How Karaoke Tracks are made


Have you ever wondered why Pocket Songs karaoke tracks sound so much like the original songs? How do we do it? The answer is: great music producers, top-notch musicians, and ultra-critical ears.

When Pocket Songs decides to make a karaoke version of a song, we use one of our in-house music producers to start copying the original song note-for-note. We use the same music key, tempo (music speed), and recording techniques of the original. We have karaoke music specialists that are experts in different genres of music: pop/rock, R&B, Country, Broadway & Film – we do it all! We then hire professional musicians and singers to perform the song as close to the original as possible. For example, most of our Frank Sinatra karaoke CDG are recorded with a full big band!

Two versions of each song are recorded: one with the lead vocals (“guide tracks”), and one with only background music and no lead vocals. That’s what we have 2 lines of products: PSCDG’s have both versions of each song on the CD, and JTG’s only include the background music.

Pocket Songs takes great pride in the quality of their karaoke backing tracks, and don’t release it until it meets our exacting standards. That’s why when you buy karaoke from Pocket Songs, it’s like singing with the original band. You take center stage with Pocket Songs!
