Recording with backing tracks


Preparing to get the most out of your studio time.



Backing tracks should be WAV or AIFF. MP3s are normally not good enough.
Send backing in advance either by FTP or through a system such as YouSendIt. Sending in advance means that the tracks can be setup in advance, saving time.
If you are bringing CDs then bring 2 copies in case one is faulty.
USB Memory sticks are generally more reliable.
Do not bring USB hard drives as they can have compatibility issue with different computers

Finally it is useful if you know the beats per minute (BPM) of each track as that will save time on creating the best setup in the studio
