Backing tracks are an essential production component for all types of creative projects. Podcasters use them for intro songs, YouTube creators use them in videos to match B-roll footage, and artists use them to bring more depth to their work.
They add a layer of complexity and texture to music, filling in the gaps for a richer production and a sound that feels well-rounded. Backing tracks allow solo artists to emulate the elements of a full band, giving them more creative direction and control over their projects and live performances.
Backing tracks add value to your music projects by drawing the audience deeper into your production, immersing them in the creative experience. It doesn’t matter what genre you operate in or what content you produce, backing tracks are a must if you want to present a professional piece of content that people want to consume.
Using AI to Make Backing Tracks for Your Projects
But how do you get your hands on backing tracks? Well, normally you’d go to a skills marketplace like Fiverr and find a creator operating in that niche. You’ll hire them to create your backing music and give them instructions. They’ll take a few days to put something together and then send it to you for review. You’ll make notes on the changes you need and keep going back and forth with the creator until you land on something that fits your project.
This process is a drag and takes forever. Not to mention the costs of hiring the creator, which can run into the hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. That’s why traditional music production is out of the hands of so many people—they either can’t afford it, or they don’t have the skillset for it.
But Artificial Intelligence is here to save the day. Next-generation AI music platforms offer you a way to create AI backing tracks with no previous experience, for a much lower cost than hiring a professional for the task.
Right now, you’re probably thinking, “But AI music? That’s all garbage that sounds like a computer bleeping.” Sure, we get you. Previous generations of this tech were clunky and produced mediocre projects. But today's advanced AI platforms deliver masterful projects, full of complexity, with post-production tools to help you fine-tune your track to your requirements.

It’s crazy how easy it is to kick things off. Just select your track length and tempo and then click on one of the genre thumbnails below.
The system pulls you into the editor and presents six auto-generated tracks for you to preview. Browse through each of them and see if you like how they sound. You can favorite the tracks to save them to your library if you want to work on them later.

If you want to change things up with your results, play around with the “genre, mood, theme, instrument, and tempo” tabs at the top, hit the “Generate” button, and you’ll get six fresh previews to peruse.
#4 Use the Mixer
When you finally have something you like, it’s time to push the post-production up a gear. When previewing the track, you’ll see a “Mixer” grid below the preview window. It maps out each section of the sound and shows you how it uses the five elements of each track to compose your piece.
You can change each of the five elements—melody, backing, bass, drums, and fills—by simply clicking on the grid. It’s that easy—we weren’t kidding when we told you this was going to blow your mind.
But it’s not over yet.
Check the five options below the grid. Use each of these elements to further refine your sound.
