Backing tracks for Amplitube 5

[ZR1SydZeus]

What’s going on guys, I’ve run into a frustrating scenario with trying to use backing tracks in Amplitube 5. I did some research on how to input a backing track by dragging the media file into one of the tracks on the recorder. Problem is when I play the track it sounds horrible. It’s not clear sounding, distorted etc. I reached out to support and they said they plugged the track and it worked fine and sounded fine. I showed them my midi settings and that was it. Never got it resolved. They sent me the portion of the manual on how to input tracks but that doesn’t help. If anyone can help me out I’d appreciate it.

Sounds like the FX button is enabled on the track you dragged the backing track onto. That button will apply your AmpliTube chain to the track which you do not want to do for backing tracks and such.

That makes sense. I’m new to this. Where would the fx button be located?

Sorry I was using older wording, it is the "AmpliTube" button. In the Recorder section you should see the word "AmpliTube" with a power button next to it on the left side when you select a track. You can turn that on or off. Thanks!

Yup that was it!!! Thank you. I wish support could have just said that.
