So I found Paris Music, because the biggest and most popular site for multi track backing tracks, didn’t have the songs I happened to be looking for. That site produces very high quality tracks and sells them for £1.99 each. So straight away the first negative is the cost. I paid £18 for a track that would usually cost me £1.99! Secondly there seems to be an expiry date. Expiry?! You charge THAT much and can’t even host the purchase forever? The tracks themselves I would give four stars. They are very high quality and yes, compared with this other site they are in WAV format and not MP3. However, there is no guide vocal provided. Previewing a track before you pay is also very limited as you can only play the full track. You are buying a multi stem backing track, but you cannot preview each instrument separately. The final negative is the delivery of your tracks after you purchase. You have to wait for an email with a link to your tracks. I waited over 30 minutes once! This may seem petty but when you’re used to your tracks immediately appearing in your list of purchased tracks, this is annoying and unnecessary. No doubt this site will continue to operate in this way, but I will only ever use them as a last resort. I’ve paid for well over 400 tracks on the other site, which would have cost me over £7000 on Paris Music, as opposed to less than £800.
