What is the best backing track player?
DAW of your choice: Ableton Live is a fantastic option for playing backing tracks (among many other things). Other software options include LiveTraker and Digital Performer to set up your tracks for the show. Reaper is also great for multi-track playback.
What is needed to play backing tracks?
What you will need. If you're going to run your backing track straight out of a computer / tablet / phone headphone socket, you'll need a cable with a stereo ⅛” / 3.5mm minijack on one end and 2 normal sized mono jacks on the other.
