How do I listen to a backing track demo?
To listen to a demo, input your track title in the search box on the left of the homepage screen (or select an artist), then click on the title of the required track. You can also click on the titles in the 'recently added' section on the homepage of the website. A demo 'play' button should appear together with details of the track. If you fail to hear the backing track demo playing, please use an alternative browser or device, as this is likely to be a browser-compatibility issue. (Chrome browser users: In some cases Flash player may need to be enabled to hear playback of demos. Type chrome://settings/content into the browser address bar. Click 'allow' and add the website www.stevestrax.com to enable playback.
How do I download the tracks from the supplied download link?
Downloading Received Tracks
1. Click the 'View Files' box in the email notification that you have received (you may need to choose to display images and links, depending on your email and security settings). This will take you to the download website (Hightail).
2. On the download page, click on the 'Download All' box, or select the download icon at the side of each file to download individually.
MP3 purchases are supplied via a secure download link, and are available to download as often as required after initial purchase. Please ensure the email link has not been redirected to your alternative mail folders (spam, deleted etc.) Tracks and lyric sheets can be downloaded individually or as a contained .zip file. Please keep in mind that when downloading a zipped file, you will need to extract the tracks from the zipped folder once downloaded. The majority of devices/browsers incorporate a program that will automatically unzip the folder.
Transferring MP3 tracks to an Apple device (iPad/iPhone etc.).
As Apple products do not use a standard file/folder system, it may be necessary to either download the tracks to a laptop or PC and then sync both devices using iTunes, or alternatively transfer the tracks to an online storage facility (Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive etc.) and download directly from there to your Apple device.
Should you have any problems downloading, please visit the following link for further instructions: Downloading A File
I cannot find my download link?
Please check all your email folders (including spam, deleted, junk) before contacting us to re-send.
Can I choose the key of the backing track?
Available key changes are listed underneath the title of each track on the demo player screen. Please click (or double-click) on the track title to see the demo player and track details. Additional information for ordering tracks in alternative keys is provided on the website homepage.
Although we do not charge extra for providing a song in an alternative key, if you require the song in more than one key each track is classed as an individual purchase and is subject to an individual charge (i.e. if you require a song in both the key of C and Bb, please ensure an order is placed for two tracks).
I would like lead/rhythm guitars, instruments or backing vocals removed. Is this possible?
I'm afraid we are unable to remove guitars, instruments or backing vocals from our existing backing tracks.
How are the remixed tracks arranged?
All remix versions provided by Steve's Trax are produced for vocalists. These are arranged and edited to ensure there are no unnecessarily long instrumental breaks and are provided with corresponding lyric sheets which follow the track comprehensively from start to finish.
The track I'm looking for is not in your catalogue, can you provide it?
If the track you are looking for does not appear in our online catalogue we will consider producing it, subject to popularity and licensing permission. Once produced, the track will be added to our catalogue and will be the same price as all other tracks. To enquire about non-catalogue tracks, please contact us at
I need one version in MP3 format and one version on CD - is there a charge for each?
Yes, each format required (MP3 or CD) is charged seperately and a new order should be placed for each format.
Are you able to remove vocals from an original CD?
We are unable to remove vocals from an original CD (there is no current product available that performs this task effectively).
Are you able to remove backing vocals that already exist on a backing track?
I'm afraid that there is no successful way of removing vocals from either a commercial release or a backing track.
Can I copy or duplicate the tracks?
All backing tracks supplied by Steve's Trax are subject to legal copyright restrictions, and a licensing fee has been paid for each supplied track. This ensures that the relevant royalty fees are paid to the original artists/producers. Restrictions include that recordings purchased from Steve's Trax must not be sold, hired, lent or duplicated without express permission from us. We do however allow the purchaser to make a backup copy for their own personal use. In most cases, permission is granted for artists to add their own vocals; enabling CD's to be sold at gigs etc. Please contact us for confirmation.
Can you change the key of my own MP3 backing tracks?
Yes, we can transpose your own track/s a maximum of 2 keys higher or lower than the current key.
What we do: the track is transposed using our own in-studio transposition equipment. Often a track will exhibit different characteristics when the key is changed, therefore we check to make sure there are no unwanted new high frequencies in the transposed track, using a limiter if necessary (this ensures any new frequencies will not cause clipping and damage your PA speakers). We'll even increase/decrease the blank space at the beginning of the track if you have a preference (just let us know how many seconds you require). The cost for this service is £1.99 per track. To use this service please email the MP3 track/s to
*Please note: key change quality is specific to individual tracks. MP3 backing tracks that comprise few or no backing vocals generally transpose better than those with lots of BV's. A track that's supplied in its original recorded key generally transposes better than one which has already been changed to an alternative key. The key change does not affect the original tempo of the track - this remains the same.
