Which Track Product Is Right For Me?

M4A/Wav, AppTrack, CustomMix, or Accompaniment track? Which is best for you?

Written by Ricky Sutanto

The songs in our expansive catalog come in four different 'backing track' products. All of them offer different levels of customization to fit specific needs. This guide can help you discover which version of the tracks are right for you. We also offer different subscriptions and products. Learn more here.

Intro Information:

  • All four types of track products can be used natively in the Playback app at no extra cost or work.

  • All track product purchases can be 'upgraded' to the higher track product by paying the difference in price. So if you purchase an Accompaniment Track, and then realize later on you'd like the AppTrack, you can upgrade the song to the AppTrack for just the difference in cost!


Products

Multitrack WAV/M4A:

(~$35/35* credits(M4A) or ~$39/39* credits(Wav) per track)

M4A and WAV File Multitracks are the original mastered stems that can be downloaded and used in any multitrack audio software. The M4A and WAV options are two different file formats that the tracks are available in. Most Multitracks are available in all 12 keys. (Note: These can be used natively in the Playback app*)

MultiTrack Wav and M4A products can be found under the "Download" bullet point on the "MultiTracks" tab of any song's page.
*Purchasing the MultiTrack WAV or M4A product includes the "App Track" to use in Playback at no additional cost.

AppTrack:

(~$29* or ~29* credits per track)

Stems from the original master recording that can be downloaded and used only in the Playback app. Most AppTracks are available in all 12 keys and all available keys are included in the purchase.

CustomMix:

(~$12* or ~12* Credits per track)

A custom stereo backing track that you mix prior to download. Individual instruments and vocals (when vocal tracks are present) can be muted, or turned down to build your own specific mix (for example, a track with only background vocals, or with specific instruments removed). Most tracks are available in all 12 keys, but the CustomMix download only includes one key that you choose. You can transpose a CustomMix to all 12 keys in Playback for free, or unlock all 12 keys for a CustomMix by getting Cloud Pro.

Accompaniment Track:

(~$8* or ~8 Credits per track)

The original master recording without Lead Vocals — every other instrument from the original song is always included and cannot be removed or muted. Accompaniment tracks are only available in the original key and the two neighboring keys (One step up and one step down). The download includes the three keys; each key including a track with background vocals and a track without background vocals. These are the only two variations available. If you want a mix with any other individual instruments muted or isolated (for example, only background vocals with everything else silent), you'll need a CustomMix instead.

Playback Rentals:

(Starting at ~$59.99* for 16 AppTracks every month)
A monthly subscription to use weekly-rented AppTracks in the Playback app.

*Prices are estimated examples and are subject to change. For most up-to-date and accurate pricing information, see the specific song page, or pricing page on MultiTracks.com.
