Think of it as your entire file or project. The Concert is the highest level of MainStage. You navigate through the Perform space using any input device you have: mouse, keyboard, or MIDI controller(s). This view takes the visuals you’ve tweaked in Layout and the sounds you’ve developed in Edit and gives you a complete full-screen experience, perfect for life playing.
Everything here is “Live,” so hit buttons on you’re keyboard or play a rhythm on the guitar and it will produce sound. Here, you set up your Concert by mapping buttons and faders to control your desired elements, set up your patches with either single sounds or layers, and add effects to fine-tune the production. The Edit section is where you’ll spend the majority of your time. You can work with formatting options, grouping objects, and layering with each element you add. Add keyboards, knobs, buttons, meters, and parameter text to your heart’s content. This section is where you control the look and labeling of your screen. Hopefully this short breakdown will assist in understanding how the program thinks and get you up and running quickly. And, while I found most of the workflow to be intuitive, I realize that intuitive is a very relative word.
This tutorial will overview Mainstage 3’s basic terminology. The samples and patches rival some single-use plugins that cost hundreds of dollars (just check out the Rhodes, Vintage B3, or even the guitar amp modelers). It delivers and easy-to-use layout designer with up to 35 GBs of really fantastic sounds, loops, and effects.
For me, it’s best the best $29.99 I’ve spent in a long time and has become the central part of my new keyboard rig. Mainstage 3 is an Apple software, designed specifically for the live musician looking to add studio-quality sounds and features to their live performances.
