Up-Tempo Tracks For Your Melody and Lyrics

(March 8, 2007) — The creators of Drums On Demand® are pleased to introduce a second volume of My Co-Writer. This time it’s a collection of 16 mid- and up-tempo Song Starts™ appropriate for pop, country and rock compositions. Compatible with all Pro Tools® software, all you have to do is add lyrics and melody to these live, professionally produced backing tracks that provide a great foundation for your own composition. Available in stereo and multitrack WAV formats, it’s like having a secret collaborator serving up great songs for you to finish. Because they were specifically written and recorded with no signature hooks, they will inspire your own unique melody -- not dictate one. Plus, adding your own instrumentation or mix can make yours a totally unique production.
