MainStage 3.5.1 Mac Torrent is a music application lets you take your Mac to the stage with a full-screen interface optimized for live performance, flexible hardware control, and a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro X.
However, a badly fractured collar bone a couple of weeks ago quickly put the brakes on my tried and tested approach (side note, snowboarding is dangerous) and forced me to consider other ways to perform our songs.
Before we start, it is possible to use the MainStage software without any hardware (if you have a MacBook Pro Touch Bar, the Touch Bar can also function as a keyboard device) but I recommend using the MIDI keyboard and I / O interface. You can also use VST Plugins (Virtual Tools) – download tons of VST plugins here.
The physical keyboard is easier to play samples with buttons and play MIDI sounds and the interface will give you options to play guitars/microphones/keyboards and get a balanced line rather than relying on a headphone jack.
