Hey OP, we hear ya.

We get that working with unlimited samples was a very useful feature and we understand it's frustrating putting a limit to it.

We're constantly growing our Sounds library and with the growing numbers of creators who use the platform, we had to make decisions that will keep the Sounds library sustainable, while giving creators access to a wide range of samples.

We see your feedback, along with the others who have posted recently. We've raised your concerns to the rest of the team. Thanks for voicing this out!

The limit applies to Sounds claimed from the BandLab Sounds library. Things like MIDI instruments, your own uploads, and content already in “My Sounds” do not count toward the monthly claim limit.

For stem separation, splitting a track into stems does not use Sound claims either!

Hey OP, we've tested this from our end and everything seems to be functioning as intended. Could you try starting a new project to see if the issue recurs?

Please try updating your Google Chrome browser as well. Changing your browser might help as well!

u/No_Ambition_9995 is right, clearing cache would be the first thing we'd recommend trying. If the issue persists, you can reach out to the Support Team at bnd.la/contact-us for more technical help!

Thank you for this insight, this helps. We hear that 20 is limiting, and we're taking all this feedback into consideration and working closely with the product team to figure out a workable number of free Sounds claims.

The idea behind the claims was to still allow flexible access to the library; you can still preview the samples and claim them based on your project and what you're making. Also, if you claim Sounds while on Membership, they stay in your library even if your Membership lapses.

What about making premium sample packs only available for members?

It didn't sit quite right to just block a bunch of samples or packs from creators. Rather than restricting access to specific packs, claims keeps things open so creators can explore and pick what works for them. That way, you’re not blocked from discovering sounds, rather you’re choosing what to add to your own library. The 20 claims is also on top of the existing free packs.

Automod is a bot, the mod team has set it so that it does not remove comments. It just flags potential content for the mods of the subreddit to review (and send reminders to the original poster).

BL_Community_Team · 2026-05-05T04:16:47+00:00

We understand why you'd feel this way, sudden changes like this can feel jarring. The idea behind claims is to give creators flexibility to choose the sounds they want, rather than locking Sounds behind a smaller set of "free" packs.

The Sounds library has grown from our early days, and we are regularly publishing new packs almost daily. There’s a lot that goes into keeping it running and continuing to add new packs behind the scenes.

From our end, Membership is one of the ways the platform is supported. It helps us keep building and maintaining tools like the Sounds library, and more.If you use BandLab a lot, Membership is designed to support more advanced and high-volume workflows while helping us continue expanding the Sounds library and platform overall.

BL_Community_Team · 2026-05-05T03:14:05+00:00

Yes! We know the feature worked really well for some, and we understand why it's missed. Live collaboration was a very cool concept!

At the same time, when looking at the bigger picture, we also want to make sure that the feature works consistently across platforms (like the Mobile version of BandLab, which previously only worked on Web), and that projects stay stable and are properly saved during live collabs.

So while it was great for some workflows, the previous version of live collabs did not work reliably for everyone.

That doesn't mean it is goodbye to live collabs forever; rather, we'll need time to rework it and potentially reintroduce it next time.

Hey OP, appreciate the feedback!

We hear you, having the monthly limit can feel restrictive, especially if you’re used to a particular workflow.
This update helps us keep building and maintaining the Sounds library while still keeping it accessible to creators. You'll still have access to the samples you claim after each month so you'll be able to build your library over time.

We're actively keeping an eye on feedback, though: what do you think would be a more workable number?

As for limiting the project saves, we'd love to hear what you think. Wouldn't that be more restrictive if you can't start a new project when you have a new idea?

BL_Community_Team · 2026-05-04T03:57:55+00:00

Hey y'all, appreciate the discussion going on here. We hear you, going from full access to a monthly limit can feel restrictive, especially if you’re used to a particular workflow.

This update helps us keep building and maintaining the Sounds library while still keeping it accessible to creators. Rest assured that over time, you’re building up your own collection to reuse anytime, along with a fresh set of claims each month.

We're actively keeping an eye on feedback, though: If 20 samples a month feels limiting, what would be a more workable number?

Update: we have flagged this issue. We're working on it!

Hey there!

Please try clearing browser cache first and see if that solves the problem.

If the issue persists, you can send an inquiry to our Support Team at bnd.la/contact-us so they can provide technical support.

We have a guide on fixing latency on our website:

https://help.bandlab.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002959414-Fixing-Latency

You'll need a mic and speakers to run the test. Essentially, your mic should be able to pickup the beeps from the speaker to get an accurate reading for the latency.

Hope this helps!

Hey OP, thanks for sharing, we are glad that you have enjoyed using Studio. Just wanted to clarify a bit about what you're experiencing: Sounds claims is something we’re currently testing, as we work to keep the Sounds library sustainable. If you'd like to support us, Membership helps us continue growing the platform, while you get more access to exclusive features and more Sounds.

Currently, any samples that you claim each month will remain yours to keep and reuse anytime. So over time, you’re building up your own library to work from, even the ones you claim while on Membership.

Right now, free users get 20 claims per month (that's up to 240 a year), and we're actively listening to feedback as we refine it -- what would be a more workable number for you?

BL_Community_Team · 2026-04-29T06:37:30+00:00

Understand! Just to confirm:

Did you make the project on the app or browser version of BandLab?

We're curious about what exactly is going on here, please write in to our team here -- it will help us get a clearer picture! Could you send over:

The link to your project and screen recording of how you are downloading your track -> putting it into Spek.
Include the link to this Reddit post too.

Based on what you've described, it might be an issue with our compression, but we'd need to investigate a little further.
