I've seen the claim being made, and am curious to see whether that's true. Is the heavy on the light side? I found that I needed to increase the mini's audio output to 150% in order to drive my amp enough for solos when we were loud. Does it work without having an actual monitor hooked up to the Mini? That's not true in my experience. Cheers guys I got mine. Like having to dismiss a feedback alert that I forgot to del with when creating a preset.
MainStage lets you stay focused on your performance. This is kind of a drag. . I have long been considering something similar to what you are doing. Screens are expensive; batteries are expensive; keyboards, etc.
When I checked into something like this years ago, I seem to remember that the solution was to jerry-rig some connector to the monitor jack so that it would think something was there even when it wasn't. The mini is setup to auto-login to an account setup for Mainstage and then launches Mainstage. If you want to play keyboard sounds through Mainstage, you just need Mainstage software from the App Store and a keyboard that can connect to a Mac. And I'd be able to play multiple Soundfont instruments at once, split, layered, and panned? For sending audio to a mixer, I like to step up to at least a minimal interface, like. You can play it after the initial load but it might glitch on you until it's fully loaded. I would find the near vertical orientation more difficult to use in that instance.
Maybe he can tell us how long it takes to fully boot into his operational state. What if you've sent a patch change message from your hardware, but something went wrong and the patch really hasnt changed? I know, pix or it didn't happen. If you plan to use more complex layered sounds, use any third party plugins, or perform multiple tasks at once like running tracks and keys sounds then we'd highly recommend you go for something with higher specs. It shouldn't be too hard, but a wise user would also make sure the connection is secure Yes, I think you can wifi-connect an iPad directly to a Mac with no base station involved, and yes, you'd want to enable password protection on the connection. It feels light to depress the key, but you still need to play with some force to max out the velocity. So I suspect that Logic will not work as you suggest.
No battery to worry about deteriorating. Not so bad for 2 pianos, but if I wanted to be able to access more, it would add up too quickly. Essentially, once setup, the Mini sits quietly in the gigging box as an expensive untweakable-on-the-fly but powerful sound module. Are cubes good for mainstage? I think it should be even easier, in that I think the iPad and Mini can create their own wireless network even without a router. But for the most part, running headless is quite doable.
That's working flawlessly, just turn it on, wait about a minute, and it's there for the iPad to connect to. When I checked into something like this years ago, I seem to remember that the solution was to jerry-rig some connector to the monitor jack so that it would think something was there even when it wasn't. Would you be mounting it in a rack that will get tossed around? You might be able to pre-wire the D. When I see the patch list, I'm live. The downside is, of course, it's more than double the price. The Receptor is quite robust, but it is sometimes frustrating having more up-to-date software on the laptop than on the Receptor.
Mac of All Trades is also the best option for you if you're on a tight budget, because they sell older model years that are more than capable of running MainStage and feature a lower price point. And, does anyone know what the weight is of the ultra? With the same interface, a quad core will have much lower latency, less pops and crackles. It's better than any movie Joe might be using his superdrive for. Have you used one of these apps point-to-point? It might make the touchscreen drawbar usage feel a bit better. What I like about the Microstation here is that I think you could fit it up there without having to worry about a two-tier stand, though other boards might fit too.
Then next week, I will set up the less essential plugins and figure out the optimal way to mount and case everything. My expectation is that the load times and streaming performance will improve dramatically, but it's all pretty theoretical at this point. One less power brick to mess around with. All of those things add fixed costs that won't benefit you much once you setup Mainstage. Tonight will be my first live gig with Mainstage.
Our new video at is a 40 minute adaptation of T. Still planning on getting a mini to play that role instead of the macbook pro, but I have to say it was nice having the visual feedback for gain staging and the like. Now you can take your performance beyond what you can actually perform. Dbudde, Your solution is very smart, given the circumstances. The action is still pretty firm, but there is no escapement bump. Tested using Logic Pro X 10. So when a crash happens, it's hard to pinpoint the blame.
