Each person has a favorite performer, whose songs you always want to listen to. Having ear and experience in audio / midi editors, it becomes possible to perform the tracks of a famous musical personality on your own. To do this, you just need to create a backing track for his song. A backing track is a musical composition in which there is no part, be it vocals, guitar, grand piano, saxophone, etc. There are a great many options for creating backing tracks, but there are only a few simple and effective ones.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to create your own backing track, first of all, you need to download a program for working with audio / midi files on your computer. To create a backing track, you can use the Sonar 8 program. It is quite effective for solving this problem.
The first step is to import the audio file into the sequencer (software for recording and playing midi files). Then you should align the first beat to the beginning of the measure.
Step 2
Next, you need to pick up the pace. The best option is when the song has no deceleration or acceleration, that is, with a "even" tempo. Then it is worth turning on the mitron and aligning the peaks along the bar lines. It is also possible to calculate the tempo using the Tempo window. To do this, click on it. A button "Click here to tap tampo" will appear in the window. If you click on it in time with the song, you can roughly calculate the tempo.
Step 3
If the tempo is not even in the song, you will have to draw different values for the measures in the tempo map.
Next, you need to open the Piano Roll, and while listening to the material in parts, and note by note, write the parts. It is also possible to play them on the midi keyboard, which is synchronized with the computer using a cord.
Step 4
Then you can choose which tool to register first. The selection of tools is fairly straightforward. You need to look through all the plugs and samples, which will help you choose the sounds most similar to the original instruments.
When listening to chords, it is necessary to prescribe incomprehensible places with a triad. Arranged verses and choruses can help with further navigation.
Step 5
Next, you need to mix the previously created musical parts. Start with the less important tools, then you can mix together the rest. The overall balance should be checked regularly to ensure that all parts of the range are evenly filled.
Step 6
When you finish mixing the music, the backing track is ready. You can listen to it, save it to your computer, and perform your favorite song.
