphones so thinking about some wireless earplugs. Will this work with Bandlab and are there any special settings? Thanks man for your time, appreciated much!
D Michael Hi my friend, wireless earplugs should work with Bandlab (if they don't, it is because of the phone not BandLab - very rare but can happen). Preferably choose earplugs that have Bluetooth 5 (Bluetooth 4 has high lag/latency). If your phone doesn't have Bluetooth 5 then you can expect some delay in your recordings if you record to tracks you have already recorded. So you will probably need to move the recording on the track mixer screen to compensate. If you are recording the whole song live with no already recorded tracks to play along to then the delay won't matter.
@@IbandUK Thanks so much! Would there be a delay possibly, in the live recording of the song? If so, this won't work for me because the live monitoring of the recording is what I'm most interested in. No pre recorded tracks, all live.
D Michael If you monitor through BandLab you will have an annoying delay, no matter what headphones or earbuds you use. Software monitoring always has some level of latency. You need direct monitoring to avoid a monitoring delay. I would use an audio interface for direct monitoring... Record the live sound via a microphone to the audio interface then send the audio to BandLab via either the phones 3.5mm or usb input. Connect the headphones to the 3.5mm headphones socket on the audio interface. Mobile phone audio interfaces with 3.5mm output are a safer bet than computer audio interfaces with usb as not all mobile phones fully support OTG. Alternatively, a small mobile phone compatible mixer with a direct monitor output could work equally well.
I am on windows desktop 8.1 and I cannot find the autopitch feature in bandlab. Do it have a different name for desktop? The "How to use bandlab autopitch" video on you tube, I don't know if a phone is being used, in the video, thereby making the rules and layout different for desktop.
Randolph Benoit Hi, the autopitch feature in bandlab is only on the mobile version (android / ios) and not available in the BandLab assistant version for pc. You would have to add it to your vocals on an Android / ios device then download your vocal track to your device. Then import the downloaded audio file into bandlab on your pc.
Yovo FF A key scale is a set of pitched notes, if you don't know which key scale you are singing or playing an instrument in, you can normally work it out by writing down the pitched notes you are singing in or playing an instrument in and then checking those notes against different key scales to see if the notes match. For example, if you sing in the pitched notes G, C, D and A, these notes match the notes of the key scale of C major (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) so are most likely singing in the key scale of C. You can work out the key scales with my scales theory video... th-cam.com/video/iloxVY0Tvyk/w-d-xo.html
max Hi, currently there is no autopitch in the browser pc version of BandLab. You would have to open your project in bandlab mobile, add autopitch to the vocal track, export the vocal track, then import the vocal track into the browser pc version.
Pro Saint Hi, my understanding is that the bm800 is a condenser microphone so needs phantom power to work. Some of them were apparently built with built-in phantom power and you just put a battery in the battery box. Otherwise you need something like a Smartrig (which has a volume/gain knob) to power the bm800. If you are already using phantom power but still need a gain control, BandLab has a gain control you can add to the vocal track from the Utility tab of the FX.
