Toto backing tracks

[EddieVanZ]

Hi guys. Yesterday fellow member Junior put up the link for some backingtracks.
I downloaded some in the evening, still have to check them (thanks Junior).
I was asking if someone of you got Toto's one and could post them (obviously without the infringement of any copyright). Is there any good soul who wants to share / tell me how to buy them ?
Maybe Lucious could help us with this one !!!

Ciao
Marco

would be mighty cool if there were some!!!!!

 

[Junior]

No problem man, that's why I'm here.

I only downloaded a few, they seem great.

Unfortunately, I don't have any Toto backing tracks, but since you're still dowloading some other ones, I wanted to point to to ZZ Top's Tush (with vocals), I love it!

Cheers.

(Will notify if I find any from Toto.)

Managed to find one - "Hold the Line"

Greg's MIDI and Tab. Free backing tracks and tablature. ...(BANDS L-Z)

...These are completely MIDI, so don't expect anything good-sounding.

Though, I did some drum tracks for Rosanna yesterday, I might do the whole thing in a certain period of time. I'll ask my friend to record the bass and keyboards.

...

Also, there's this site, check it out for more info. (This is non-downloadable)

CYBERMIDI.com ...Pro MIDI files and Backing Tracks for less!

Thanks Junior, you're lightning fast, dude....
I'll give Tush a try when i got back home (I'm one of the few luckies to work today at my site...).
Hope you find some more by then.... (White Sister, Georgy Porgy.....

Many thanks

No prob, guys.

I was just interested... how come Toto decided to switch the theme from "Hold the Line" from Em to F#m, while most of the bands would to the oposite?

Maybe it was a better key for the vocalist.

 

[Junior]

That's the problem, wouldn't most vocalists want to "downgrade" the key to a lower one?

Bobby Kimbal rocks.

Not necessarily. Maybe the song ventures into an upper octave of the 'lower' key that is in a weak area of the singer's voice.

Also, changing the key *can* change the 'mood' of a song. Believe it or not. Just as some folks can discern notes by ear (perfect pitch etc), some people experience different 'moods' (for lack of a better term) when something is played in various keys.

I know nothing about psychoacoustics or anything, but this is what my music theory teacher taught us, and he had a doctorate so I just believed him. He also told me that the fluroescent lights in our classroom hummed an out-of-tune D-flat. I took his word on that, too.

 

[Junior]

Thanks for the explanation.

I remeber once, when I was in a museum with my friend, and we walked up to this booth, and it was surrounded by these special lights, and I heard some real high frequency noise coming from them, he didn't hear a thing.

Then I thought

A) I must be going crazy.
B) Maybe I have "better" hearing than he does, that is, maybe I hear a wider freqency spectrum, since I have been more deeply involved with sound in the last 4 years than he does. (he doesn't do music)

And believe me, I'm not showing off or anything, I can just sence the difference in my hearing now and 4 years ago.
