Are you trying to convince your band to use tracks? Here’s a difference approach you can take.
I get it. You’ve seen the light. You want your band to use tracks. It’s going to improve your sound, make it easier to perform on stage, but you can’t get the rest of your band on board.
I’ve been there. I’ve coached students that are there (or have been there). We can address every objection your bandmates may have…but sometimes you’ve got to take a different approach.
In today’s episode of Behind the Space Bar I share what that approach is, and when it’s the right time to take it!

Wow thank you so much for your in depth look on this! It's definitely not an easy subject to approach. For me personally, one of the reasons I started focusing more on production and less on live performance was because I felt like most bands that I've been a part of did not have the same vision of success as myself just as you mentioned you had gone through. It's hard to be in that place between "yeah that show sounded good" to "that show sounded dynamic, planned, and we executed it to the best of our abilities" In the studio it feels lot easier to craft things to a higher standard and figure out the performance aspect down the line. Most bands default to just practicing enough (and getting along enough lol) to where everyone knows their parts but that is only a small sliver of what it takes to be a professional. The hard conversation is when people are actively in denial about what they want. Many will claim they want to be a professional without wanting to look into things such as backing tracks, upgrading to IEMs, etc. It would also be unwise to suggest that every band out of the gate should sink money into things before even having good music to perform in the first place, but once you've been at a for a year a more without changing your approach how hard are you really trying? Thanks again and you've more than earned my subscription!

It’s definitely a weirdly polarizing topic, but I seriously love playing with tracks. It makes me feel like I have much more freedom to play around and flow because there’s always a backbone to follow. Plus you could always have certain sections of shows programmed with tracks and others without tracks. All about balance!
