Members loveofjazz Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Good backing tracks are hard to come by. Some of the best that I've heard locally were created by the musicians using them.I worked for years with a wedding band that used preprogrammed tracks for numerous songs. They turned out quite nice, but they were created by a musician that worked in a rhythm section regularly, and they were rehearsed with the band until the song sounded correct.Performing as a solo artist with backing tracks is a potentially frustrating thing. I've done okay with live looping and a cajon, some other rhythm items, and layering of guitar...but I've wanted to move over to backing tracks so I could get in on some of the country club and resaurant work that is out there. Two of the local solo guys worked a big church gig with me last year and I gotto hear some realy, really interesting approaches. One does all of his work on his keyboard, while the other pre-records everything, converts to mp3, then loads to his main iPod and backup iPod. Both turnedout some outstanding performances, too. Real top notch stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
