Newbie here has a dilema and a puzzling one at that. While doing some songs using tracs, I could not find the right chord I was out of tune and when I did finally find it I was between frets. I am in tune according to my Stroboflip and my Newman tuning instruction DVD. So whats up with this? Is buying these play along tracs a gamble? And how can you be sure that they are good quality? Somebody help me with an answer and some good buying advice. Thanks in advance. Peace out.   |

If you are going to spend most your time playing to backtracks, you need to invest in getting a CD player with variable pitch control.
Cassettes are the worst offenders.
Another shaky one is a track converted to mp3 at low bit rate. A bit rate of at least 256 bit is ok, assuming the original wave file was in pitch. You are welcome to send me a PM if you need more info on this.

Why not make your own tracs with Band-in-a-Box? I've never had a problem using that program.

| It's the responsibility of the producer of the tracks to make sure they're at the proper pitch. All of mine are at A=440, and I've had no complaints. |
