You basically load in a playlist of all of your songs (backing tracks panned L, click tracks panned right) and it simple has a huge transport PLAY/STOP/FWD. There is a very simple app calle BackTrax that looks pretty good.
are all separate and outside of the computer so I feel more comfortable (at least at this point) using iPad to kick off backing tracks. My backing tracks are only click + synth style instrumentation. What I'm doing with the band is probably going iPhone / iPad route. Yes, this is actually a great video on the subject (but Mainstage 2, I think Mainstage 3 is a little different). It's quite good, I'll see if I can link to it: There is one very indepth video of a acoustic based artist using the GIO, Mainstage, IEM system and a Focusrite audio/midi interface for live.
FCB1010 MAINSTAGE 3 PATCH
Within those songs you can have sections that include imported WAV files (playback), patch changes on your guitar rig (I was using SGear as a plug in), possibly loops, softsynths / drums via MIDI, etc.Īnd use a foot controller to advance through all of that for a show. So basically you have songs listed in order. What I wanted to do (which is possibly what you want to do?) is control all aspects of a show (I believe Mainstage calls it a concert).
That being said MOST of the videos I saw with this setup were using Mainstage as a guitar rig ONLY. I know for sure you can assign different controls to MIDI, but I recall hunting and reading that the MIDI mate doesn't normally send MIDI notes for it's changes which is what Mainstage needs? People where mentioning using the Behringer FCB1010 to control all aspects of Mainstage and some people were very happy. Mainstage is supposed to be an easy interface but I found it extremely confusing at first blush. I was also able to get it to see my Rocktron MIDI mate (through my audio interface) which means it "should" allow me to use the MIDI mate to control anything in Ableton. I was able to get Ableton Live to create "playlists" and to advance through songs using my keyboard midi controller. I have a Rocktron MIDI mate to use with my AxeFX II (that is currently my live rig).
I have toyed with this idea and I bought Mainstage ($25, NO BRAINER) and I also have Ableton Live Lite which came as a bundle with my audio interface.
