No. Your projects have not been deleted. They remain saved in your BandLab account. You will need Membership to reopen or edit them in Studio, but you can still download your project mixdowns without subscribing.

Yes. You can download a Mixdown of your project from its revision page on Web, iOS or Android, without a Membership. See Downloading Mixdowns and Tracks for instructions.

A Mixdown is an audio file of your project. To reopen or edit the project in Studio, you need an active Membership.

You can open, create and edit projects in Studio with an active BandLab Membership. If your Membership or trial ends, your projects remain saved, but you’ll need an active Membership to edit them again.

If this change has affected your ability to access or finish an existing project, please contact BandLab Support. Our team can review your situation and help you explore the available options.

If you purchased Membership specifically to regain access to your existing projects following the Studio access change in Japan, please contact BandLab Support. Let us know why you subscribed so our team can assist with your refund request.

If you have an active Membership, you should still be able to access Studio, including shared projects. Please contact BandLab Support so we can investigate.
