If you’re on a tight budget you could pair an M1 Mac Mini with an ASUS Zen Screen and have a great set up. The Mini has way more ports than a MacBook too. I’ve the 16GB model and it handles everything I throw at it.

David, thank you for such informative content. My children have been our organists at church for 3 years now and I am attempting to build a practice organ for them at home. Can you give me some pointers for Mainstage. I need to connect two midi keyboards and a midi pedalboard to Mainstage and I need to be able to set organ registration individually to the three midi devices. Is that possible?

@yuginoty65 2 года назад

Hey guys. I've been running MainStage/Logic on this 2011 17" MacBook Pro for years. I still use the original equip I bought back in 2012. My used Novaton SL61 mk2 I bought from Guitar Center is probably the oldest, yet it's still going strong. This 17", the laptop I am on now, is limited to OS 10.13.6 because of the CPU through. Even my 2013 iPad, used with the Logic remote connected to show more mixer channels, I still use. I guess I'll have to upgrade someday. Yet, so far, so good! Peace...Guy

@chetandavdra 2 года назад

I'm wondering - is there a way where I can use Logic Pro X's live loop, have a dedicated hardware mapped for triggering the loops, but then route (clock sync as well) that into Mainstage and use Mainstage purely for playing my live keys? I would setup all the patches in MainStage. I don't want to use Mainstage's playback as i find it's not very good, also I'm creating like a 25-30min non-stop set where I'm going to be doing mash-ups of different songs and require the flexibility of live loops?

@maffstenning9627 2 года назад

Hiya David, just a quick one to say hello from North Wales (UK) and thanks a lot for these tutorials mate. I'm not religious but I came across your content after buying a 2020 Macbook Air recently, with the intention of using it - MainStage particularly - for live gigs with my band, etc. I've used Logic for years but MainStage is a very different and confusing ball game, I was surprised by how difficult I found getting my head around even just some of the most basic functions tbh. I don't often comment on YT vids but your stuff has been *massively* helpful to me, so it seemed only right that I should thank you. So err..... thank you :) Kindest regards from sunny (yeah ok) Wrexham, Maff :D

@TraceMeek 13 дней назад

What about output? How do you get your sound out of your USB audio interface and into the room? I tried plugging a ¼ inch instrument cable between my UA VOLT 276’s output, and the input jack of my Boss Katana, and it sounded shrill and awful. Obviously, I tried to dial in a clean and uncolored sound on the amp. It sounds great when I connect my UA VOLT to my Presonus powered studio monitors. Do you just take your studio monitors on the road with you, instead of an amp? Or do you plug straight from your USB audio interface into the house’s sound board? If you go this route, how do you get a little stage monitoring of the sounds coming through your computer and USB audio interface? Thanks!

@SundaySounds 12 дней назад

Thanks for your comment. The vast majority of folks run their audio interface output to the soundboard directly, either via a cable, into a stage box, or similar. If you need some monitoring on stage most churches rely on either stage wedges or an in-ear monitoring system. Hope that helps!

check MainStage preferences and make sure audio output is set to your interface

If you plug in an amp instead of the wireless transmitter , is there audio mainstage output coming out of the Jack? Might need to check mainstsge audio settings? Good luck
