Hey guys...kinda curious here...reading about all those wonderful backing tracks some have made and with great results I might add.I was wondering..in the past I've had the opportunity to work with a little machine called a "voice killer".It's purpose was to take an original recording
of a song and "take out" the lead vocal in it so you could fill this in yourself,kinda like the BT people use to fill in their own lead guitar part.
So now here's the bottom line...maybe this also could be done somehow with some kind of hard/software to achieve the same results for making
backing tracks for let's say our mutual love for the Shads tunes?The way I see it is you could have the original Shads tracks but then without Hank's
lead so you can fill in the lead guitar part yourself...
It's not sacrilige as some purists might want to say but imo just an easier way of achieving the ORIGINAL Shads backing.I've heard some people
actually using some original material from the Shads by recording left or right,depending on where the drums,rhythm guitar and bass are,and then
finally switch to mono for the end result...and there you have it..an original Shads BT played by the Shads themselves..
Maybe some thoughts to dwell on?? Let's hear some!!
Cheers,
Ernie
