Backing Tracks

Post by Don Kuhn »

Sooooooooooo where do you guys and ladies get your backing tracks. I'm sure some of you probably make them yourself but where can we as beginner's get them , Free would even be better but I know you have to pay to play.
Thanks Peeps

There are many tracks available thru the forum and it's members.
You can also get many tracks on Google and Youtube. Just go to
either one and in the search bar type in either the singers name
or the name of the song and type karaoke after it. There are many.

Example: Type Charlie Pride karaoke and this page will open. :D :arrow: .

iReal pro is a great app that lets you play audio based on a chord chart.

i'm using Band In A Box. It's pretty easy. What i do is compose a tune and then render it in different keys (with a click). Click Audio (output, i think it is) and click wav. file stereo. i begging the name of the file with the key. when it shows where the file is going i put it in my documents. it will ask (in iMac) "do you want to viewing Finder? i click yes. it comes up and i will drag and drop it wherever's convenient at the time, usually desktop. i'll drag as many renditions as i need or want (various keys... drums only... drums and rhythm guitar only, etc.). i then highlight the ones i want to burn and put in an MUSIC CD and burn it. then i can play it in my CD player and output it analogue-wise into my multi-track recorder (two tracks, pan one left, one right). from there i can add my own guitars, vocals, anything. Try it, you'll like it. the 2017 version is out.
