All backing tracks you find here on my website are productions from my own studio. For me this is not such a big thing to produce them because I have been a professional composer for TV, Movie and Broadcasting from the years 2003 - 2012. There I active produced tracks, teasers, comercial tracks for adds and things like that. I had many placements in Swiss national TV, in severel ABC shows like Ugly Betty, Orange is the new Black and other TV shows around the globe. So producing backing tracks is really an easy task for me since I know how to produce music in many genres and have the proper tools for that. I am using mainly Steinberg products : Nuendo 11 Groove Agent 5 Halion 6 Wavelab 11 Pro ( Mastering ) Waves Plug ins All Spectrasonic products Ivory Piano's and for guitars AXE FX III AXE FM 3 Godin Concerto Duo Steelstring guitars TL Audio Mic Preamp Newmann Microphon - TLM 105 i think and other software plugins occasionaly.... I have been ask to share more of my production secrets - so I think about it. There is in fact a department where I already did such videos for beginners of production. But I think I can do more of such videos. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/forum/82-compose-a-guitar-song/
