What is MainStage?
I dunno. Anyone?
isnt it a part of the new logic studio
It has something to do with Logic Studio…
I bet the new version is snappier!
Had to search for it on Apple’s site:
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/mainstage/
Apparently it’s for recording live performances into Logic Studio

From my understanding, it is a patch librarian that can be used to leverage software instruments that have been installed into Logic in a live performance environment.
That makes it different and complementary to something like Unisyn, which acts a patch librarian for hardware instruments.
All work and no play makes MDN a dull boy. 🙁
Just reading about this update made my blinking snappier.
MainStage is a new application as part of Logic Studio that is designed to make it easy to use your computer software instruments in a live performance situation.
I think its used to make porn.
I still don’t know what it is, but I’m pretty sure I want it. Maybe I’ll use my iPhone rebate to buy it.
“I think its used to make porn.”
LOL! Brings new meaning to MultiTouch.

I love you Gomer37.
Porn can be snappier?
Sh_t I am usually done in 5 sec.
I EAT the porn
Wow, Apple sure has done a bad job marketing Mainstage. It’s the first time MacDailyNews posts an article about an Apple software update and nobody knows what the hell it is, including me!

Everyone: MainStage is like a week old. It is part of the brand new Logic Studio. Could be why nobody has heard of it.
BTW, does anyone know of a review of Logic 8?
Everyone: MainStage is like a week old.
IOW, it’s overdue for a price cut and Apple Store credit.
Here you go:
Guitarists and others with electric instruments play through amplifiers when performing live.
For years, effects boxes like fuzztone, reverb, phase shift, chorus, delay and more were physical boxes that you connected, one after the other between your guitar and your amp so you could use those sounds when performing.
Someone got the idea, while recording their guitar into Pro Tools, Logic, Performer, whatever – that they could take all the effects plugins (which are now software) on a channel strip in the recording software in their laptop ONSTAGE with them and plug that into their amp, and that they could have all the effects in the world at their fingertips (or what they could afford) with NONE of the hassle of a huge rack or pedal board.
Also, in the old days, if a keyboardist wanted a lot of sounds at their disposal, it meant saving many patches in one instrument or carrying a lot of different instruments with them to the gig.
MainStage is one of the first apps that hides the multi track recording environment. It takes you to just the patches and the effects in an interface with large graphics that works well on a darkened stage. You now have none of the pain of trying to see what effect you’ve dialed up on a screen with a million other little tiny channel strips across the screen.
I have it, and I’ve played around with it- it seems to work great and be the perfect answer to a difficult problem.
