Tracks/MIDI/Video/Etc WITHOUT A LAPTOP 🤯 "B Beat" - Full Tutorial

[@mikebryant4146]

This is the device I’ve been waiting for. Never wanted to drag a laptop to a gig, so thanks much Scott for turning us on to this game changer device. Stay well dude!

[@picksalot1]

M Live was smart to send it to you for review. I can't think of anyone better who could present such an amazing, feature-rich, piece of gear, without overwhelming the audience. Amazingly well thought out unit, and I agree it is fairly priced, putting into the hands of musicians that can take advantage of it's power and utility. Kudos all around! 👏

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks man! I appreciate that! This thing is right up my alley for sure 🤘

[@zjfalchin]

Bought one of these in January and ran it on a tour flawlessly, very solid unit. Easy to set up and run live, will look into running midi patch changes thanks to this vid ❤

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice!! 🤘

What did u send the midi signal too for lighting control over dmx

[@Thevery80sleon]

We (80's cover band) have been using B.Beat for over a month now and we are hugely satisfied. The next step will be adding images and videos.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome!! 🤘🤘

@@Thevery80sleon sorry, what do u send the midi files too

[@PrymalChaos]

Do you know if any USB antenna will work or you specifically need the M-Pen. I asked BBeat but they were cryptic about it.

Awesome video! And a big shoutout to Stefano (from M-Live) for the outstanding post-sales support! 👌

[@SM6Band]

Hey Scott, thank you for this amazing video! We've used the LP-16 for the past couple of years. The power supply started acting up and we knew we needed to find a replacement. We almost went with the Track Rig after watching your review. Then we saw this device - it seems too good to be true. We just purchased it with your affiliate link. Thank you for the great videos. We know how much work it is to create these and appreciate all your efforts. Very helpful!

Thanks!! I’m glad to hear that 🤘

[@TheMatthewmcgee]

I don't know how you always find this gear, but this thing is awesome! We do live band karaoke so we rely on synced video quite a bit for lyrics screens/music videos. This looks like it could be a great back up option for our Ableton setup. Thanks for sharing

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Oh nice! Yeah this definitely would be a great option! They actually DO have it where it lines up directly with karaoke. Look into it more, it will follow exactly with the lyrics like karaoke. I had to cut some stuff from this video, so I didn’t include that. But it has that feature as well!

[@jerryhollis3968]

Scott, I have been watching your vids from the beginning because, as I have posted before, you do what I do.. Your videos are getting better and better and you are a go to when you post. Keep up the great work.

[@MrChuckbackus]

Thanks for another terrific review/tutorial. I've been a gigging musician for almost 45 years and am constantly amazed by the technological advances that have become available to performing musicians during that time. Scott, I'd be interested in learning - perhaps other viewers would as well - where you see technology taking the performing musician in the *next* 45 years.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Dude I can’t even imagine how the tech is going to get! A lot of people are worried about AI, and it will be interesting for sure. But I can’t even imagine how the tech will evolve in the next few years. Anything that makes life easier I think will be adopted. In ears, direct rigs, etc. it will be super fascinating to see!

[@rogercortina6752]

Scott. Great review. Been looking at this prior to your video. Gave a lot of info. Thanks.

This thing is going to be so handy. Right now the laptop we use on stage isn't the best so we have to prerender out the back tracks and video to an mp4 and play the set through windows media player =P Seems a lot better than buying a laptop that can power everything though the DAW and easier to manage than rendering out a new set and moving it across however many flashdrives and uploading whatever. Appreciate you sharing this^^

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Glad this video helped!

[@michaelbassick7479]

Hi Scott - great video as always. Would love to see a video on what gear you use to project/display video during your gigs. This is something my band is exploring, and the B Beat could make the managing/synching piece of that real easy. Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m currently using an “ultra short throw” projector and a cheap projector screen I found on Amazon. I kind of go over it in this old video of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_aoGadn8-Vg9U But I definitely want to look into other options. I’ve seen video wall “curtains” that are interesting. The tech is evolving and I definitely want to explore it more 🤘

[@riffism]

I use 50 inch LCD screens mounted on collapsible totem trusses for video. And HDMI splitter is all you need to feed the screens.

[@zampkampmusic]

Holy moly. First of all - thank you for this incredibly well done walk through. Secondly - what an incredible device!! So many useful features im super tempted to pick one up. 2 questions: 1) after a year, how are you liking it? Everything still working well and has it been easy to implement at shows? 2) do you use a projector or monitor live for video, or do you send hdmi to the house projector or something? I’m just wondering logistically how best to run each output to FOH, projector, and click to the band Thank you again!!!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! This device is definitely one I still recommend. Running video can be tricky, but when I did do it I would run to an ultra-short-throw projector onto a screen

[@zampkampmusic]

@@ScottUhlMusic so awesome thank you Scott! Definitely will invest in a super long HDMI cable to go with it so I can send it to wherever the projector looks best

[@LolMahmood]

Thank you!

[@JamesBermingham]

Fountain of knowledge 👏👏👏 Would you prefer this over Stagetrax 3??

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! Both are great, but are slightly different. B beat has video which is very nice and can import midi files instead of manually programming midi. So it just depends what your goal are. Both are great 🤘

[@eduardosinatra869]

Amazing video! Helped me a lot!

[@Andyanddiana467]

This is great. I run visuals for bands in NYC and something like this can be very useful.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Especially if you are doing visuals, I think this is a no brainer for sure!

[@soundbecamecolor]

I used your link to purchase one! can't wait for it to get here. can I route more than one track to an output? like just give the venue a stereo cable? I have a stereo backing track and one synth.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Enjoy! And you can send in stereo if that’s what you mean 👍

[@soundbecamecolor]

@ I’m wondering if I’ll also need a mixer or if instead of sending six outs I can send everything out of the 1 and 2 output.

[@stephanpelletier1727]

Hi Scott! So much great information! I just bought you a few coffees! Thanks so much! I am starting a new project where I will need backing tracks (for first time) and have been thinking of buying a new laptop and an audio interface, and now I see this. The one thing I don't like about this device is the MIDI connector (which will be very important for me). I am not so confident with that connector, versus a traditional 5-pin one. Maybe it is as good - I don't know :-(

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I saw the coffees, thank you! That was really cool of you 🤘 Glad you enjoy the channel. I do wish the output wasn’t 3.5mm midi, but using those adapters that I have you can get it from 3.5mm to 5pin midi and it does work well, so it’s worth looking into 👍 I wish it was just 5pin, but it does still work

[@stephanpelletier1727]

OK - thank you Scott! :-) Very interesting device! I particularly like the ability to send 6 audio channels (drums, bass, etc.) to my mixer where I can control the in-ear mix to the likings of the different musicians. This seems to be something I could "not" do with a laptop which would stream all tracks at once to an audio interface via the USB port.

[@stephanpelletier1727]

OK, I correct myself after watching one other of your videos showing single file playback approach (with right and left channels) and the multitrack approach using USB and audio interface with many outputs, using a PC or iPad.

[@stephanpelletier1727]

Scott, may I ask if you know if this would work with Android, considering I want to output MIDI tracks as well? I seem to find that the USB port of an Android can only be set for audio or MIDI, but not both at the same time. (I ask because my wife just purchased a nice Android tablet for her dad, but he doesn't want it. I'm trying to figure out if it could be helpful to me, to drive mp3's "and" MIDI out. Else, we will just return the tablet. Then, I would have to choose between a new PC and audio interface, versus the B.Beat.) Thank you!

[@ChaosDP]

Love it! We have been looking at new audio interface with 6 outs for backing tracks. This is slightly more $ but eliminates the laptop. The video synch is nice touch as well.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Yeah this device is truly incredible. I want to buy a stand alone looper now, and use automatic looping with this device.

[@STEFLiveTube]

Great video. As usual. ❤

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you 🤗

[@T-Slider]

Superb video! Absolutely fascinating piece of kit! What an exciting time it is to be a technical director of a show. At 80, my technical director days are long over. Those were the days! Scott, would you please review a few time machines for me? And again, thank you so much for your help!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hahaha, send them my way and I’ll test them out 😂😂 Thanks for following the channel. And I agree, this is a really cool piece of gear!

[@BrotherGoode]

This thing looks amazing! Thanks for in-depth tutorial. I currently use a Looptimus foot controller to start/stop backing tracks in Ableton via MIDI. Do you have any idea if this device will allow you to assign certain songs to different foot switches on a controller? For example: Song 1 start via Footswitch 1. Song 2 starts via Footswitch 2. etc

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That I don’t know… I don’t believe so, but I could be wrong

[@RikLamersDrummer]

Damn! I wish I knew about this product sooner. Small enough to put into a shelf, probably very light, safer than taking a laptop and interface (especially when traveling) and can do more than just playing tracks. Probably will use this to attach it to my hi-hat stand with a mic clamp and use a small pedal to start and stop songs with just a few foot steps to make it easier. Thank you so much for the full tutorial. I'll know how to handle this thing when I have it in my hands.

[@danicideofficial]

Amazing tutorial, thanks, planning to buy one, I wonder if you can control 2 gears with midi, for example, 1 guitar pedal, and 1 vox pedal at the same time, with the midi file and can I use the wide jack for that?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup absolutely! Just have one set to read on channel 2 and another set to read on channel 3 for example. And the export all the midi messages to one midi file

[@danicideofficial]

[@ScottUhlMusic]

[@sabrosapurr]

Fantastic video and it's probably what will push me over the edge to purchase this. I've been curious about it, and this explains everything I needed to know. Of particular interest is the ability to include midi light shows AND video. That's crazy cool. Also, I'm just dying to get away from a laptop for live performances. One question I have is, would the iConnectivity PlayAUDIO12 work with two of these in the same way that it does between two laptops to create a redundant playback system?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t believe it has that feature, but that would definitely be cool if it does have it!

[@Musicdhara]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE MAN.. 🤘🏻

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Dude right? It blew my mind! 🤯

[@wrathofgodoficial]

Nice one man! So i have a question, how i can do the midi track? i´m using Studio One for the backing and click tracks. Cheers!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You create the midi file in a DAW, and then export it as a .midi file and load that onto the B Beat 👍

[@wrathofgodoficial]

@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you man!

[@void_division]

I'd been very much interested in the Idoru Backing player, and I always wish these units had cue markers and loop points, so you could go to practice and just focus on the parts you need learn for new tracks you are making, but these units only have Start, Stop. I actually use Denon Prime Go as my backing player because if has 8 Cue points. One day maybe.

[@JDavilaDavilaDVP_Productions]

Wow! It is really awesome!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Right!? 🤯🤯

[@antoninonett2990]

in future update of the BBeat, u will be able to use 2 BBeat in Sync. So you will have double outputs and more options

[@MalcolmStew]

Hi Scott! I recently discovered your channel, and it's amazing. It's so hard to find all this stuff and learn how to use it. I'd like to ask you if it's possible to run multiple midi files in case you wanted to control fx pedals and lights at the same time. And if it's possible, how do you set the midi info, like which channel use and all that stuff? Also, I suppose that you should have some kind of "midi splitter" or something like that, right? Thank you very much!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And you can load one midi file with all the commands for different channels. So channel 2 controls guitar pedal, channel 3 controls vocal fx, channel 4 controls a synth, etc and save it as a single midi file 👍

Just what I was looking for. I bought one after watching this video through the link you posted. BTW your link for the midi cable shows female 5 pin instead of male.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! And that’s the cable that I used unless they changed the link for some reason… but you want female so you can connect your midi cables to it

[@craigmckenzie]

5:17 great tutorial thanks! Just clarifying, you could send the headphones output containing just click / cues L and R and send it to the mixing desk like the other 6 outputs for a total of 8 outputs and have the whole band get their mix containing the click and cues?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe you have just the 7 outputs, not 8. 7 comes from the headphone out

[@craigmckenzie]

@@ScottUhlMusic good call :-) the headphone output would be in stereo so you could have click and cues panned hard L and R into the desk to mix independently?A great machine with so many capabilities 👍

[@EXPLICITBG]

@@ScottUhlMusicShouldn’t you uncheck any outputs for the click if you want it to go just to the drummer? In the video you describe it as being controlled by the aux button but in reality that just mutes or unmutes channels for the drummer. If you want the click not to go from the line outputs you have to make sure it has no output assigned.

[@PathologyMetal]

What are your thoughts on using a Roland SP-404MKII Linear Wave Sampler for backing tracks?

A million thanks for posting this Scott! This is brilliant. Ditching my laptop and interface immediately. Quick question, can you simply display a media file (logo etc) non stop for a gig's duration or does it have to be tied to individual scenes and songs?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can just have it play the logo all the time if there is no video file on any of the songs 👍

[@EricPowell-o2z]

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere in here. It seems like it comes with a euro power supply. Any links to a reliable USA power supply? Thank you - great video.

[@CarwynHenigan]

Well, I watched your IDORU P.1 video and was very impressed. The only thing I wished it could do is display lyrics. Then I found this video for B-BEAT which offers lyric display. I'm somewhat torn making a decision. I really like the footboard format of the P1. I see you can play/pause a file with a foot switch, but is it also possible to also select next file to play with the B-BEAT? Thank you for the awesome videos and all your advice Scott. You rock bro!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And yeah if you want lyrics, b beat is the only option. You can use a foot controller with it, but it’s more a play/stop feature with this one. You can select another song with the app though I believe

Have you gigged it much? It seems extremely well thought out and the ideal all-in-one audio/video/midi solution but is it bomb-proof? Also- how long does it take to boot up, from power-on to playback? thanks

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I have not gigged with it because I just spent over a month getting 300 songs ready on another device lol, but I do plan to eventually use it live. I definitely trust this thing to be used live. Nothing in music is “bomb proof” but this thing is extremely solid. It only takes a few seconds to boot up. Maybe 10?

Scott, heading down to Dallas International Guitar Festival? Very cool unit, seems to be the cat's meow for making it all work in a dedicated device. Are you finding this will take over from the iPad setup and Stage Traxx 3?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It depends on what you need for sure! Video is something stage Traxx cannot do. I have made 300 songs in stage Traxx, so I probably won’t change that lol. But for my original music, I’m very much considering switching to this possibly. I would need a looper since I loop in ableton right now. But it’s such a killer device!

Hey Scott, Thank you very much for your great videos. As a band, we have just started using the B.Beat to run our backing tracks. Do you have a workflow for synchronizing the backing tracks with lyrics or sheets on a tablet PC? In your video about the B.Beat, you briefly mention it towards the end.

Once I’m ready I transfer this on this great machine and bring it with me on stage. Having just one piece of gear for that it’s so much better than carrying a Max or a Pc with a sound card. Less cables, less worries, really quick to set a playlist and even run it with videos synced. Great piece of kit.

Awesome Review...Can it loop audio..would love to have midi control to punch in Intro, bridge, chorus, endings on demand.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It does not loop audio

[@lionwave4476]

Thanks you so much Scott, a other amazing tutorial ! i just ordered. The part where you use your iPad, does your application on your iPad control the B-Beat or does it control the outputs on your Berhinger Xair? My question is , can you control the gain for each output directly on the b-beat ? Thanks !

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Enjoy! And it’s just the settings for the behringer mixer, not the b beat. But you can control the b beat outputs from the device itself

[@carluschin]

love this tutorial, one question for the MIDI Cable, type B is for the HX Stomp?? or the B Beat???

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not sure which side is “type B” to be honest. That was new to me

[@carluschin]

thanks so much@@ScottUhlMusic , and the Widi Jack with the midi master dont need Type A or B, just worked right? like universal imputs? or did you need also type B? in advance thanks for your everything

[@SteveWallaceGuitar]

Hi Scott, I’ve just bought one of these and I’m really happy with it. Question: can you explain how you made the MIDI track to control the HX? I’m trying to do the same on my Helix to change patches at the start of every song and a few at certain points and I’m getting nowhere. I’ve watched your other MIDI videos as well. Any help is appreciated 🙂👍

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice! Glad you are enjoying it. This video should explain it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXKnh36Cisiqoc0si=VIKz1XlWirX69gv6 Once you make the midi file in logic or another daw, export the midi file and save it to the b beat and it should work great. If it doesn’t, remember to check the midi TRS cable type

[@SteveWallaceGuitar]

@@ScottUhlMusic did everything you said and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much :)

[@lilleydrummer4203]

Hey Scott. Love the videos. Just picked up a B. Beat for my band here in Canada. Sent from Germany. If came with a European power adapter….did yours also? I guess that makes sense I have lots of USB-C cables and power adapters. I just want to make sure I don’t screw anything up with the power. Did you have to make that change also? If so…what “wall wart” did you use? Thanks. Keep up the great work and videos.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe mine came with the European cable as well and I just needed the adapter for it. That happens sometimes! Enjoy your B Beat 🤘🤘

[@simonfripp]

Hey Scott, brilliant video as always. Do you know if the midi has to be manually inputted or does it have a learning mode like Stage Traxx?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Great question! It has to me manually loaded from a MIDI file. So I made my midi stuff in Logic, and then exported it to the B Beat 🤘

[@simonfripp]

@@ScottUhlMusic Would be great to see a tutorial of how you did that?

[@aarontroopergaming]

I love that you were playing I write sins not tragedies

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I was just working on the track for that one for my band haha, so it was good timing

[@liamcoombes2697]

Hi Scott, firstly thanks for the great content. This channel is a real goldmine for finding some amazingly handy gadgets including this one which I bought almost solely based on your demo. A question I have about this device that I hope might be an easy answer for you is about the MIDI functionality. I want the B-Beat to control my lights on MIDI channel 16 using the DOREMIDI MTD1024 but also a number of other devices on different MIDI channels. I have programmed a single DMX light fixture with a single track of MIDI in Studio One 5, which is running fine on MIDI channel 16 through a NEKTAR MIDIFLEX 4 USB MIDI interface into my DOREMIDI MTD 1024. The trouble is that when I export that same MIDI file and upload it with its corresponding audio track the B-Beat plays the MIDI file back on MIDI channel 1 and at a much slower tempo (the audio plays back fine). There don't seem to be any MIDI track output channel settings on the B-Beat and I suspect that I might need to look into editing the MIDI file at a coding level to have any hope of using a multi channel MIDI file with the B-Beat so the MIDI lighting and MIDI guitar processor messages can end up on their own discrete channels. Have you encountered an/or solved this issue in your time using the B-Beat?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I can export a MIDI file for multiple midi channels and it works great on the B Beat. I do this in Logic. I had a consultation call with a guy who had a similar issue as yours and it was a problem with his DAW. Logic Pro is for sure able to export midi in multiple channels, so that’s my best guess as to what’s happening with yours

[@liamcoombes2697]

@@ScottUhlMusic The DAW export is where the problem looks to be from my testing too. I will dive into the Presonus message boards and see if the DAW is even capable of that kind of export. Thanks for the reply Scott! All the best!

[@lucasjuniorproducer]

Love the MBeat, actually im on a big Live Band and yesterday just before the Show we had a problem with the power supply. It was turning on but not leaving the Inicial Logo, So no Play, Stop, Playlist, nothing. But still light up and have power. Sundely i tried to put my Powerbank of my phone ant guess what, it works, so for now, 5 months after, the power supply dead on me, not enough power on the Ac adapter i guess. Just ordered another on amazon. Ugreen. But anyway is a good product, to bad the power suply is not stronger. Now i ordered another Mbeat for backup Spare, we never know and also the power supply extra..Cheers and nice video. ;)

[@nematode-band]

What’s the best way to create the midi files? I looked around but am having a hard time finding any videos about creating midi files to control this thing

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I make it in Logic Pro X and then export it as a midi file, which I import into the B Beat 👍

[@nematode-band]

@ thanks so much for responding! does this involve configuring the midi environment in logic? Basically, my goal is to control the x32 rack mixer using midi files from the bbeat. Configuring the midi environment properly seems a bit daunting and I’m worried it’s over my head. There’s a few videos on KZbin that discuss it but I’m getting confused with all the different steps and terminology. Am I missing something?

[@tonepilot]

This is really neat.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Agreed! 🤯🤘

[@SuperDrummerful]

I might have to get this, I currently run my tracks on an SPD Pro, but i've spent extra money on taking on fly dates. This would be so much smaller to take abroad and it links video.

[@RichAntonelli]

Great video. Looks like you are using an iPad in the video to move faders. The m live site says the app is only for mac and pc. How are you doing this?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I just use the iPad to demo it for the video. I sent the audio OUT of the inputs into my mixer and I was controlling my mixer. You can control the outputs however you would like (or however the sound guy would like)

[@Rezakordbach]

I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing video you made! It was really helpful and I learned a lot from it. By the way, I have a question about the B Beat. Can it also do DMX export to control the stage lighting? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! Best regards, Reza

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! It doesn’t do DMX, but I specifically made sure to release this video about using midi to control DMX before this video came out 🤘How to USE MIDI to Control Your DMX LIGHTING - Full Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYnQaIWbpZ5jf9U

[@milosdolinsky8475]

Great video! I have one question - can I use this device to sync my hw drum machine, synths etc. via midi? I assume yes, but just wanna be sure before buying :)

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks, and if they can accept midi, then yes 👍

[@LutharoOfficial]

Hey is it possible to add 2 or 3 different hx stomps to be controlled by midi at the same time ?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup 👍 just assign them to different midi channels

[@DrumGun76]

Hey Scott, have you seen the new Pro16? Would love to see more info in English😂. The redundancy in the Pro 16 has me intrigued.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m at NAMM right now and I should be reviewing the new stuff sooner or later. But I will be releasing a video of “cool new stuff at NAMM” including that 👍
