Are you looking for the best backing track players to take your live performances to the next level? Whether you’re a solo musician, part of a band, or a DJ who needs reliable accompaniment tracks, choosing the right device can make all the difference. In this article, we compare two of M-Live’s standout options: the Divo backing track player and the B.Beat Evo. Both are ideal for playing backing tracks in formats such as MP3, MIDI, and multitrack—but each comes with unique strengths.

What Are Backing Track Players?

These devices allow musicians to play pre-recorded tracks during live shows, syncing audio, video, and effects without relying on computers or tablets. They’re essential for artists who want to sound like a full band while avoiding technical hassles. Brands like M-Live lead the market with innovations such as built-in mixers and multitrack support, making live shows more professional and seamless.

The Divo is a compact all-in-one workstation designed for hassle-free live performances. Powered by the Xynthia2 operating system, it delivers full polyphony with 240 voices, 300 sounds, 20 drum kits, and 250 percussion instruments. It supports virtually every format: MIDI, MP3, Kar, Mf3, Mf4, Mf5, CDG, and more.

Key highlights include:

• Built-in digital mixer with 2 mic inputs, 1 line input, reverb, chorus, and vocal harmonizer.
• Works as a 2x2 audio interface for PC/Mac, enabling direct digital recording.

Users love its simplicity and sound quality, especially solo performers who need a Divo mixer with backing tracks.

What Is the B Beat Evo?

The B.Beat Evo is a more advanced multitrack backing track player, built with bands and drummers in mind. Available in 128GB and 256GB versions, it supports up to 16 mono tracks or 8 stereo tracks in MTA (M-Live Multitrack Audio) format, exported directly from your DAW.

Key highlights include:
