How To Make A Backing Track with Band-in-a-Box

A well put together backing track is a musician’s best friend. Singer-songwriter Joanne Cooper takes you through the process of making one with the easy-to-use and versatile program Band-in-a-Box! http://musl.ink/joannecooper Backing tracks are the perfect accompaniment: they’re present enough to keep you on track, but are not so overpowering that you can’t focus on your own playing. They are invaluable to soloists, songwriters, and vocalists alike. Today, I’m going to be showing you how to make a backing track using PG Music’s Band-in-a-Box product. Using this backing track, you can do all sorts of things like play along and sing along and improvise over it, but before I get into the video tutorial, I just want to mention our video course that I’ve just finished making called, “First Song with Band-in-a-Box,” where I take you through the whole process of writing, recording, mixing, mastering and producing and also releasing your own song using Band-in-a-Box from PG Music. You can access the course directly from my website. http://www.joannecooper.co.za/online-courses Now, I’m going to demonstrate to you how I can very quickly and easily make a backing track for a popular song or for a song that you have composed yourself so that you can practice and sing over it. I’ll show you how to change the key, how to change the tempo, how to change the groove, and how to change the instrumentation of the backing track. For this tutorial, we’ll assume that you’ve all already purchased and installed Band-in-a-Box from PG Music, but if you haven’t, here are links to purchase the program on Windows and on Mac! Without further ado, here’s your introduction to using Band-in-a-Box to create backing tracks that will give you incredible practice opportunities: Find out more about Joanne Coper! http://www.joannecooper.co.za/online-courses Joanne's Extensive Playlists of Videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JoanneCooperSA/playlists =============================================== Learn more about Musical U!
