BandVolt on Product Hunt: who it's for

If you searched for BandVolt, or for a BandVolt review, you want the plain version before the feature list. We launched on Product Hunt on 23 October 2026. This is what the product actually does, and who it is for.

BandVolt is one shared workspace for a band: every mix version in order, notes pinned to the second on the waveform, setlists, a shared calendar, files, a ledger, and a free Electronic Press Kit. It runs in the browser, on a phone or a desktop. It does not record or edit audio, and it does not replace your DAW. It starts once you have a bounce.

A short Product Hunt demo covers the highlights, and the full product demo is the longer tour. Each feature also has a walkthrough on the features page.

Bands and ensembles

BandVolt for bands is the core of the product. A gigging four-piece, a cover or wedding band, a worship team, and a larger ensemble run into the same mess: which mix is current, what is on tonight, where the chart or the rider went, and who paid for the room. A brass, pipe, or marching lineup is still an ensemble. There is not a separate app for each of them.

Upload a voice memo or a DAW bounce and it becomes a labelled, dated version of the song. The next bounce lines up behind it. Mix version control keeps that history on the song, with stems and supporting files beside it, so nobody is left with final_FINAL_v3.

Feedback sits on the waveform. Timestamped comments land on the second they are about, on the version they were written for, with replies, and you can mark a note resolved when it is done. Quick Compare plays two versions at the same position, with loudness matching so the louder bounce does not win by default. Mix Health is a check you run when you want one. It returns a 0-100 release-readiness score with plain-language guidance. A run costs 5 Volts, and it never starts on its own. AI Mix Summary turns a long thread into a list of what to change, for 1 Volt.

The live side is the same workspace. Setlists use any version of any song, including an unreleased arrangement, can show key, BPM, and lyrics in rehearsal, and print a numbered stage sheet. The shared calendar holds gigs, rehearsals, and sessions, with the setlist and files such as a tech rider on the date. Staying organised as a gigging band is the week-to-week version, and running a church worship band is the same workflow for a team that plays every week.

Headcount is the difference for a larger ensemble, not a different product. Basic includes 10 workspace slots. Premium includes 25, and further packs of 10 are £2.49 a month. Each person has their own login.

Band finances is the shared ledger: income, expenses, receipts, recurring costs, and a year summary. It records the numbers. It does not send the money.

Music teachers and school ensembles

A teacher running a school band, a college ensemble, or a community group uses that same workspace. The concert programme is a setlist. Rehearsals are calendar events. Parts, scores, and recordings sit in folders, with a 30-day recycle bin if something is deleted by mistake. A note on a recording lands on the waveform.

Under-18s can use BandVolt from the age of 16. The age requirement sets 16 as the minimum, so students aged 16 and 17 can have their own login and join the ensemble. Anyone under 16 must not. Bands are private by default, and a public page exists only when you publish one. It is the band workspace, not a register or a gradebook.

Studios, engineers, and labels

BandVolt for studios is two workflows. If the band already uses BandVolt, they invite you to the song or the album. On Premium that invite is a Contributor, who can upload and download, or a Reviewer, who streams, compares, and comments, without the rest of the workspace. If they do not use it yet, host the project yourself and hand it over with a content transfer. Mixes, stems, supporting files, and the comment history move when their Owner accepts. Sending needs Premium. A free band can receive the transfer if they have the storage. How studio engineers and producers use BandVolt is the longer version.

Labels and managers get one workspace per act and one login across them. On Premium, band memberships are unlimited, and one act cannot see another’s songs, files, calendar, or ledger. BandVolt for labels and managers covers approvals and pitching. A rate for several bands is a conversation with [email protected]. It is not a figure this post can invent.

The free EPK maker

The page people look up by name is the free EPK maker. Every band, on Basic and on Premium, can publish an electronic press kit on its own URL. One link carries a bio, a tagline, and an elevator pitch, featured tracks from the library with a waveform player, photos and YouTube videos, press quotes and social links, a booking contact, and upcoming shows from the gigs you flag on the calendar. Viewers need no account. You can preview before publishing, choose a theme and an accent colour, reorder or hide sections, and take the page offline again. Total views, and views over the last 30 days, show whether anyone opened it.

The kit plays the tracks you choose to feature. It is not a sequenced album or EP page. When someone should hear a whole release in order, with no account, that is a public share link: a song on any tier, or a full album or EP on Premium, revoked whenever you like. How to send your EP to a label is that job. The press kit introduces the band. The share link is the listen.

An optional AI bio writer drafts a bio, a pitch, and tagline options from notes you supply, at 2 Volts a generation. Nothing goes on the page until you apply it. Basic includes 10 Volts a month and Premium includes 200. The press kit itself stays free. What to put in a band EPK is what a promoter actually reads in the minute they give the link.

What it costs

Basic is free: 1 GB of storage, 10 workspace slots, up to three active public song links, the EPK, setlists, the calendar, and the ledger. No card is required to start. Premium is £9.99 a month for the whole band, not per person, or £89.99 a year. That raises storage to 50 GB and slots to 25, includes 200 Volts a month, and adds unlimited song links, public album and EP links, external collaborators, content transfer, and membership of unlimited Premium bands. The list is on the pricing page. Files are stored as you uploaded them, and playback uses that file. Audio is not compressed to save space.

The listing

BandVolt on Product Hunt is the launch page, the same product page the footer badge uses. If the mix, the note, the setlist, and the press link should live in one workspace the whole band can open, start free and put a song in. Upgrade the band when you need the Premium pieces.
