I have a student working on fiddle songs from the Fiddler’s Philharmonic book. The book includes practice tracks and recoding but I wanted to have a background accompaniment track without the melody. I figure I could create one by recording myself playing bass and guitar. Time for the Tascam!

I first recorded a track of the CD accompaniment. I cloned the track to have a backup. I then edited out the beginning where it announces the track name but left in the count in.

Then I recorded myself playing guitar along with the original accompaniment and then overdubbed a bass line. I didn’t want the original but I did want the count in. So I cut out everything on the original except the count in.

Everything sounded good so I mixdown a master and recorded it to a computer with Amadeus Pro, saved it as an MP3 and emailed the file to my student.

All of this in 20 minutes!!!!
