 orchestra backing tracks for recording clarinet
Author: Wookie001

Does someone here know good sources to get orchestra backing tracks I could use with Logic Pro for example, so I can make own recordings of clarinet concertos, or pieces with clarinet and piano?

Hi,

When I do things like that I get the full score pdf online and process it as follows:

import into photoscore ultimate
export to MusicXML format
import into Dorico or Siblius or similar
delete whatever part I want to play
Audio export what's left.

Play the exported mp3 on my pc while I play along and record myself with a camera.

Hope that helps.

The old Music Minus One records? They had backround for solos & orchestral excerpts. Someone said they still exist (?) in digital?

Someone had posted about a year ago about another service that had a bunch of ensemble backup tracks. There were only a few that sounded decent though. I think the Mozart Concerto was one of them. The others had a heavy electric piano patch twang to them.

Inexpensive piano accompaniment (and a source of tons of clarinet music as well):

Music Minus One- a bit "hit and miss", some of them are fine (Spohr 1st concerto, Stamitz Bb major concerto) but others pretty awful, plus the transfer from LP to CD hasn't always been done well.
It's a lot easier to find piano backing tracks (many are on youtube for free, have to be careful though if using for performance/exams etc as the odd wrong note sneaks through)
In Germany I found a bunch that were quite good, published by Edition Peters, including a good Mozart K622 (you used to be able to get this with the EP music + CD, OR on its own- just the CD). The Mozart concerto includes a version for Bb clarinet as well as the original key. The problem with these is that they are at a higher pitch, which doesn't seem like such a problem- who doesn't pay sharp now and then!!!!! But actually, it's not ideal. Send me an email and I can send you a MP3 of one of the tracks so you can try it out.

Changing the pitch of a backing track is pretty straightforward these days - e.g. using the (free) Audacity app.

Or consider The Amazing Slow Downer from https://www.ronimusic.com/ which allows you to change the pitch or the speed or both. A free trial is available but the product is not free.
