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.

How do you mix backing tracks for live performance?

To mix backing tracks live, you should:

  1. Consider the source and quality of backing tracks.
  2. EQ and compress the backing tracks in a way that blends well with the live instruments and vocals.
  3. Apply effects in a way that creates a sense of space that is the same for both the backing tracks and live elements alike.
