Unleashing Your Musical Potential with NetTracks

A Deep Dive into NetTrack’s Innovative App – By Jude Young

The Australian government outlines that COVID-19 heavily disrupted the live music sector. There is an 80 per cent fall in the number of promoted events from 35,800 in 2019 to just 7,300 in 2020.

“Backtracks in music provide a reliable base for live performances, enriching the experience for artists and audiences. It enables intricate arrangements, accompaniments, and soundscapes that may be challenging to recreate using only live instruments,” says music enthusiast Flynn Lawson of YouTube To MP3—Australia’s most successful affiliate partner online.

Technology continues to redefine how musicians create, practice, and perform. One such revolutionary innovation is the NetTracks app, a tool that completely transformed the concept of backing tracks. 

Take a comprehensive look at the capabilities and benefits of this remarkable app:

NetTracks is an innovative app enabling musicians to choose backing tracks that fit their musical preferences, encompassing styles, tempos, and song structures. The app provides clear visibility in arrangements, including intro/outro lengths and form repetitions. 

NetTracks offers a sophisticated Musician Audio Player that allows users to control volume, stereo balance, fade endings, and start-ups, as well as alter the key and tempo of the backing tracks. This enhances their ability to deliver polished and captivating live performances. All this is done with audio from real artists—not MIDI tracks.

2. User-Friendly Interface And Seamless Integration

Navigating a complex app can be frustrating, especially when one’s focus should be on the music. NetTracks understands this and presents an intuitive interface that effortlessly guides musicians. The user-friendly controls ensure that even those less familiar with technology can access its features without impediments.

Furthermore, NetTracks seamlessly integrates with Apple devices, elevating the user experience to new heights. The compatibility with iOS devices creates a synergy, ensuring musicians can access their personalised backing tracks consistently across their devices. This integration enhances convenience and promotes a seamless transition from practice to performance.

Practising with a live band can be a transformative experience, yet it is only sometimes readily available. NetTracks bridges this gap by offering real-time accompaniment from recordings of real musicians, making it a wonderful experience for musicians and singers. It expands the possibilities for practising, improvising, and perfecting ensemble playing. 

4. Nurturing Musical Growth Through Exploration

Exploration is at the heart of musical evolution. NetTracks encourages musicians and singers to go beyond their comfort zones and embark on new musical journeys. The vast selection of backing tracks with the ability to customise them serves as a springboard for creativity.

Unlike traditional methods like CDs or downloads, the app’s streaming model grants musicians instant access to backing tracks, with various customisations possible. This approach reduces obstacles, allowing musicians to concentrate on their craft.
