Comments: Alan McPike is a truly talented individual. Not only a great pianist but a total musician with great sensitivity and his ability to work with us from the other side of the world and deliver a great album of backing for Mary Kiani's new album was
simply amazing. A brilliant guy - we highly recommend him !!!

I want to thank you once again for these wonderful tracks! There is nothing else like them available, and the audio quality is superb, especially when I fine that I need to change the key of the music in Waves SoundShifter.
Your tracks are the next best thing to hiring studio musicians.
Hi Alan
Firstly I want to say how much I love your arrangements and the fact that you offer big band tracks as the lovely trio style on many of your backing tracks.
You have covered such a vast amount of the jazz standards your site is my first port of call when looking for a backing track as they are always produced to such a high quality sound - I love them!!!

Comments or Kudos: Hi Alan. I have to say that I love your tracks, they are THE BEST on the internet. Most backing or karaoke tracks are boring and bland, but you really add flavor and fun to your arrangements and as a jazz singer I really appreciate it.
I love your background tracks!! I am a big fan of the standards and I could not believe how many I found on your site that I have been unable to find anywhere for years!! The tracks are very professional and great arrangements. I will definitely be purchasing more. In fact, I have a list. :-)
I use your arrangements all the time and I am very happy with them. I am just a hobby-singer but sometimes I sing for public and I have often had compliments on the quality of the tracks. So here I give them to you, the compliments I mean, and thank you for making those great tracks.

Comments or Kudos: I am more than loving the tracks I received today!
The musical arrangements are superior to any other I've found and the quality of the recording is crystal clear.
I couldn't be more pleased! Can't wait to order more!
You responded so quickly and then surprised me by personally attending to my order. I'm impressed!
Thank you so very much!
Comments: Hi Alan,
Thanks for your quick response, and for sending the complementary tracks. Wow, you are actually from Scotland. Your diverse musicality had me thinking that you were originally from London. Your humility comes through so beautifully. I say this, because of having shopped worldwide for backing tracks, your work overall, is second to none, in my humble opinion, especially your Jazz tracks.You have some subtleties in your beautiful piano playing and arrangements that really enhances the vocalist or instrumentalist that are privileged to use your exquisite files.

Comments or Kudos: As a starting out singer, I would just like to thank you for the awesome backing tracks that you have produced. With all the useless tracks I've had to plough through on other websites it is brilliant to find someone who creates the tracks that you do. Am currently working on L.O.V.E (Eb to E) and I'm learning buckets about how to sing as well as having a great backing track behind me! Thank you once again!
Comments or Kudos: I have used Standard Trax over the past several years and have never been disappointed in their customer work or their tracks to purchase. Alan's work is always the best and his arrangements of all his songs are five stars.
I found his custom tracks on most songs to be better than the originals. - Alan keep up the great work.

The custom tracks created for me by Alan were uniformly excellent. Work was done precisely to my standards and in an incredibly timely manner. Anyone with specific backing track needs should head straight to Alan - He da man!
My duo performs everything from the 40's to what is HOT today. I have well over 45.000 Tracks, CDG, MP3..... when we select a background track, we try to listen to all the tracks we have for a particular song, then we pick the best track for a live performance....We perform at venue's that cannot typically afford live musicians so many of the groups us the same "karaoke" song tracks.....My Duo, Voices Carry, features many background tracks by Alan Mcpike and your tracks have separated us from our competition, when we perform American Standards..... bravo....
Hi Alan
I just wanted to send a note to let you know how much we appreciate your work.
We have previously worked with a live rhythm section.
It has become troublesome to find competent players, and here in the heart of oil country demand for live music has increased.
Recently when we were struggling to find personnel for the band and came up short for a gig I suggested your site to the leader. Not wanting to turn down a job, he reluctantly agreed to give the tracks a try.
Saturday was our"maiden voyage". The General Manager of the hotel was so thrilled he booked us every week and we booked another gig in the bargain! Sincere thanks for your part in making that possible!
We'd like to be added to your waiting list for custom work. Thanks again!
Sincerely

Comments or Kudos: For the past 15 years, I have had the distinct privilege of singing along to a countless number of Alan's wonderfully unique arrangements. Alan's most recent version of "It's All in the Game" is amazing and says it all for me. I have attempted this tune many times over the years but was never satisfied. Alan's latest arrangement of this song now finds me getting complements from everyone. I could say the same thing about dozens more of Alan's selections. His latest GM version of Quando, Quando, Quando is the bomb. From the slower ballads to the uptempo swinging tunes, there is no doubt, Alan's got it going on. Each day I look forward to seeing what surprise is in store for me on Alan's website. Alan's music is heaven sent! With my deepest gratitude and thanks for the best backing tracks on the planet, Bob M.

Comments or Kudos: I was really struggling trying to find a backing track for my wedding (for me to walk down the aisle to). Alan was great - really quick service and the piece came out perfectly. I cannot wait for my friends and family to hear it. Thank you

I have bought more than 200 songs and my the quality of my backingtrack is not un noticed.As a result: 6 gigs a week now in wonderful restaurants playing mainly jazz standards with my tenorsax and vocals. Recently added some more modern arrangements too for the tourist season. More than satisfied! Great job Alan! Greetings from Spain, Johan

I am a seasoned performer/ writer/ producer and recently contacted Alan from StandardsTrax to re-do a backing for me of an original tune I wrote. First of all, Alan was so helpful and got straight onto the task. We communicated throughout the process as to what I required. The end result- a beautifully orchestrated arrangement of my song fully mixed and mastered. Also, individual stems sent and an overall excellent outcome. Price was very reasonable considering the time spent as Alan did more for me than was actually required. Top marks StandardTrax for a job well done.
