Re: singing and backing tracks

Hi eammat - Have you searched for any karaoke sites or resources? That's where I'd look. I believe most karaoke machines, software, etc. basically remove the vocals and what you are left with is a backing track. Good Luck!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: singing and backing tracks

There is software you can buy that'll remove the vocal from any MP3 file you put on your computer, so basically pretty much anything on your iPod. Do a google search and I'm sure you'll come up with something. (I believe the same software will also remove the lead guitar track for anyone that might be interested).
