Who is looking for music without lyrics and why?
Some people look for background music that they can sing along to, usually songs that they are familiar with. There are three types of music without words that come to mind and satisfy this need.
1.) Karaoke – Usually comes on a CD or DVD, where the background music is played while the lyrics are displayed, along with a video of an arbitrary stage.
The lyrics are usually highlighted at the right time to be sung. While this form of lyrics-less music is great for parties and pubs, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to serious vocal performances.
Technically speaking, it’s actually music with lyrics, but the music and lyrics have been separated so you can sing along.
2.) Backing Tracks – These are sometimes called “Backtracks”. Professional backing tracks are a step up from karaoke tracks, however they do not display lyrics on a screen.
Professional backing tracks should contain as much live instrumentation as possible, or else include sound samples that are a very convincing substitute. You’ll find that many quality backing tracks will only be available on audio CD or in mp3 format. The reason for this is that many expensive audio samples and live recordings are used in this type of music without lyrics, making each backing track a unique production that can only be properly played on the engineers’ own equipment. study or as a final version. audio mix down.
3.) Midi – Midi is short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” I’m sure you are familiar with the term “Midi file”. This is a music file that contains note information as if played on a keyboard (not a computer keyboard).
All of a song’s instrumentation can be played through a computer sound card or other external keyboard sound modules.
Although midi is widely used in recording studios, getting a midi file to sing along to is probably the worst option when looking for music without lyrics to complement your vocal talents.
The audio samples used in general midi playback lack the tonal nuances that make up a convincing instrumental performance.
A brief summary of these three types of music without lyrics and their best uses
1.) Karaoke – Great for pubs and home entertainment.
2.) Backing Tracks – For serious vocal performers.
3.) Midi – Great for one- or two-man bands who can complement fake-sounding instruments with real ones live.
Other forms of music without words.
I mention them only for the sake of completeness, but since they are so obvious, I will keep them short.
Classical music, instrumental music (some people confuse it with backing tracks), trance music, and healing music, which should also be music without lyrics or drums.
I hope this gives you a clearer idea of what to look for in music without lyrics.
