Available on the Apple Mac App Store and the Apple iPhone and iPad App Stores; coming soon to the Apple TV App Stores.

Enjoy playing along to these great musician’s backing tracks!  These arrangements fit your songs and are created from high-quality recordings of top artists and come with all the metadata and controls to make playing along a joy.

You can also load your own backing tracks, either from iTunes or straight from files, and enjoy NetTrack’s musician’s backing track audio player; Tracks straight from NetTracks give the best experience.

Fixing Backing Tracks!

Backing tracks are so much fun, but that fun turns sour when too much time is spent –

  • Shopping around for them
  • Loading to mobile devices
  • Noting down the arrangement details
  • Keeping tracked organised into setlists

NetTracks brings together all of this and more in one app where you quickly download and manage backing tracks.  Arrangements are always visible, and the app has a marvellous play-along audio player.  Less hassle; more time just playing along.

Why Rhythm Backing Tracks?

As musicians, we like playing along to great songs.  Some do this with the original artists’ recordings; Others use full-harmony backing tracks with rhythm, baselines and chords.  If you play a chordal instrument, like a guitar or a piano, you might like to use a rhythm-only backing track that has been arranged for the song.   It’s fun; it helps keep in the groove and stick to the song’s form.  Loved by beginning and experienced improvisers alike.
