Good stuff! If you check online for the going average cost to pay someone to make you a backing tract, it is now $150 per song. Great fluffy biscuits in the morning! So, here you're getting 26 great backing tracks with violin, mandolin, guitar and bass for just $45, plus all the tablature.
The musicians are:
- Sean Ray – Banjo, Guitar, Bass
- Brian Ray – Mandolin
- Paul Kienitz – Violin
That's a great deal if you ask me! I don't get anything for promoting other people's stuff, I just like sharing things that help to enrich other musicians.
Also, on a different but related note, I love the program MixCraft and have used it for over 10 years to work with backing tracks and record my music. I use the Pro Studio version of MixCraft for $149, but I'm sure I could easily get by with the cheaper version. I've always had the philosophy that it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. If you do opt to buy the less expensive basic version, you can always upgrade for a discounted price at a later time to the Pro Studio version if you want. With just the lower priced $79 version you can edit any backing track to change it's tempo, key, add effects, et cetera.
For example: I really like the song Ground Speed. Sean Ray made an awesome backing track for it in his The Session Book course, but I wanted to speed it up a bit (it's one of a few songs I can play at a faster tempo), so I used MixCraft to make it a bit faster today. If you do purchase MixCraft and have any questions, I'll do what I can to help you. There's plenty of helpful information and tutorials online for the program, which is invaluable. Plus MixCraft has good tech support. Once you buy the program, it's yours for life. I like that. I hate the Microsoft wants to charge you every year to use their software. I try to avoid those traps.
