BandLab Technologies has acquired AI-powered digital audio workstation Aiode, adding to its suite of products which includes BandLab, Cakewalk, ReverbNation and Airbit.
Aiode is a digital music-making product that allows music creators to write and produce songs by using audio-to-audio models, meaning a user can upload a half-finished track they’ve made, for example, and Aiode’s AI-powered virtual musicians can help finish out the song idea stem-by-stem. It also allows musicians to regenerate specific portions of songs to help take their ideas in a new direction, to quickly find new samples and to work alongside models based on real musicians, who have collaborated with Aiode, to create with their artistic flair.
Developed alongside session musicians and producers, the product has only been trained on licensed pre-existing music as well as audio created by professional musicians in-house. The models within Aiode’s platform are also proprietary and all of its licensed training data is traceable to its source.
Aiode adds to BandLab Technologies’ suite of options for a growing class of do-it-yourself music creators, including BandLab, which is a social music creation platform, and Cakewalk, its suite of desktop music tools. Based in Singapore, BandLab Technologies is a division of Caldecott Music Group, which also owns NME Networks and Vista Musical Instruments.
This deal is part of a growing trend in AI music acquisitions in the last year. In 2025, AI music company Suno acquired WavTool, a browser-based digital audio workstation, and Epidemic Sound purchased Song Sleuth, an AI recognition startup. In January, Beatstars acquired AI music tool Lemonaide, and Splice bought Kits AI. Then, in February, Google acquired AI music startup ProducerAI, which is now available as part of Google Labs’ offerings, which also includes its music model Lyria 3.
“Aiode shares BandLab Technologies’ ethos of innovation and giving music makers every opportunity to find success,” says Idan Dobrecki, CEO and co-founder of Aiode. “Since Aiode was founded in 2022, we’ve worked side by side with professional musicians to create technology that respects their artistry and keeps them involved in how their musical identity is represented. BandLab Technologies gives us the opportunity to bring that approach to more creators,”
“For Aiode, joining a group that understands both accessible creation and professional production is a rare fit,” says Blue Dobrecky, COO and co-founder of Aiode. “BandLab Technologies’ breadth of experience gives us a much broader foundation for where Aiode can go as the ways people make music continue to evolve.”
