All Audio, Video, Images and Midi materi-
al must be prepared via a DAW and other
Audio Video synchronisation programmes.
Once the sound and video material of your
show is assembled and mixed properly,
you are ready to transfer it to B.Beat. For
this you use B.Beat Manager, a software
made available in both Windows and Mac
versions. If you have Audio Backing Tracks
in Mp3 Stereo or Wav format, you can up-
load them to B.Beat using the USB input,
with a stick. B.Beat reads the contents of
the Stick and plays it in real time, or it can
import files into its memory. To transfer
the repertoire of Backing Tracks, Videos,
Images and Midi Files synchronised with
the audio, you can use the B.Beat Manag-
er software, below are the PC connection
methods.
