MainStage Switcher

Hello

I'm working on a patch in MainStage for a song which includes several sections (and different layers for each section).  I have all figured out layers, just trying to understand how to use the buttons to switch between the sections.  For example, the verse uses a layer called "Verse pluck" and adds "Bass" in the second half.  It's pretty easy to do, but the pre-chorus then uses the layers "Big Chords" and "Big Bass Chords" and everything is cut, and then it is up to the verse.  So what I want to do, it's somehow MainStage assess what layers are silent and are not, and then configure it to the section that I'm (so, like, when I press the 1 button, it ONLY helps verse pluck to be reactivated, when I hit the 2 key, it adds "Bass" to the mix, when I hit the 3 button , he puts down everything and restores the sound "Big Chords" and "Big Bass Chord", etc...

Is there a way to do it, or should I make separate benches for each section?

Thank you!

Josiah

What I did in this situation is to assign several mappings for the button of the screen (and hardware mapped button) that controls the change.

Each instrument I want for control gets the mapped "bypass" setting, so that the button changes the setting "bypass" market.  The trick is to reverse the parameter range (by checking the box "reverse the setting Range') on all but one of the instruments.  When you do so, the same button push on one of the instruments and all the others will turn off.

Good luck

  • 3 MainStage mapping expression midi pedal

    MainStage 3 question. I recently redesigned my guitar rig to include some pedals in a rack drawer that I can control via my midi controller (Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro). I decided to add my M-Audio M-Track to the rack so I can use virtual effects and plugins with MainStage. Everything works so far impressive and I get some really great sounds without my pedalboard full so it will make for a small backup/repetition plus platform.

    One of the patches that I'm working on now is going to be big ambient swells. I use the plugin Shimverb of Valhalla (awesome plugin, especially at this price!) and I'll probably add some digital delay him as well.

    I want to use my expression pedal (Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Jr.) via the sockets of the expression on the ground control to control the volume for this patch. I got this to work with a little trial and error. The problem is that when I use the expression pedal to control the overall volume of the patch is. I want to control my entry level so that when I lower the volume with the exp pedal the reverb and delay continue to ring. I see a parameter in the assignments and Mapping tab labeled 'entry level '. I think this would be the parameter I want to exp pedal control. The small icon next to him has a lock on it and I can't adjust the settings. I think this one is set up for more like a toggle switch rather than a signal that sweeps a range.

    So, basically, I want to control the volume of my patch before it hits the plugins/effects. Is this possible? It seems that it shouldn't be that hard to make it work. I tried Google without success so far. Here is a picture of what I have so far. When I select 'volume', then I can adjust the settings. When I select "input volume" I don't have any options to change anything.

    I hope that what I'm trying to make sense of. I think that it shouldn't really be that difficult. Thanks in advance guys. I really appreciate it

    I found a way to make it work. I will post it here in case someone else has a similar problem. I added a plugin to 'gain' on the front of the signal chain for the patch then assigned the expression pedal to adjust the level of the plugin. Min value to something like 96 db and max has the value 0. Works perfectly for what I needed.

  • 3.2.2 MainStage Concerts will not open

    Mid-2015 Macbook Pro

    2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

    16 GB of Ram

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

    Periodically, when I try to open a MainStage concert, he does not. I get the spinning wheel of death color and have to force quit the application.

    The problem seems to be that my concert is getting damaged, even if she says that never it is corrupt. This happens so often that I have the concert recorded in five copies. I spent hours countless reconstruction of the same concert. I do not use external plug-ins and I use an Akai MPK249 and an Apogee GiO.

    I've used this resource to rebuild the concert the first time: https://brianli.com/rebuild-corrupt-mainstage-concert/

    I know that other users have had this problem, I wonder if anyone knows what causes it and how to avoid this.

    I used to have the problem of corruption, but have been free of corruption for the last 2 or 3 months. I have made two changes to my workflow, but cannot tell you to that which, if not more, the issue of corruption.  I also moved to a new driver of materials updated for El Capitan, but the corruption had stopped before

    1. I discovered that in switching between the hardware configurations and multiple output, some bands of stereo channels would become mono and vice versa.  I made the channel strips that everything is material that I use both.  I check every time than in quite awhile to make sure.

    2. I kept my concerts both a local and player to iCloud (for a return to the top).  Sometimes the iCloud backups would get puff - I don't know why.  I now only save on iCloud if I have a connection fast bulletproof (a full Concert can be a file of 1 G.)

    Just in case, I also use the file command "Save as" to save a return to the top of a good Concert known as the "BackUp".

    If you must rebuild, I also found that it is MUCH easier to save the Concert as a patch (in the menu in the list of Patch set "Save as Patch") done to rebuild.  I also save the custom Channel Strip settings (in the drop down "Channel Strip") to avoid having to rebuild these too.

    Good luck

  • MainStage 3

    Why Mainstage 3 not open?

    You will need to provide more information so that we can offer suggestions.

    Which versions of OS and software do you use?  You receive an error message?

    On the top of my head, try to go to ~/Library/Saved States Application / and that starts com.apple.mainstage trash.  Empty the trash, restart and try opening MainStage again.

  • Buzz of noise in the tempo switch

    My song has 4 different tempos. Every time that happens, occurs a humming noise. If I get all tracks FX behind it disappears. How can I keep the delay, but not the buzz?

    Thank you y´all.

    Use automation for on/off switch of the delays to and after each change of tempo.

    If that kills too late in the face of that time, and then introduce a Gain ahead of every delay, automate the Gain to cut admission to the delay when changing the tempo. Who will cut the whole track, however.

  • Airplay iMac switches back on computer after you select the apple tv. Why?

    Hello brianfromsooke,

    If you try to use your iMac, Apple TV AirPlay, but the audio output automatically switches to your iMac, it may not be the flow enough on your Wi - Fi network.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

    I am on a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Yeosmite 10.10.5, I want to switch to Sierra and am nervous to do when I had a terrible experience upgrade to Yosemite, support with gratitude by Apple in charge.  I have everything backed up on Time Machine. Are there steps of preparation I need to do before you download and upgrade to Sierra.  Can you please advise me please?

    N ° so you have a backup if something goes wrong you can return to Yosemite.

    Only concern is that some devices, including USB that may require the updated drivers, but these records are not always available

  • My iMac freezes during a turn on and between two switching user accounts

    My 2011 iMac has been crashing for weeks. Usually, it freezes when I turn it on, connect to switching user accounts or user accounts.

    I upgraded to Sierra yesterday and I continued using for hours and it was fine.

    I turned on today; some of the Apple applications do not work... Mail, App Store, Safari (this is what I tried). Responsible mail application, saw a list of emails, but when I click on a particular message, the message will not load. Safari cannot load a Web page at all (I'm now using Chrome). AppStore cannot load anything too.

    It is slow since updated for Sierra.

    A part of which is related to the upgraded Photos app. If you have lots of photos (in thousands), it will take a lot of time for it reach to analyze your photo library. The best thing to do is to let him finish, as long as it could be. 1 hour per 1000 photographs as a rough estimate. When it is finally over, the performance of your Mac will be back to normal.

    Definitely get rid of "Trusteer" however. As a needless "anti-virus" garbage is still installed on your Mac, it is unreasonable to expect it to work the way it was designed to work. Safari won't work. Mail will not work. A lot of other things that you really need to work just won't work. Please read of effective defenses against software malware and other threats.

    {//action when the switch is on}

    {//action when the switch is off}

    }

    What is called mySwitch?
