Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a Custom Backing Track?
Creating your mix
To the right of each individual track, you can use the "MUTE" button to mute that track, or the cursor to adjust its volume.

Adding to your basket
Click on the "Add to Basket" button and proceed to the payment of your order. If you have any doubts about your custom backing track, you can modify your mix with the "MIX" button in the shopping basket. Once your order is validated, the final mixing of the file begins.

Downloading the custom backing track
To receive the best sound quality, the final mixing of your MP3 files can take a few minutes. You can follow your order on your My files page. When the mixing is finished, you can download it just like any other file.
Can I modify my MP3 custom backing tracks after purchasing my order?
Absolutely! Once you've purchased a song, all subsequent mixes are unlimited and free. You can modify all of the custom backing tracks, including ones you purchased months ago. All the files you've already bought are available in "My files".
Why do I only hear a sample although I've bought this track?
Because the generation of a Custom Backing Track is long and complex, you'll only hear a short extract of your customization in real-time.
You must download the MP3 version to hear your Custom Backing Track in full version, including your modifications (volumes, pitch...).
What should I do if the preview doesn't sound correctly?
The preview tool may sometimes provide a lower-quality sample. However, the generated custom tracks will always be well synchronised and noiseless. Before your first order, you can check out our custom accompaniment tracks with one of the free titles.
If you're having preview issues, then here's how to solve them:
- Restart your browser and eventually try with a different browser.
- A "clipping" sound may be caused by a slow system. Close your running software and keep only your browser open.
- If you're still experiencing problems, then try another computer.
What if I can't find the custom backing track I want?
If we already have the MP3 backing track, you can suggest the custom MP3 by clicking on the envelope on the related page. If the title you would like is not currently available in any format, you can request it with the suggestion tool.

We do not currently have the separated mixes for all of our backing tracks, and unfortunately the audio multi-track conversion is long and complex. Nevertheless, we're doing our best to complete the custom backing track catalogue!
How can I change the key of my Custom Backing Track?
In order to change the key of your Custom Backing Track, you just need to click on the arrows next to the "Add to cart" button.

When you have selected your key, click on "Refresh" and your new Custom Backing Track will be generated accordingly.

What happens if I've already purchased the tracks?

From your account, under "My files", you just need to click "Change". The "classic" interface will show up and from there, the instructions are the same.
What is panning and how can I do it?
Panning allows you to create distinct effects by adjusting the track’s sounds to left or right.

Panning is allowed with any Karaoke Version Custom Backing Tracks and can be done by sliding the grey slider to the left or right.
- L = Left
- C = Center
- R = Right
The latest updated version of the mixer along with an an updated web browser is required to use this feature.
How to download each track separately ?
If you want to get each track separately, the only way to do so is to create them separately and then download the separated file individually for each instrument/track.

And there is no need to worry when you modify your Custom Backing Tracks because you can do it as much as you want for free !
