Audio Backing Tracks can be of different
formats which we summarize here:
1.Audio Mp3 or Wav (or other digital for-
mats) into a stereo track (without click)
2.Audio Mp3 or Wav (or other digital for-
mats) in two mono tracks (with click in
one of the two tracks)*
3.Audio multitrack (mp3 or wav or other
digital formats) **
4.Stems (audio multitrack according to an
established protocol)
B.Beat can play the 4 formats we have
listed.
*B.Beat automatically recognizes the Click if pres-
ent in one of the tracks in the Audio project or Ste-
reo file you want to import.
** B.Beat can read single Backing Tracks with
a maximum number of 16 Mono tracks. This means
that if Backing Tracks had stereo tracks the maxi-
mum number of tracks would be 8. Backing Tracks
can also have mono or stereo tracks, the important
thing is that the maximum number of "channels"
does not exceed 16. For example, 3 stereo and 10
mono. If your Backing Tracks has more tracks you
will have to delete some tracks or mix them with
other tracks in the project through your DAW.

Once you have created on your DAW the
Audio file that constitutes the Backing
Tracks you can save the same project to
separate tracks, so each track will con-
stitute a single Audio file (Wav or Mp3).
Save it to a folder that will contain all the
tracks in that single Audio project.
The maximum number of tracks you
can read with B.Beat is 16 mono, or 8 ste-
reo.
You are now ready to import the project
you just created into B.Beat:
1.Connect B.Beat to the PC in a preferred
mode
