Minus (or backing track) is a phonogram that lacks any part - vocal or one of the instruments. Most often backing tracks are used by vocalists as musical accompaniment during performances in restaurants and clubs, etc. Minus is not karaoke, it is of good quality, often contains backing vocals.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to find the minus of the song you need on one of the free minus websites. One of these sites is www.plus-msk.ru. You can use a list of domestic and foreign artists in alphabetical order, and enter the song title in the search field. The disadvantages of pop songs are the easiest to find - there are most of them on the Internet. For rock music, for example, there are dedicated resources.
Step 2
There are sites and forums where musicians and vocalists communicate with each other and exchange backing tracks. One of them is the music forum forum.vocal.ru. Register and leave a request for the minus you need, perhaps some of the users have it. Also use the search - suddenly someone has already posted what you are looking for on the site. A good way to get new backing tracks is to chat with fellow musicians (if you are a professional musician). Invite your friend to exchange the existing disadvantages. This mutual help saves time and money and enriches your repertoire.
Step 3
Attempts to find the right backing tracks on the net are not always successful. This happens when the song is still completely new, when it is popular in narrow circles, etc. It also happens that the available minuses are of poor quality or do not have backing vocals. In this case, use the services of a professional arranger. They often offer the creation of quality backing tracks for a fee. As a rule, before placing an order, you can familiarize yourself with the finished works of a specialist and form your opinion about their quality.
