Backing Tracks from Acoustic Backs And Tracks - FAQs
At Acoustic Backs & Tracks (AB&T), we’re passionate about helping singers, musicians, and performers deliver their best performances. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, a gig, or a social media showcase, our backing tracks are designed to give your voice and artistry the spotlight it deserves.
We often get asked questions about how our tracks can be used, licensing rules, and what makes our acoustic and piano tracks unique. To make things easier, we’ve put together this FAQ guide to answer the most common queries.
Backing Tracks for Social Media
Can I use backing tracks to perform on social media?
Yes! You can use AB&T backing tracks to perform on social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. They’re perfect for creating engaging videos and connecting with your audience.
Can I monetise my social media videos with backing tracks?
Yes, you can share and monetise content featuring our tracks, but keep in mind that platforms may detect the original song composition and distribute royalties accordingly.
Backing Tracks for Live Performances
Can I use backing tracks to perform live?
Yes—as long as the venue or event has the correct license for public performance (such as PRS/PPL in the UK or the equivalent in your country). This ensures that the original songwriters and rights holders are properly compensated.
Can I use backing tracks at weddings and private events?
Absolutely. Weddings, ceremonies, and private parties are some of the most popular uses for our acoustic and piano tracks.
Recording with Backing Tracks
Can I record my vocals on the backing tracks?
Definitely! Many singers use our tracks for auditions, demo recordings, and personal projects. Adding vocals gives another dimension and allows you to make the track uniquely yours.
Can I upload my version to Spotify or streaming platforms?
Only if you’ve purchased a custom artist version from AB&T. Our standard tracks are licensed for personal use and performance, but not for commercial release.
Customisation and Keys
Can I download a backing track in an alternative key?
No. Because our tracks are recorded live with acoustic instruments, a new key requires a fresh recording. We’re happy to create custom versions for you in the key and tempo you need.
Do you offer custom backing tracks?
Yes. From unique arrangements to personalised first-dance versions, we can create tracks tailored to your performance or event.
Licensing and Artist Compensation
Are the original recording artists compensated when I purchase a backing track?
Yes. AB&T pays a yearly license fee that covers downloads. This fee is distributed to the original artists and rights holders, ensuring fair compensation.
Do I need to buy a license separately?
No. When you purchase a track from us, our licensing covers your personal and performance use (excluding commercial releases like Spotify uploads, unless custom). For live public shows, the venue must hold the performance license.
