Creator's Key Takeaways

The way Stephanie and I are running tracks right now is that there is an iPad and uh it's loaded up with all of these files.

We're using these tracks to supplement our performance and enhance it. We're not hiding behind the tracks.

If a musician or a band or an artist or whatever wants to use additional pieces of technology to enhance or supplement their live performances, I think that all that does is serve the audience the best performance possible.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use tracks to supplement and enhance your performance, not to hide behind them.
βœ“Separate the mix so that only the audience hears the tracks, while performers hear the click track.
βœ“Ensure that using tracks serves the audience the best performance possible.

YouTube Video Description↓

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. November 11, 2022 I have been having the same conversation about the use of backing tracks with people, including my own bandmates at times, for years! After a kind and innocent comment that raised this topic to the forefront of my brain, I decided to make a video outlining how I feel about tracks and why I feel the way I do. If you would like to get more access to me and my band and get more content, please consider supporting the channel on Patreon. Some perks include exclusive content, gig reports (an honest, uncensored, and sometimes brutal take on the gigs we play), merch, VIP status at gigs, and so much more!
