| How ORIGINAL do you want it? Studio masters for popular songs are, let's say, out of your price range. |

Generally you're not going to get a hold of original backing tracks unless you are some kind of music industry insider.
I did a search for Korean music labels and the only ones I can find online are the big ones. There must be some smaller labels out there you might be able to get to consider to listen to a demo. Don't think you're going to hand someone a CD and expect it to appear in stores unless you're planning on footing the bill yourself, and even then I have no idea how visa regulations would come into play.
If you want to pay for everything yourself I imagine there are some CD stamping places out there that will do up a batch for you. You could probably even just go around to some stores and give them a few copies to sell under the table like. Music store people are usually supportive of musicians.
Honestly though, you're living in the land of the incredibly cheap MP3 player. How many people do you see with CDs these days? I'd consider the Internet. If you're trying to reach a Korean audience, good luck. |

| i suggest recording the backing tracks yourself with a drum machine and a multi-track recorder... or find someone else's tracks online and download them... you're NOT going to find the original backing tracks for free... |

| I can only imagine the type of music you are trying to make if you want backing tracks. Look here, you can do it at home. Download Fruity Loops from the website for the free version or use a file sharing program (Soulseek, Limewire) and get the full version. It's like a drum machine for your PC. Plus it also has some preset synth stuff. You can make "techno" music with just that program alone. Studio time isn't that bad here really. If you writing punk rock/hardcore/metal or that type of stuff I could put you in-touch with Skunk Label. However, I doubt that's what you're into. If you play "shoegazer", or dreampop kinda stuff, just record it yourself at home and post it on Myspace. This is the technology age, take advantage of it and good luck. I know a guy who cut a hip-hop CD. Still has most of them. No one buy's CD's anymore. There are ways to record your music using your PC. You have to get the software, and a decent mic but it can be done. DIY! |

I doubt anything from the 30s, 40s and 50s even exists anymore. Recording technology was pretty sparse until the mid-sixties and the Beatles. Much of the stuff from those decades wasn't multi-tracked.
You might be able to find some old four track recordings from the sixties and be able to separate the tracks you want, but I wouldn't count on it. |

but the way technology is now im sure they have remastered all the tracks from the ole days and taken out the vocals for backing tracks for people to sing or record no?
I mean nat king cole, sinatra, elvis, all those huge hits must be re done..
there is such a huge demand , just like old movies. hollywood cleans them up, re master them, bring them out on blu ray etc.. even add color to them.. |

Nah, it's much easier to just redo the backing tracks.

Re-mastering largely means touching up the EQ, removing some noise and maybe adding some reverb or compression here and there. |

I agree with underwaterbob. Just get some studio time and hire some musicians. There are a lot of talented and well trained musicians that need a couple of extra bucks. An added bonus is you can edit the tracks to your taste. If you have the cash, this gives you a lot of flexibility. Make sure you are prepared. Have all the sheet music for each instrument and a recorded copy of the desired track. You may want to get a producer type person that can bridge the lingo gap between you, the muscians and the engineer. Makes things go faster and more efficient.
Good luck, I admire your gusto. |

I'm pretty sure they need the original master tapes to do that. Is there a device invented that takes a stereo recording and exactly removes only the vocal from the wave leaving notes hit at the same time in perfect condition? I doubt it. |

No. I hate that synth crap. You go on youtube to watch some guy show off his $2000 guitar, pedals, awesome amp, etc. and he's playing along to the cheeziest synthy backing track you've ever heard. WTF? |
