And it comes with only 4 software instruments. You’re limited to 8 “scenes,” which won’t make sense to you unless you understand the unique way that Live works. You’re limited to 16 tracks, which can be audio or midi. Intro is a track and instrument limited version of Live. To match Logic or Live, you’d need to spend a ton of cash on instruments and drums and plugins.
#APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM PRO#
Pro Tools might be what the big studios use, but out of the box it’s designed for recording 32 tracks with mics in a pro studio. Eventually I’ll probably upgrade, but Intro is perfect for my needs right now (and budget.) So is Logic – at $199, it’s the smartest DAW purchase on the Mac.

Actually, I’m running Ableton Live 10 Intro, because I don’t need the full version yet. I apparently seem to have THE stereotypical YouTuber home studio these days – a 2016 MacBook Pro, Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live. You can also map screen controls to actions, which provide the ability to select patches, control the Tuner or metronome, provide visual feedback, and perform other functions.There are a lot of opinions on the web about which DAW is the best.
#APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM PATCH#
After you make these controller assignments, you map the screen controls to channel strip and plug-in parameters, completing the connection so that you can easily access and manipulate the parameters you want for each patch in the concert. You make connections between your MIDI devices and your MainStage concert by assigning hardware controls to the screen controls in the concert. Layouts contain screen controls, which are onscreen representations of keyboards, faders, knobs, buttons, pedals, drum pads, and other hardware controls and displays. Sets are folders where you can store patches you want to keep together.Įach concert also includes a visual interface, called a layout, with controls that you can use to modify your patches in live performance. You can organize patches in a concert by ordering them in the Patch List and also by grouping them into sets. You can even mix channel strips of different types in a single patch.
You can add channel strips, choose channel strip settings, add instruments and effects, and edit their parameters to customize your sounds. In a MainStage concert, individual sounds are stored as patches, and each patch can contain one or more channel strips, each with its own instruments and effects. Concerts are MainStage documents that hold your sounds-a concert can store all the sounds you’ll use in an entire performance or a series of performances. MainStage provides a flexible interface for organizing and accessing your sounds in concerts.
Vocalists and acoustic musicians can also use effects setups with sound input through a microphone. You can create your own effects setups and switch between them easily. If you play electric guitar, you can perform using included effects setups such as amp simulation, overdrive, reverb, and compression. If you play a USB or MIDI keyboard controller, you can play and control a wide variety of software instruments, including pianos and other keyboards, synthesizers, strings, horns, percussion, and more.
You access and modify the instruments and effects in MainStage using the familiar Logic channel strip interface. MainStage lets you use professional-quality Logic Pro instruments and effects in your live performances. Whether you play a keyboard, guitar, another instrument, or sing, you can use MainStage with your instruments, microphones, and MIDI hardware when you perform live. MainStage turns your computer into a powerful multi-instrument and effects processor that you can use on stage when you perform. MainStage is a music application designed for you to use in live performance.
