Aliases no longer sometimes fail to resolve to their parent channels when imported into a Concert. The plug-in Sidechain input menu now only shows inputs that are currently available with the active audio device. If the V key has been pressed on your keyboard to hide open plug-in windows for a patch, opening a plug-in from another patch with the mouse no longer causes the plug-in windows from the previous patch to reopen.

It is now possible to change the Panner type on multiple selected channel strips simultaneously. Creating an alias from a soloed channel strip no longer unexpectedly mutes the original channel strip. Channel strips that are the originals of aliases now show a badge. Double-clicking on a bus send control allows numerical editing and can be used to simultaneously set the value of busses on multiple-selected channel strips. Outputs in the Mixer that have been switched from stereo to a pair of mono outputs can now be reliably selected after a saved Concert is reopened.

Keep your hands free by using foot pedals to control the effects you add to your voice. And display large, high-contrast notes such as lyrics and chord changes on your screen. So all you have to think about is singing.

Love the sound you got on your recording? MainStage makes it easy to bring all the same instruments and effects to the stage. You can even expand your show with prerecorded backing tracks.

With Mac as the core of your live rig, setup is faster, teardown is faster, and everything in between is more reliable. And you can easily use your favorite hardware to control every nuance of your performance. The MainStage and Smart Controls interface is designed especially for live performance. You get a full-screen, high-contrast, and high-resolution Retina display—supported view of your controls, so they stand out from across the stage.

And you can set things up so each control is linked to a different parameter in each Patch. With just the controls you need onscreen for your song, you'll never have to hunt for the right knob.

With MainStage, setting up your stage rig is faster than ever. Start by choosing from a complete range of performance templates, many of them preloaded with great-sounding Patches. Or look to the Patch Library to find a Patch or sound ready to be tweaked to perfection.

Just save your live set as a project and MainStage puts all the necessary files into a single folder you can take with you anywhere. MainStage supports your addiction to knobs, buttons, and faders. It can connect with just about any external MIDI device on the planet. And the interface is simplicity itself. No more assigning knobs over and over for each preset. MainStage also features pickup modes that make fixed controller knobs behave more like the endless encoder knobs found on high-end gear.

If your control surface can receive status information from software, MainStage will send MIDI messages to keep your control displays in perfect sync. Any other functional iOS emulator should also serve the purpose here. Once you have downloaded and installed the emulator on your PC, launch it. You will find that the user interface of the emulator will resemble that of an iPhone.

Go to the home page of the emulator and open up the Apple Store. As soon as you enter the store, you will be directed to a log in page. This step is mandatory as you are accessing the store for the first time from the emulator.

At this stage, you can either use an existing Apple account or create a new one with quick email verification. After you have successfully signed in to the store, you will get unrestricted access to download and install the apps there.

Camelot thrives when it comes to stability. MainStage built for live performance whereas GarageBand is mainly for composing. With this being said, you could find some workarounds with GarageBand to still perform live. GarageBand is a fairly easy program to use and it comes for free with every iOS device.

There are also many great resources available on Youtube. Should you be curious, we recently published an article that breaks down some great Garageband alternative options. We have provided you with 4 great alternatives to MainStage. I believe all three of these work well and if I were deciding, I would recommend Ableton. Ableton has become the king of live music for a reason and it is the DAW that I use as well when playing live. Should you not have the budget, we would recommend going with Cantabile as there is a free version you can test out.
