More About Backing Tracks

I wrote yesterday about the use of backing tracks to play along with a popular song that you like. But what if you want to jam along with something you wrote? Making your own backing tracks can be a tricky task, even with a quality equipment setup. For this, there is Jam Studio.com. Similar to Apples Garageband, Jam Studio.com allows you to piece together the song you want to create, chord by chord. Theres plenty of instruments to choose from and many different modes, also. What I mean by modes is that you can choose the drum beat, or the strum pattern for the guitar, or the rythm for the piano. Unfortunatley, you have to pay to save your work as an MP3 file. But with a free account, you can still save your song on their website and listen to it whenever you have an internet connection. Also, the user interface is very useable and bogus-free. Have fun.
