Convert or duplicate lyrics only song?

jhipple86

id like to have 2 different versions of songs , one that i would use live with no backing tracks, and one that i use WITH backing tracks for practice at home. is there a way to do that without having to create completely different songs? its going to be very tedious to create 2 different songs for everything.

thanks!

jhipple86 it’s not a problem, use normal backing tracks method on stage and just don’t connect your audio out when using it silently. No need for two versions.

Hi, I make a separate copy, and use the same song title, but add 1AA after the lyric only one to differentiate between the 2. I use highlight text with the backing tracks version, and obviously you can get the tempo wrong when using without the backing and then the highlight will be on the wrong word..

hunterronno thats what im going to have to do. its tedious, but like you said, the highlight words would be off when i musted it for live performance and it would definitely throw me off.

Why not just mute the audio when you don't need it? I don't see a benefit in having two different songs just for the purpose of one playing audio and one not. When on a gig, just set the audio routing to "Disabled" or turn down your iPad volume or don't connect your iPad to the PA 😉

peter i like to highlight the lyrics on the backing track ones, and it would be confusing when the track is muted.
