[MusicTlk] Editable backing tracks

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello Marion,
I've been using these for a number of years and it's nice to hear
about other people's experiences. It's worth mentioning that you can
only manipulate a backing track to this extent when it says it is a
"custom" backing track. All other tracks can be modified in a limited
way, for example, key changes up to two semitones in both directions.
Some tracks are so well put together that that's all they need anyway.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
