What is MainStage and who is it for?

“

- [Narrator] If you're a musician, a performer, or a producer looking to integrate a computer into live performance, MainStage is an elegant, inexpensive, and easy-to-learn solution. While Ableton Live is an incredibly deep and powerful platform, it not only has a steep learning curve but it can cost you a pretty penny. What makes MainStage unique from other DAWs geared towards live performance is that it's extremely visual and intuitive. I like to think of it as an infinitely customizable virtual MIDI controller that allows you to access sounds inside your computer in whichever way you please. This simple principle is extremely powerful when used in a performance. Also, keep in mind that purchasing MainStage gives you access to the entire library of Logic Pro 10 sound content and software instruments, not to mention any third-party plugins you may own. It's honestly one of the best deals in the world of pro music applications. Whether you're a solo performer or a sideman trying to expand your sound, an online streamer looking to spice up your performance with sound effects, or even a mix engineer looking for a new way to manage effects in a route audio live, MainStage is an ideal companion that can take your performance to the next level.
