Credits and Claims

Think of these different tools in your toolkit, each one designed for a specific part of your creative process.

Credits: for promoting your music and content

  • Credits are your promotion currency, each one backed by real dollar value. Use them with BandLab Boost to get your music and posts in front of new fans. Once Boosted, your tracks can appear directly in the feeds of listeners across our global community of 100M+ creators.

Claims: for building your sound library

  • Members can claim royalty-free samples and beats from our BandLab Sounds and BandLab Beats libraries. Curate your own personal collection, and have them ready to go whenever you’re in a creative flow.
