Where to find backing tracks without keyboard/piano in them?

[LeCatnip]

Hey

Anyone know a good site that has backing tracks that have a full band but with the keyboard/piano removed?

Preferably a link to free tracks would be ideal, but if anyone can suggest a good site i'd be very appreciative as I've struggled to find any decent ones that have a lot of keyboard player specific tracks.

Cheers

Hello Lecatnip,

If your backing track has piano, the simplest thing to do is to delete the piano track, or just turn it off.

Catnip,

Are we talking midi files or mp3 or what?

Hi Lecatnip.

Its sounds as if midi files would be your best bet as you can delete/mute any individual
instrument in the score , but if its not midi files your talking about its a little harder.

Hello Catnip,

Might I suggest you check out jammit.com? They licensed the actual multitrack masters and provide keyboard versions for many classic tunes. The downside, you have to pay for the tracks. But hey, it's a great way to support some of our musical heroes!

Regards,
Gord

midi file, search by song or group

If you need this to play over a learned song that has keyboard in it, sometimes you just have to pan the sound to get rid of the keys part(depends of the studio work and era of recording of the song I imagine...)...but it's a cheaper trick for sure!!!

I play keys with just a bass and drum backing track. Its not midi, real bass and drums recorded on hundreds of songs. Haven't found anything out there better. Great quality. In fact other than midi type stuff haven't found any sites with just bass and drums. If anyone knows of other sites please post. The site is http://www.drumandbasstracks.com Most sites I've found are gears towards guitar.
