How to Use Apple MainStage 3.4.4 Multilingual MacOsX for Live Performances
Apple MainStage 3.4.4 Multilingual MacOsX is a powerful software that lets you turn your Mac into a live rig for any kind of performance. Whether you are a keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, or DJ, you can use MainStage to access a huge collection of plug-ins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro X. You can also customize your layout, control your hardware, and record your performance with ease.
In this article, we will show you how to use MainStage 3.4.4 Multilingual MacOsX for live performances, and what are some of the new features and enhancements in this version.
Setting Up Your Live Rig
The first step to use MainStage for live performances is to set up your live rig. This involves connecting your audio interface, MIDI controllers, microphones, speakers, and headphones to your Mac. You can use any compatible device that works with Core Audio or Core MIDI on Mac.
Once you have connected your devices, you need to launch MainStage and choose a template from the Project Chooser window. A template is a preconfigured set of patches, channels strips, and plug-ins that suit a specific type of performance. You can choose from templates for keyboards, guitars, vocals, drums, DJing, and more. You can also create your own template from scratch or modify an existing one.
After you choose a template, you will see the MainStage workspace, which consists of three main areas: the Patch List, the Channel Strips area, and the Workspace area. The Patch List shows all the patches that are available for your performance. A patch is a combination of sounds and effects that you can switch between during your performance. The Channel Strips area shows all the channel strips that are used by the patches. A channel strip is a signal path that contains an instrument or audio input source, and one or more effects plug-ins. The Workspace area shows the layout of your screen controls and hardware assignments. Screen controls are graphical elements that let you control various parameters of your sound on your Mac screen. Hardware assignments are mappings that let you control screen controls with your MIDI controllers.
Customizing Your Layout
One of the great features of MainStage is that you can customize your layout to suit your preferences and needs. You can add, delete, resize, move, and color screen controls in the Layout mode. You can also group screen controls into panels and assign them to different layers for easier access.
To enter the Layout mode, click the Layout button in the upper-right corner of the workspace. You will see a toolbar with various tools for editing screen controls. You can use these tools to select, draw, align, distribute, group, lock, and delete screen controls.
To add a new screen control, click the New button in the toolbar and choose a type of screen control from the pop-up menu. You can choose from knobs, faders, buttons, meters, text labels, images, and more. You can then drag the screen control to the desired position in the workspace.
To edit an existing screen control, select it and use the Inspector window on the right side of the workspace. The Inspector window shows various parameters that you can adjust for each screen control, such as name, value range, color, shape, size, font,
and more.
Controlling Your Hardware
Another great feature of MainStage is that you can control your hardware with ease using hardware assignments. Hardware assignments let you map screen controls to physical controls on your MIDI controllers or keyboard shortcuts on your Mac keyboard.
To create a hardware assignment, enter the Edit mode by clicking the Edit button in the upper-right corner of the workspace. Then select a screen control and move or press a physical control on your MIDI controller or keyboard. You will see a blue line connecting the screen control and the physical control in the worksp
