As for using a midi backup or MP3,I was told the arranger or people
who made recording (?) owns the rights which is why I want to do it
on my own. As a last resort I might have to ask someone
to do it for me although I'd much prefer to do it myself.



I can’t offer legal advice, but I will say that it doesn’t matter who records a cover of the song, … whether it’s you or someone else, … they must have legal permission to do so. Other legalities also apply.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm now listening to the MP3 you recommended and it is outstanding. Do you think it's possible for BIAB to do the background as well as it is on this tune?



No, I don’t. Those are studio musicians playing a specific song from sheet music for that song. Even if a computer program could replicate it, the same legal ramifications would apply.

I was simply pointing you to a possible source for your own use and edification.
