It, in effect, will provide a very simple 'dumbed-down' instrument that anyone can play. I will go ahead and try and explain what I want to do in more detail.

Is there software out there that will do what I just described above (if MainStage won't)? Yes, this in essence, would be an even more dumbed down 'instrument' than the current 'smart keyboard' touch instrument that limits all notes being triggered to a particular scale. Alternatively, maybe the computer software (MainStage or alternative?) could take the same midi chord notes being sent to it over and over, but change (transpose) them to the actual chord demanded of the song at that point in time. If the midi controller can interpret a chord change in a song, then new chords could be automatically played, regardless of the midi key pad note being triggered, and be updated automatically as the song progresses. I want to send that chord/chord change information to an external midi controller (e.g., a midi keyboard, or touch panel instrument). Ideally, the chord changes in a song could/might correspond to marker positions in the song. What I'm trying to do is, somehow, embed chord information in an accompaniment track whether that track is a midi 'software instrument' or analog track (I think) doesn't much matter (at least, for now). I'm trying to see if it's even possible to get to 'point B' from my newbie status 'point A', and in an efficient manner. Right now, I'm not at the point of worrying about resource limitations, because I don't (yet) rely on 3rd party VST's the instrumental sounds and effects of the Apple solution(s) will for the most part, work for my purposes, I think.

Since all of this is new to me, I find it daunting at times as I fumble along. Yours is an excellent post, for your taking the time to provide detailed feedback, explaining differences and the pros and cons of the different software. As with Live, Reaper is probably compatible with 32-bit plugs but you'll have to look into this yourself. I just had a quick look at the Reaper website and it apparently uses both VST and AU. However, I recommend trying Reaper as a possible alternative to MS because the dev is incredibly open and responsive to feedback, and Reaper is updated fairly frequently. On the occasions I tried it, I found Reaper to use more system resources than MS (esp CPU) for my particular requirements and it was an easy call to stick with MS.

However, Reaper's focus is slightly different again and it's closer to Logic than MS. I've haven't used Reaper very much but a lot of my peers swear by it as an alternative to MainStage. For the life of me I can't understand how an innovative and well-funded company like Apple can't streamline MainStage to be far more efficient. However, MainStage and Live each have a different focus and later in 2009, I eventually moved to MS as my platform of choice.although I'm still flabbergasted about how resource-hungry it is. When I first started out with a software-based gig-rig at the beginning of 2009, I used Live because MainStage had only just been released and was still in its "infant" was a worse resource hog than it currently is. I haven't kept up with the development of Live but it's probably compatible with 32-bit plugs.

However, Ableton Live is far more resource-friendly compared to MainStage, plus it uses VST in addition to AU.
Apple mainstage seminar for mac#
I wouldn't regard what I'm about to mention as substitutes for MainStage because MS is the only software for Mac with its particular focus. I too want to know what the alternative is.Īre you going to delete this post, too, APPLE? Would enjoy further work work with Pat.īrilliant.Wow, I replied with an alternative a couple of hours ago and someone has removed my post. Students can connect to Zoom using a tablet or computer with reliable internet.įascinating and well presented, Thank you very much and I will certainly be telling others about itĮxcellent! njoyed the history of colors used in history and where they were found. Students will also be able to join the Zoom sessions from their Lessonface dashboard. Enrolled students will receive an immediate email confirmation of enrollment, and on the day before the seminar, a reminder with Zoom link to join the class via email.
