Hi fellow members
I‘m interested in back tracking or back ground music to play my saxophone and sing to. Unfortunately I’m not computer savvy and have NEVER downloaded any music in my life. Here in the country we don’t have internet or even a computer. The only reason I can get on this site is due to the iPhone I use.
What I originally wanted to do was learn how to use band in a box or garage band since I have them however I don’t want to get distracted spending all my time learning computer stuff so lately I’ve found piano backgrounds that are very simplified which I can play to or sing to which I love.
What I’m wondering about is copy right laws etc.
Am I allowed to use them if they are for sale and use them to create my own music to share with others?
These wiki loops were suggested to me but I don’t know what songs they are or what instruments are used. I’m looking for mainly pop ballads since that’s what I like to play. The selection in this list is Rock/pop. Does this mean it’s Rock & pop or pop rock?
How do I tell what songs are on these backtracks?
Do I have to download them to find out?
Are they free or is their a fee?
Can I legally use these background tracks and legally be able to share with others if I mention who plays the background music?
How do I know what other instruments are on each?
What’s the best way to discover all of this?
We are supposed to be getting internet but we are only getting a SIM card for one of our older phones to access it. I want to get a computer and at first I was considering only using a Mac since it had apple technology which is the only thing I understand.
Would I be best off using a regular new computer from Costco? ( can return it if I don’t like it )
What I’d ultimately like to do is download background music that I enjoy and record my singing and playing to it. Then I’d like to store this somewhere and share it with others.
Is this doable?
Wade gave me this link to backtracks made by musicians from right here? Can someone who uses them, tell me a bit about them and how they work? Is there any ‘piano only’ backtracks? If so, how do I find them? Do I have to download the files to discover this?
Sorry for all the questions. Please don’t feel obligated to try and answer them all.
I’d just like to generate a discussion about this in ‘laymen’s terms,’ so I can understand it eventually.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
