This technology allows a digitally connected computer to channel the outputs of the various tracks of B.Beat PRO16 within a DAW environment. This function is very useful during sound check and in the rehearsal room, before transferring the backing tracks from the DAW directly to B.Beat.
Sheet music can be uploaded as PDFs, and each instrument onstage can have its own dedicated sheet music. The sheet music can be displayed on smart devices via Wi-Fi.
The philosophy behind B.Beat is to simplify the management of backing tracks and videos during a show. With B.Beat, there is no need to bring computers, tablets, sound or video cards, cables, and mixers onstage.
The same thing happens when the click is recorded onto your 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.
