Now for the legalities---
1) Don't know how the publishers would feel about this though, because you don't have a sync license to do such a thing.
2) Are you adding to or enhancing a previously copyrighted work?
3) Is it for personal use or commercial use?

Where on the walmart site do they have instrumentals. All I can find is new-age stuff. I've hunted all over the internet for instrumental tracks for sale or to commission someone to do a few. All I've found is a few sites in the UK with few premade instrumentals I'm interested in and custom mades seem to START at about $80. (a little to rich for me right now).

I've made a few songs in KPRO with devocalized tracks and they are so-so OK, but I'd really like to do some professional quality stuff.
