One thing I’d love to do is be able to create back tracks to download to my Boss looper. With Transcribe I can strip a song I have bought down to Instrumentals, Drums, and vocals, but what I’d love to do is be able to remove the coals and/or remove the lead guitar. What do y’all use for that? I think Phil did something like that with Crossroads last open mic, and I’d love to be able to do that with some other songs
I use Moises app, based on recommendation from this community. I think a few people use it.
Thanks. I couldn’t remember what it was called. Just new it sounded like Moses
Nah, he used a backing track from https://www.karaoke-version.com/
There you can create a custom version of a backing track, including whichever instruments you like.
Still no idea why the backing track was inaudible during the performance though - dunno what went wrong there!
You can do this with Audacity. Its shareware and It’s been around forever. It is regularly updated there is a large.community and a lot of plug ins. Some free, some paid, but mostly free.
Another Moises user here. I’ve used it a lot with my acoustic guitar for playing along to original recordings and having the ability to tweak various aspects to fit better alongside the acoustic guitar.
I found it particularly useful as a tool for someone beginning to learn to play along with original recordings as it suggests chords and has tools like a smart metronome that it can play over the track, as well as visual cues to help stay in time. It can pitch shift and suggest chords for a capo. Some of these features are part of a subscription but for me it was (and still is) well worth the money.
There likely to be other options as its been discussed many times in the past.
Try dropping Backing Track into the search option top right.
Plus one from me on KV.com

It’s an evolving landscape and what has been said in the past isn’t necessarily true today. For example, there’s many new features in Moises that didn’t exist 18 months ago. The iPad app has gone from lacking functionality available on other platforms to probably their most advanced version now. It’s equally possible that that some previous options have gone away or gone behind a paywall
Agreed
Many such backing tracks can be found on YouTube. Use something such as Mediahuman to capture the audio to MP3?
Although I tend to use karaoke-version when I need something particular.
I use stemroller. totally free, runs locally.
I have not found anything that can isolate lead vs rhythm guitar parts. Is there anything?
You can assign lead to a different stem on RipX
Moises has had this feature for several months now.
I have a paid subscription - I don’t know if it’s available on the free subscription.
