toolsmenu_juke

The Jukebox player offers a simple way to play/practice along with a playlist of any audio files such as your favourite music, backing tracks and so on, alongside BFD3. This function exists within a separate window - use the Show Jukebox function in the Tools menu to open it. To close the player window, use the standard OS controls at the upper-left (Mac) or upper-right (Windows) of the window.

The Jukebox player's audio output is routed to BFD3's master output (the first stereo output) although it is not affected by the master channel's settings or effects.

Therefore, it is routed to your audio interface along with BFD3's audio output, without requiring any additional mixing software or hardware.

Use the Jukebox player panel's Volume control to adjust its level relative to the sound of the kit in BFD3's master channel.
