Integrated Digital Mixer

with 4 convenient potentiometers the musician can balance in real time what he wants to hear in headphones during the performance.
With the 6 outputs, the tracks that make up the Backing Tracks can be sent to the Stage Mixer.
From any source a Stereo or Mono audio signal can come back to B.Beat through the two inputs, in addition B.Beat recognizes the Click track and can channel it to any of the 6 available outputs and simultaneously to the Headphone output.

B.Beat on stage

B.Beat is designed to have maximum reliability during LIVE performances .
There is a special button on the [LIVE] panel that can be used the moment the Show starts because from that moment on, B.Beat's processor will be committed to maximum performance without wasting resources.
This minimizes the risk of unintentional Crash, and preserves the user from activating functions by mistake.

Organizing performance

B.Beat manages individual Backing Tracks that can be organized into convenient Playlists, or into real Shows composed of several Scenes of various types.
Projects can contain Music, Video and Images but also MIDI tracks to send messages to the various devices that are used for Live.
The philosophy behind B.Beat is to simplify the management of Backing tracks and Videos during a Show.
With B.Beat it is not necessary to bring to the stage Computers, Tablets, Sound and Video Cards, Cables, Mixers: B.Beat solves this issue in a few square Cm. and 600 gr. Weight.

Preparing B.Beat for the Show

Create your Backing Tracks with your Daw, and once you have finished your studio work you are ready to transfer the music to B.Beat. To do this an APP is included that is called B.Beat manager and runs on Win and Mac PCs. With the Manager you will assign outputs to the various tracks, and you can complete the editing by adjusting volumes as desired. If you have synchronized a video to the music you can upload it to B.Beat and manage it in conjunction with the Backing tracks, or you can manage videos and images untethered to the music.

Using B.Beat with USB stick

If you have Mp3 backing tracks that you want to simply upload to B.Beat without going through the PC you can use the USB stick and very quickly transfer the files to the internal memory, or you can play them directly from the stick.

Metronome and Click

B.Beat has a dedicated Metronome session.
You can very easily manage a metronome directly on stage.
The audio Click of the metronome can go out on one of the 6 outputs, and at the same time it will go to the Drummer's headphones.
The same thing happens with the Click when it is recorded on the Backing Tracks.
When the click track is present in the multitrack Backing Tracks it is recognized and sent to a separate output and to the headphones.
