BandLab Albums: Guidelines and Information

It’s easy! Here’s a walkthrough of the entire process.

Explicit or other forbidden content is not allowed in the Album title or artwork. If explicit language or content is used in the context of your tracks, be sure to add an Explicit Content Warning to the project(s) used.

A full list of forbidden content can be found in the Community Guidelines.

Album artwork is held to the same standards as audio content. We encourage you to make unique album art, as the inclusion of protected work can result in the album being removed.

Covers are songs originally written and performed by another artist. Cover songs are considered protected works! The artists (or their labels, publishers, etc) own the rights to their songs, and you must have written permission to use their material on your album. Do not add a cover to your album unless you are prepared to provide proof of permission. 

Note: You can still record and post covers as normal in BandLab. This rule applies specifically to the context of creating an Album.

• Anyone who has purchased your albums in the past will still have access to their purchases.
• You’ll no longer be able to put new albums up for sale.
• You can unpublish your existing paid albums if you don't want them to be free on BandLab.
