This tutorial is produced by Bill Burgess, the former Pro Audio Product Marketing Manager for Apple. Bill helped develop the MainStage templates and patches!
If you're practicing music, MainStage is your perfect instrument. If you're a pro, MainStage will help you take your concerts to the next level ...
MainStage is Apple's musical performance tool. Under MainStage's purpose-built interface is Logic's audio engine. This means MainStage gives you real-time access to all of the unique instruments and plugins you've come to love in Logic Studio.
In this 4-hour tutorial by Bill Burgess, you'll learn how to set up concerts, assign knobs & faders from your hardware MIDI controllers to MainStage instruments, build custom patches & sets, and add effects to your sound. Bill also shows you how to trouble-shoot common MainStage problems! If you're looking to get the most out of MainStage, these videos will show you the way.
