APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM PATCH

And seamless Patch switching lets you hold a chord in one sound while moving to a new Patch.There are a lot of opinions on the web about which DAW is the best.

APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM PRO

I apparently seem to have THE stereotypical YouTuber home studio these days – a 2016 MacBook Pro, Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live.

APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM FULL VERSION

Actually, I’m running Ableton Live 10 Intro, because I don’t need the full version yet. Pro Tools might be what the big studios use, but out of the box it’s designed for recording 32 tracks with mics in a pro studio.Įventually I’ll probably upgrade, but Intro is perfect for my needs right now (and budget.) So is Logic – at $199, it’s the smartest DAW purchase on the Mac. To match Logic or Live, you’d need to spend a ton of cash on instruments and drums and plugins. Intro is a track and instrument limited version of Live. You’re limited to 16 tracks, which can be audio or midi. You’re limited to 8 “scenes,” which won’t make sense to you unless you understand the unique way that Live works. APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM SOFTWAREĪnd it comes with only 4 software instruments. If you want to make loop-based electronic music, Live seems to be the standard for good reason – it’s got the best tools for it. You could DJ with Live, you can do live electronic music concerts, blah blah blah.

But if you want to dive deep into EDM, you’ll want the full version of Live, not Intro. However, if you’re me, Live Intro is the steal of the century. I do my own original music, or covers, or both. I wanted something that could play back stereo backing tracks while also sending MIDI patch changes to my HX Stomp and also send patch changes to my keyboard and ALSO send commands to my DMXIS box, which controls my DMX lights. And I wanted something that could do all of that without choking or killing my CPU. Quite simply, Live (or in my case Live Intro) was the best and only option. Technically I could use the instruments built into it, but I have MainStage 3, and that’s what I use for all of my keyboard patches.

APPLE MAINSTAGE EDM UPGRADE

If I ever decide to add band members, I could upgrade to the full version of Live, and instead of stereo backing tracks I’d use multitrack backing tracks. Then we’d all play to a click and I’d mute the tracks for whatever live musicians I have with me. If I had enough musicians, I wouldn’t need the backing tracks at all, but we would still play to a click so that we had programmed lights and guitar and keyboard patch changes. Live was designed for, well, live performance. To record a traditional album on it (meaning not EDM) would be painful. And seamless Patch switching lets you hold a chord in one sound while moving to a new Patch.And although this will be controversial, the instruments in it aren’t that good. With Multimapping, you can map multiple parameters to a single control, so you can smoothly manipulate your sound without trying to turn several knobs at once. Start walking a bass line up the keyboard, and the split point moves up so the bass doesn’t suddenly become some other sound when you get into the higher notes. It intelligently moves the split point on a split keyboard Patch to respond to what you’re playing. For starters, there’s the Floating Split Point. MainStage is not only an amazing host for software instruments and effects, it’s also packed with innovations that let you shine on stage. Or bring the authentic sounds of a Hammond B3 organ, Hohner Clavinet D6, or Fender Rhodes or Wurlitzer electric pianos on stage. Use Retro Synth to re-create your favorite electronic sounds from the ’70s and ’80s with an intuitive set of controls. And Chord Trigger allows you to press a single note and have it trigger an entire complex chord. The Arpeggiator features note-based remote controls and flexible latch modes. Take your performance beyond what you can actually perform.
