Answer

I'm a big fan of jam tracks. I've gone to the studio with a band and laid down multiple tracks before. Sometimes I'll just have them over at my studio and record them one by one for a special project (I have a small studio, but with pro tools I can multitrack). For this site I contracted with Peter Schmidt and used his jam tracks (http://www.peteschmidt.com/petemusjam.html). Here is a list of good jam tracks...
