If you have backing tracks made by you in any format (sgu, audio or video…) you can share them. As an example, +++ here is +++ a video created by Hans featuring a song by George Harrison, “My Sweet Lord.” The entire backing track was crafted using Biab 2023 and the collaborative efforts of TheRossie58.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I hate to be the one who quotes Forum Rules but best you correct it before an Admin does. Quote: 9. Posting (or requesting) links to songs, music or other copyrighted material is forbidden. You are allowed to post links to your own original songs.

I don't believe backing tracks (there are no melodies) infringe on copyrights.

The links I provided are to a Facebook forum post and YouTube video. I don't believe backing tracks (there are no melodies) infringe on copyrights. I can write a very long post explaining why that is not correct. The short version is that arrangements of copyrighted songs belong to the rights holders, not the person who created them—even if no melodies are present unless there's a written arrangement with the publisher granting such rights. Even then, Rule 9 would apply.
