Do you ever just sit there and listen to a stray kids song? Like, really LISTEN?

I want so badly to sit there in the room while they make a song. Like, to be a fly on the wall in that room-

I’m absolutely obsessed with whats going on in Easy, Domino or Maniac.

I love the tiny little vocal sound bites or the instruments that are so quiet you barely notice them but they absolutely help fill the space.

There’s so much you don’t notice unless you sit there and piece through all the layers yourself. I sit there and look like I’m concentrating on a wall so hard lmao

And I will die if I don’t get to ask them who made Venom and to walk me through everything they did to make it. That song tickles my brain and I need to know how it was made.

I've seen some haters online criticising Taylor for using backing tracks and I'm like AND?? She's up on that stage for 3 hours singing 45 songs! Let her use backing tracks if she wants!

I think she does have them a bit on this tour (mainly in the Midnights section where there are some vocal effects from what I've seen), but hasn't really used them previously. I also think that sometimes people assume she's using a backing track when it's actually the Starlights. Backing vocals and backing tracks are not the same thing!

Honestly, I'd just ignore them. If people want to hate, they'll find something to pick on and if all they can think of are a few backing tracks then just leave them to their sad lives. Meanwhile, we can celebrate an absolutely spectacular show!

Falling In Reverse and the backing tracks

Since Sept 2022 there is a renewing beef between Ronnie Radke and Eddie Trunk/Sebastian Bach about the question: is there confirmed for a rock band to use laptops (a.k.a. backing tracks) in their live show or that would kill the essence of rock music live.

After many attempts from other musicians to explain Trunk that rock music has changed some in the past 30 years, and the live sounding became much complicated and dense either, Loudwire released an article today which summarizes the usage of the backing tracks in live music in general.

We even have a nice and clear definition here:

The article goes on with detailing the beef between FIR/Ronnie and Eddie, summarizing the mudthrowing which lasted more than a month long in 2022. Finally we get a statement:

"The band [FIR] undeniably has electronic components in their music, so the use of tracks is really the only way the songs could be adapted live appropriately."

Ronnie Radke talks about the laptop issue at Aftershock Festival in 2022, not much after the beef started. I picked only the backing track part, but it's worth to watch the whole video on YouTube.

Another article was relased a few days later detailing bands' thoughts on using backing tracks in a live show.

The article contains a fabulous quote from Ronnie, unfortunately already deleted from Twitter.

The whole beef from Sep 2022 was well summarized in RockFeed's video, check below:

Back in 2021, Wolfgang Van Halen shared his thoughts on the use of backing tracks during live shows, saying rather frankly that he thought the practice was “lame as hell.”

He did make exceptions for some situations – “unless it's like, for a keyboard part that you can't necessarily get,” he said – but for the case of vocals and guitars, he made himself pretty clear: “You should just stay home and listen to shit on Spotify if they're going to play to tracks like that.”

Well, his opinion on the matter hasn’t wavered one bit, with the Mammoth WVH frontman doubling down on his stance during a recent conversation with Ola Englund.

When asked about his Taylor Hawkins tribute show shredding taking people by surprise – even leading to accusations of using backing tracks – Van Halen replied, “You never know... hell, half the people live, it’s tracks nowadays. It’s just a fucking bummer.”

“Everybody else draws their own line with what tracks are acceptable or not, but it’s like, if you’re pumping in the main guitar riff and the lead vocals and actual fucking drums – like, pre-recorded drums – that’s a problem. You should be able to play your shit.”

Echoing his earlier comments, Van Halen went on, “I can understand [if] you don’t have a keyboard player so [you] need the pad, that’s fine, you can’t carry around a 60-piece orchestra, so you’ve got the strings – that’s fine. But lead vocal, main guitar, main bass and the drums… you should be playing that.”

The topic turned to the question over whether over-production in modern music has lead to an over-reliance on backing tracks to recreate certain songs, but Van Halen’s approach remained rooted in traditional approaches.

“I never do anything in the studio that I can’t do live,” he asserted. “Sure, there are tricks that you can do to do stuff you wouldn’t normally be able to do, but why would you want to do that? It’s about creating music that you’re capable of doing and you could do live.”

“I got to a concert to see bands play the fuck out of their music. That’s what we try to do with Mammoth. First and foremost, we are playing everything and we’re doing it to the best of our ability.”

The use of backing tracks during live shows is a hot topic of conversation in the guitar world, with Dream Theater’s John Petrucci recently taking a far more laissez-faire approach to the practice, while still sharing some of Van Halen’s sentiments.

“It depends on what people are doing,” he mused to Guitar World, “because some people don't tour with their whole bands, so they have sound effects and things going on. If they're up there playing their asses off, and they have some sound effects backing that up while they're doing it, that doesn't really bother me.”

His approach further contrasted with Van Halen’s on the subject of bass tracks, specifically, with Trooch saying a “pre-recorded bass player” would be acceptable “to keep the show going.”

But, he stressed, “Having said that, I think that if anybody's up there faking it or pretending, that's a whole different thing.”

Van Halen is gearing up to release his second Mammoth WVH studio album – Mammoth II – which has so far been previewed with Another Celebration at the End of the World and Like a Pastime.

Once again, he called upon some of his father's most notable guitars – as well as his original Van Halen Marshall amp head and cab – for the effort.

To be honest every artist has done their fair share of lip syncing but if you’re at a point where you’re doing it for every show that’s a problem but money talks

Tom Keifer, Brian Vollmer and Robin Zander haven't done such a thing last i checked. But you are right. Blackie Lawless may defend backing tracks all he wants but he SHOULD AT LEAST TO GET HELP! Look at Tom! He's still got it!

Unleashing Your Musical Potential with NetTracks

Unleashing Your Musical Potential with NetTracks: A Deep Dive into Alive Drumming’s Innovative App - By Jude Young

The Australian government outlines that COVID-19 heavily disrupted the live music sector. There is an 80 per cent fall in the number of promoted events from 35,800 in 2019 to just 7,300 in 2020.

“Backtracks in music provide a reliable base for live performances, enriching the experience for artists and audiences. It enables intricate arrangements, accompaniments, and soundscapes that may be challenging to recreate using only live instruments,” says music enthusiast Flynn Lawson of YouTube To MP3—Australia’s most successful affiliate partner online. 

Technology continues to redefine how musicians create, practice, and perform. One such revolutionary innovation is the NetTracks app by Alive Drumming, a tool that has completely transformed the concept of backing tracks. 

Take a comprehensive look at the capabilities and benefits of this remarkable app:

NetTracks understands this concern and presents an intuitive interface that guides musicians effortlessly. The user-friendly controls ensure that even those less familiar with technology can access its features without impediments.

Furthermore, NetTracks seamlessly integrates with Apple devices, elevating the user experience to new heights. The compatibility with iOS devices creates a synergy, ensuring musicians can access their personalised backing tracks consistently across their devices. This integration enhances convenience and promotes a seamless transition from practice to performance.

3. Real-time Accompaniment

Practising with a live band can be a transformative experience, yet only sometimes readily available. NetTracks bridges this gap by offering real-time accompaniment for musicians.

4. Nurturing Musical Growth Through Exploration

Exploration is at the heart of musical evolution. NetTracks encourages musicians to go beyond their comfort zones and embark on new musical journeys. The vast selection of backing tracks with the ability to customise them serves as a springboard for creativity. Musicians can experiment with different musical genres, tempos, and arrangements, fostering a culture of curiosity and artistic exploration that propels their musical growth.

5. Reducing Friction For Enhanced Accessibility

NetTracks is a streaming service for backing tracks, increasing accessibility by eliminating barriers.

This approach reduces obstacles, allowing musicians to concentrate on their craft.

Falling In Reverse - Watch The World Burn - live Worcester/MA, 4/29/2023

The best sound quality fan recorded video of this song, and what makes it important is that finally there can be clearly and undoubtedly hear Ronnie's and Tyler's voices separately, so there ain't no chance to be confused with backing tracks or lip syncing.

There were many sofa warrior haters accusing Ronnie with lip syncing on this song, most probably because it's one obviously very hard to perform and Ronnie carries it out with incredible perfection.

Always avoid vocal cut and other features on audio programs. You need to clean the vocals perfectly and it should be centered on the track and it should not have reverb or flanged effects which mostly remain.
