With the unplugged backing tracks there is a different way of utilizing a vocal harmonizer.

Use a harmonizer to get vocal harmonies

Experience the ease and convenience of using a harmonizer, as it effortlessly records your voice and produces harmonies in real time. The harmonizer captures your incoming audio, generating harmonies at different pitches while retaining the original melody. With the backing tracks as your guide, you can explore and experiment with multiple harmonies simultaneously.

A guitarist usually connects his guitar to the harmonizer, which recognizes the chords and produces a copy of the singer’s voice in one or more different keys. Example, singing in C, the harmonizer reproduces in real time your voice in F, or G, according to your settings.

Control the vocal harmonies with the backing tracks.

With these unplugged backing tracks you can use a vocal harmonizer using the guitar already registered in the backink track.

Just connect your audio player to the harmonizer, no longer your guitar to the harmonizer. The harmonizer recognizes the chords of the guitar played by the backing track, freeing you from the problem of a perfect guitar performance!

With these backing tracks you can exploit the harmonizer without worrying about hitting perfect chords.

How To Install the Backing Tracks

Step by step how to install the backing tracks that you downloaded after purchase

This guide is for those who bought the complete collection. If you only bought the SGU tracks, read only the first part.

Some musicians asked me for explanations on how to install. Here a simple guide.

Your download file is a “RAR” file (what is a RAR? How to open a RAR?). After unzipping it, inside you will find the content (4 more folders):

SGU folder

Copy the SGU folder into the same folder (the first on the left) where you save the Band in a Box SGU files. If you don’t know where, click on BiaB main screen “Save As” and you can see the folder location (in this case “bb””):

You can choose the sgu song by clicking Open / Open File:

MP3 Folders

The other folders contain MP3 songs and lyrics. Each MP3 song is associated with a lyrics file, with .lrc extension, i.e.:

Remember that to show the lyrics you need to install an lrc program (I use MiniLyrics).

That’s all. Put the files in your favorite player, start the Mp3 and see the lyrics synchronized!

How To import and play a midi file on Band-In-A-Box^® with separate realtracks

The Band-In-A-Box Trick: How The Experts Create a Song In A Few Minutes Without Learning The Chords!

We want to create a backing track in a few minutes, with real instruments. Watch the video, but you can also follow the tutorial step by step on this page.

Import the MIDI file. The problem is that Band-in-a-Box® will import all the track of the MIDI file into a single track (the Melody track). We need a different procedure.

1. Search for the midi file, e.g. I can’t tell you why ” by The Eagles”, and download.

2. Open Band in a Box without choruses

Menu, Choruses =1

3. Open the midi file (goes to Melody track)

4. Here is your midi file, but all the tracks are on the melody track, and they cannot be separated.

5. Check the number of bars occupied by the song. You will have to add this number of bars later

6. Select all the bars by dragging the mouse over the whole song and copy the content

7. Open a new song from scratch

8. Insert a number of bars not less than that of the midi

9. Paste the song

10. Now your midi has all the tracks editable

11. Replace them with your favorite real tracks

12. Import your instruments to all the tracks you intend to use

13. That’s all! Your song is ready. You can save it like “sgu” file or export (.wav or .mp3)

14. Export the song (Rendering)

15. Done. This is your old midi with real tracks!

GUITAR ACOUSTIC BACKING TRACKS

NEW! Are you looking for an accompanying guitarist?

Perform alone with the backing of a second acoustic guitar recorded by a rhythm guitar player! (+ special function, see after)

These guitar backing tracks are dedicated to those who perform as soloists but at time require to be accompanied by a second acoustic guitarist, and have already discarded the use of the looper, midi or classic backing tracks, which due to the numerous instruments make the performance come across as unnatural.

BACKING TRACKS WITH GUITAR ACCOMPANIMENT — Guitar Duo: You and the virtual player

After experimenting with the use of the looper (*) in my performances as alone guitarist, I had to think of a different solution, as the looper has the defect of easily causing live errors.

Even if previously storing the loops in special memories, the system remains impractical and with an unsatisfactory overall sound. Furthermore, it is precisely “loops” and not an entire composition, limiting the repertoire to a few dozen songs.

“UNPLUGGED” BACKING TRACKS WITH REAL GUITAR ACCOMPANIMENT

I have prepared for you a list of songs with only the accompaniment of the guitar, not midi, but with the real musicians of “Band in a Box”.

Here a demo video:

This collection of backing tracks was born from different demands:

Having the sound of a guitar accompaniment without the backing tracks instruments that make your performance feel artificial.
No midi sounds, but a real guitar that accompanies you, played by a real musician.
Read the lyrics already synchronized with the music.
All within the reach of a simple smartphone.
For those who use the harmonizer: to be able to harmonize the voice without playing the chords with your guitar, but automatically from the chords played by the backing track: no more mistakes!

If you already have Band in a Box you know what I’m talking about, backing tracks created with the rhythm guitar, excluding all other realtracks, in order to create an authentic accompaniment. The result is equivalent to a duo of true guitarists.

If you are unaware, or don’t have Band in a Box, you can use the mp3 tracks ready for your accompaniments, complete with lyrics, with your smartphone or mp3 player.

If you are already a user of the BiaB software, you can change the tracks as you wish without losing quality, such as pitch shifting, alternate guitar sounds, etc.

It’s time to impress your audience, add backing tracks “only rhythm guitar” to your performances and lyrics!

(*) Looper: a “looper” pedal records a musical passage and then repeatedly plays it back on a loop. Once it is played back, most loop pedals allow for overdubbing new passages over the first one.

VOCAL HARMONIZER

With these tracks there is a different way of utilizing a vocal harmonizer.

Just connect your mp3 player to the harmonizer, no longer your guitar to the harmonizer. The harmonizer recognizes the chords of the guitar played by the backing track, freeing you from the problem of a perfect performance!
