Performing live or on TV? We export a performance track, your instrumental with the backing vocals kept in, so you sing lead over a full, polished backing.
★ Instrumental plus backing vocals · live and TV ready · per song
A performance track is your song without the lead vocal, but with the backing vocals and full music kept in. It gives you a rich, polished backing to sing your lead over live.
It is the version you want for shows, TV appearances and live sessions, where a bare instrumental feels empty but the full song leaves no room to perform. This sits right in the middle.
We export it from your finished, mixed and mastered session so it sounds every bit as good as the release. Just need a plain instrumental instead? See the Instrumental Export.
Because the backing vocals and harmonies stay in, the track carries the same weight the crowd hears on the record, so your live lead never feels exposed over an empty beat. It is delivered as a mastered WAV at performance level, which means it plays back loud and clear through a PA or a broadcast desk without extra processing on the night.
The full production with backing vocals and ad libs kept in, lead vocal removed, so you carry the song and the track carries everything else.
Mastered to sit at the same loudness as your release, so a sound engineer can drop it into a set without rebalancing the whole show.
WAV and MP3. Tell us the sample rate your playback rig or the broadcaster expects and we match it.
A performance track is what you actually want on stage. A bare instrumental leaves you exposed on every harmony and ad lib the audience knows from the record, and singing over the full master means competing with your own recorded voice.
Keeping the backing vocals in solves both. The hooks and stacks are still there holding the song up, the crowd hears what they expect, and the lead is yours to sing live.
It is what TV and showcase bookers usually ask for, what most touring artists run from the playback rig, and what makes a one-person set sound like a full production.
If we mixed the song, nothing at all. We print it from the session and you tell us where the line sits.
If it was mixed elsewhere, we need stems, because the whole job is keeping some vocal layers and removing others. That is impossible from a stereo file where every vocal is already printed together.
Be specific about the split, since this is the one decision that makes or breaks the track. Doubles of the lead usually come out with it. Harmonies, stacks, chants and crowd vocals usually stay. Ad libs are personal: some artists want them in so the track feels full, others perform them live. Tell us which camp you are in.
Send 24-bit WAV or AIFF stems, all starting at the same timestamp, clearly named so we can tell a harmony from a lead double without guessing.
Alongside your mix or master, or on its own for a finished song.
Tell us what stays and what goes: doubles, harmonies, ad libs, chants.
Bounced from the session and mastered to your release level.
Download from your dashboard in the format your playback rig expects.
Added to a mix or master, it arrives with the finished song. Ask in chat for timing on a standalone job.
Within the scope of your order. The split is the usual revision and it is a quick reprint.
Add a rush order, which is common when a show or a TV slot lands at short notice.
An instrumental is music only. A performance track keeps the backing vocals and ad libs, so you sing the lead over a full-sounding production.
Yes, and you should. Tell us what to do with lead doubles, harmonies, stacks, chants and ad libs, and we print it to your call.
Not reliably. Keeping some vocal layers while removing others needs stems. With only a stereo file, an instrumental is the realistic option.
WAV and MP3 as standard. If your playback rig or a broadcaster wants a specific sample rate, tell us and we deliver it that way.
Yes, it is level matched so it can go straight into a set or a broadcast without rebalancing.
Usually, yes. Most want the lead sung live over a full backing, which is exactly what this is.
Yes, it is priced per song. Most artists start with the singles and the songs that open and close the set.
Say so and we reprint it. That counts as a revision within your order.
