Worship Backing Band
Worship Backing Band is produced by the folks at Musicademy, a part of a collection of worship music resources put out by the UK-based company. The current generation of their product is the Multitrack Pro Wav Player, and Worship Backing Band for IPad.
Content
While the player can import 3rd party content, most users use the large library of content of over 300 songs offered by Musicademy, including most of the CCLI top 100 songs, and Christmas songs. The standard format the these resources are:
- Click (shaker or natura, both providedl)
- Lead Vocals
- BGVs
- Acoustic Guitar
- Electric Guitars (2)
- Keyboards (2)
- Bass
- Drums
- Extras
- Vocal Cues
These are recorded by Musicademy in congregationally friendly keys delivered as WAV files for PC, and in compressed audio format for IPad. They also deliver one free track per month, typically a new song from their network of contributors. Chord charts are available for all songs. All WAV content can be used in other software applications easily. Tracks come with an Ableton project file so its easy to move between Worship Backing Band and Ableton, and the IPad version of each track uses the same open file formats used by Worshipsong Band.
