Customized Guitar Backing Tracks: Variable Tempo and Key
Did you know your backing tracks are no longer tied to a specific tempo or key. You might find that hard to believe but it’s true. There are 10 FREE examples below. Download one or download all of them.
Here is how these variable speed and pitch files work. The backing track audio is embedded in a Song Surgeon cPod file. Once you download and double click the cPod it will open and run an instance of Song Surgeon on your computer (you are not required to own or even install Song Surgeon on your machine). Once the program interface opens, you will see toward the bottom of the main interface, sections for Tempo and Pitch. Using the + or - buttons, or the preset buttons you can change tempo or key or both at once. This will allow you to customize the backing track for your use.
cPod files can be modified while open on our screen but no permanent changes can be made to these files because the are cPods. If you like the ability to customize backing tracks and make multiple tracks of various tempos and keys, then you might want to consider purchasing Song Surgeon because the program can export and permanently save changes, it can also create cPods of backing tracks, music lessons, band sets, etc.
Below is a brief description of each backing track and a link to download the adjustable key and tempo, cPod file.
