Today, BandLab Technologies, which also owns the social recording platform BandLab, digital recording workstation Cakewalk, and artist services platform ReverbNation, announced it has acquired the beat marketplace Airbit.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Airbit, a beat marketplace built around digital audio workstations, has been acquired by BandLab Technologies, the parent company of social music creation platform BandLab, Cakewalk, and artist services platform ReverbNation.

  • With the acquisition of Airbit, BandLab is expanding its full-service creation toolset – which includes the free, mobile-first DAW and SongStarter, which provides artists with seamless access to every aspect of music creation, promotion, and distribution.
  • To date, artists have earned over $45M+ on Airbit, with over 2M+ beats sold. The platform is home to more than a million beats from notable producers around the world, as well as emerging beatmakers, providing services for musicians to build sustainable communities and careers. 
  • Airbit producers and artists have won Grammy Awards and landed top placements with artists that include Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Eminem, Tyga, T-Pain, Migos, Meek Mill, and Wiz Khalifa.
  • In the near future, Airbit features will be seamlessly integrated into the BandLab creator platform, ensuring uninterrupted services for users.

Through the acquisition of Airbit, BandLab expands its full-service creator toolset – which includes free, cross-platform DAWs like SongStarter and SongLab, an AI-driven musical idea generator – giving artists seamless access to the full spectrum of music creation, promotion, and distribution.
