[MusicTlk] Editable backing tracks

Mon Jan 9 06:09:58 UTC 2023

Hi,

The lead vocal is mine on this sample song I've attached.	
I've been using that site for my karaokes since before the pandemic.
The backup vocals were available for this track so I took advantage of them.

Dear Sandra,

	I frankly don't know all the ins & outs of the site but I am
learning it as I go! Do you do recording? Do you have any to share?

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.
