"As long as they do it well" What he said.

The majority of professional bands use backing tracks in part or all of their shows. All that stuff Rick said was nothing new to me.

I think the first place I really listened to this was in Tucson. Andy Timmons was doing demos for Messa Boogie and playing to his albums with the guitar part removed. Andy was running Pro Tools on a laptop. My interest at the time was to take on stage studio effects we could not produce live so the live stuff sounded like the record.

We always use a click track in the studio. Using backing tracks with a live drummer requires a drummer who can play to a click track.

I think backing tracks enhance the music when well done.
