Members rodclement Posted March 13, 2011 Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 http://www.karaoke-version.com/ Check out the custom tracks where you can remove specific instruments before you download the songs! These are high quality files, you can change key if you want.Downside is that it's all paid, but affordable, if I was looking for tracks to work with, this is what I would use.

Members jvardon Posted March 13, 2011 Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 I did find that site too but as you said, it requires bank/credit/debit cards. For work they would be great or for a demo tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bassin' 'Round Posted March 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 . Downside is that it's all paid, but affordable, if I was looking for tracks to work with, this is what I would use.Rod ...do you have to select one specific key & when it's downloaded, that's it, you have that tune in that key (& if you want the same song in another key, need to download a 2nd time)?...or can you download the song & after downloaded still have the ability to change the key as often as you like?...gotta be the former, huh?...

Members rodclement Posted March 13, 2011 Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 One and done so choose wisely! It works very well and for someone working with backing tracks this is a great resource. I used it a couple of times when someone asked me for a song to send to them. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 100jamesX Posted March 13, 2011 Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 Check out Myspace Karaoke .. they have a huge list of songs Save the backing tracks by recording from your sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Grr. I've been trying to download the MP3 file of a Youtube video I wanted 3 times, and it keeps saying an error has occurred and shutting Internet Explorer each time before it gets to 60% of the download!! GRRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Question: have you updated to Internet Explorer 9 yet? It might be more stable. Statement: try a different site www.keephd.com also has mp3 downloading facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 OMG 9!? I'm still on 7! I resisted even that for a year. lol Then when the IT guy returned my computer after removing a virus I saw it was there. Darn it, I said! lol Anyway, it works now. It's cause of an unrelated thing.

Members jvardon Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Lol. I think you should get it anyway, if not for whatever new features it has, then for the new look. It's a lot better looking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is it? *cynical* I truly am an old fogie. Did you know my parents still have DIAL UP internet!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Haha!! Wow, really? That's amazing, I didn't think service providers would still provide that in a country like Australia.I can hear the connection now *ding dong ding dong ding dong, shhhhhhh, crackle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Heheh yeah!! Exactly what it sounds like. My dad never even turns on the computer (not sure he quite knows HOW) but my mum's pretty good at certain things...she types at over 100 words a minute and is an author so spends a lot of time on there, and she loves researching family history so does that, and also scrapbooking so she's got thousands of photos stored on the PC which she edits and stuff...but with the net...she is used to sitting and waiting and wandering off for a cup of coffee or making a phone call and then coming back to find the website ALMOST loaded!!! Seriously. One time I was down there and I had to check in for my flight back home online and print out the boarding pass, and it took 45 MINUTES because of how SLOW the net was!!! It was an ORDEAL! But also, they have a security alarm system rigged through their phone line and have apparently been told it'd be awkward to get broadband for that reason...but still, MANY people must have similar alarm set-ups and they'd have broadband...??

Members jvardon Posted March 16, 2011 Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 Wow she types fast, maybe she could give my mom lessons. And as for almost loaded? I occasionally have to put up with that non-sense.45 minutes? Omg!! that must have been AGONY!!!! You poor thing, you should have gotten a medal for that kind of bravery.But there are other ways to get broadband speeds, they could get one of those little USB modems. That's what a lot of people here use, they generally fast and they're portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
