The best tracks I ever had done have been done by QBT www.qualitybackingtracks.com

The are based in West Sussex, but don't be fooled by that. These guys ROCK and don't charge an armand a leg. That my recommendation anyway.

Ironicly most places I've been able to find that make custom backing tracks are in the UK. The only one I've found in the US was an outfit that claimed to make backing tracks for Hollywood talent shows, but they charged something like $1000. Just a bit outside of my budget.

Everytime I meet someone in a band I inquire about thier interest in recording a track for money, but none of them ever show an interest.

Long before I was interested in making some of my own tracks I saw a couple of classified ads in a music magazine, advertising that they make backing tracks for solo performers,but I don't recall the details.

Hopefully once I get Christmas paid off I'll be back in the search as well, so I'll watch this thread.

Thanks for the prompt reply fellas. I'm not looking for country karaoke tracks, I'm after a studio which will make custom tracks for a reasonable fee. I've got a few arrangements I used to do with my band years ago and it would be nice to have the backing tracks made. A few companys over here sell custom tracks but they are being made on your side of the pond. I just wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction.

I some times find backing tracks here http://www.guitarbt.com/index.php

They are really for guitar players which is what I use them for but you may find other leads from here.

If it's your own music then it might be better off either trying to get the band you played with to go into a studio to record or maybe try to do it all yourself with a programmable drum machine & a decent multi track recorder?

Custom backing tracks have the problem with copyright infringement.
You still have to buy the right to use the music no matter how you get it
recorded when you use it to perform.
