JamTracks – Our Unique Spin on Backing Tracks
Our JamTracks take backing tracks to another level. You can use our website or app to easily make custom backing track mixes – e.g. to hear just one part as you learn it, to mute that one part to play along with the band, to slow down playback for practice while building up your speed, to change pitch/key up or down, and to record yourself in high-quality audio and video playing or singing with the backing track to share with family and friends.

What Makes Our Backing Tracks Awesome?
Huge, High Quality Backing Track Catalog
JamKazam offers a catalog of 9,000+ backing tracks. We carefully curate each backing track for quality, and every one includes fully isolated tracks for each part of the music – e.g. lead vocal, backing vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, keys, bass, drums, etc. This gives you complete creative control over every aspect of the music and how you want to use it for learning, practice, recording, mixing, and other creative endeavors.Solo, Mute, Pan or Set Level on Any Part
When learning to play a part, it’s incredibly valuable to be able to hear just one part in isolation. Once you’ve learned your part, you can turn around and mute just that one part of the backing track, and then play along with the rest of the band. Or if you prefer, you can turn that part down low but keep it around as a subtle hint. Or pan the recorded track into your left ear while your live performance is panned into your right ear. You are in control.Make Custom Mixes
When you’ve customized your backing track mix, you can easily save your custom mixes to use them again later without having to recreate them. Your custom mixes are saved to the JamKazam cloud, so you can access them from almost any Internet-connected device. If you want to use your mixes outside the JamKazam website or app, you can also export custom mixes as a simple .mp3, .wav, or .ogg audio files to use anywhere.Slow Down Backing Track For Practice
You can easily slow down playback of your backing track by a specific % without changing pitch, so the song still sounds “right”, just slower. This is great for building your technique on tougher sections while gradually increasing tempo. You can also make backing tracks play faster if you want to hit the jets.
Change Backing Track Pitch/Key
If you’re a singer and you need to bring the song down into your vocal range, or if you’re an instrumentalist and want to change the piece to a different key, you can change the pitch of any backing track up or down by a specified number of semitones (half steps).
Make & Share Recordings
Use the JamKazam app to make either audio-only or video + audio recordings of yourself playing or singing along with your backing track. The app captures video from built-in or external webcams and combines this video with the audio of the backing track mixed with your live performance into a single integrated video, delivering far higher audio quality than a smartphone recording.
Download the Parts of the Backing Track
If you want to use the individual parts of the backing track outside the JamKazam website or app, you can also download all the individual parts (e.g. lead vocal, drums, bass, etc.) to your computer to use in a DAW (digital audio workstation) or other apps for creating remixes, etc.
Use Plugins with Backing Tracks
The free JamKazam app lets you easily apply VST & AU plugins to your live performance, mixed together seamlessly with your backing track. For example, guitarists can apply popular amp sims like AmpliTube to get just the right guitar tone to match the song, and vocalists can apply effects like reverb or pitch correction.
Use MIDI Instruments with Backing Tracks
The free JamKazam app also lets you use MIDI instruments and mix and record this instrumental audio with backing tracks. For example, keys players can use MIDI keyboard controllers with plugins to generate traditional piano sounds, Rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ, and other classic keys tones. And drummers who use electronic kits can use their favorite plugins to power their percussive audio.
