An accompaniment Trax, CD, track or tape is basically a recording that provides a full accompaniment for an anthem, cantata / musical, choral collection or soloist. Accompaniment tracks may be either Split Trax, Stereo Trax or both.

A split trax is a normal stereo recording, playable on an audio system that has some means to adjust the levels coming from the left and right channels. On one channel, the recording has the complete accompaniment playing - a full instrumentation. On the other channel, is all the choral vocals (without solos).

Stereo Trax - A Stereo Trax accompaniment recording is contains only the instrumental accompaniment parts, without vocals.

Stereo / Split Trax - A Split/Stereo accompaniment recording contains the entire piece (anthem, musical or choral songbook) twice: once in Split Trax format, once in Stereo format.
