Mainstage For Mac Free Download

Go back to the audio track and select the Mainstage input bus you just created as the input. Then select the midi track and select the Mainstage IAC Driver you created earlier.
Also, choose your main midi keyboard device you use/are using for midi. Do not leave " ALL MIDI inputs" selected in the midi track, it will cause a slow response when triggering mainstage.
Please be adviced, this works flawlessly in my mac, so take this with a grain of salt that it might or might not work for you. Unfortunately, you have to pay for Loopback, but totally worth it in the end.
I had "automatic updates" turned on (no longer, I've since changed that). With automatic updates turned on, MainStage 3.2 got installed. At first I was able to load my concert file, at least the very first time. I opened the concert file, made a few small changes (normal kinds of things), and then I saved the concert and closed MainStage 3.2. This is where the trouble began. The next time I tried to load the concert, MainStage 3.2 hangs indefinitely at "Loading Plugins". I let it sit for about 20 minutes, it never loaded the concert. I am able to load smaller concerts, but the one I use most of the time is large, and I can't load that concert now with version 3.2. I've used MainStage 3.1.1 for quite some time with no issues. I have an iMac with 2 internal drives, a 250GB SSD (the Mac OS 10.9.5 and all my apps live there), and a 1TB hard drive with all my audio samples. I have 110GB free space on my SSD, and 725GB free on my hard drive. I have 16GB of RAM on this machine. So as you can tell, it's a well built machine. I've used it for 3 years now with no major issues with MainStage. However, now with version 3.2, I can't load my main concert file, it just hangs at "Loading Plugins". With this problem, I've restored from a backup, going back to version 3.1.1. After my restore to 3.1.1, now everything works great. Has anyone else had problems with loading concerts using 3.2?
I'm experiencing the same thing, where smaller concerts will load, but not my larger concert. Regarding how I resolved my issue (by restoring a previous version of MainStage), twice per week I perform a complete backup of my iMac using Time Machine. To restore my MainStage to version 3.1.1, I did a complete restore of my solid state drive (SSD), which for me is where MainStage is installed. Here is more info on how to restore your hard drive from a Time Machine backup:
Thanks WSFKeys. Sometimes my bigger projects will load, sometimes they wont, and sometimes they load blank or default versions of a plugin patch. It seems like it loads plugins once and then tries to do it again, and a weird "converting" message comes up as well.
I suspect this is a case of a super buggy update and hopefuly they will fix it soon. I recall that MS 3.0 was very buggy as well, basically unusable, and everyone went back to vs.2 until they fixed 3.
I dont know if I want to reinstall my whole system just to get mainstage 3.1 back, but maybe thats the only way, given that these DAW apps put so many different files in so many different places. Best of luck to you and thank you for your help.
I got a more immediate problem, after the MainStage 3.2 update was forced on me (I've not worked out yet where to turn this off). After updating, it claimed that all my concert files were corrupted, and asked me to restore them from a backup. This cost me about 45 minutes of rehearsal time this evening with the band waiting around for me to solve it! The solution, after reading here, was to go back to the previous version by restoring from TimeMachine. I didn't have to restore the entire SSD; I simply went back a few days and selected the MainStage application from the applications folder within TimeMachine; this seems to have restored only MainStage without touching anything else, which is perfect. So I'm very impressed with TimeMachine, and very annoyed with MainStage, the new version of which is totally unuseable, at least for me.
Similar problems here (OSX 10.5 latest drivers etc.). I play in 2 bands. One concert set worked right from the start. Another more complex with different and more complex routings etc worked NOT. And now the strange thing/solution. I'm also El Capitan beta testing and.... in the latest version of 10.11 it was possible to startup the 'corrupt' version. I saved it and re opened this version in 10.5.... and YES it works again.......??? So there was maybe a bad 'update > conversion' to MainStage 10.2.
I am having the same issue. I can open files with eight channels or so, but my files with twenty or so won't open. It takes a while for the plugins to load and then I get a message saying that the file is not compatible and to load it again from a backup. This is super bad.
When restoring it, using Time Machine, you don't have to restore everything. You can just restore the bit you want. In my case, I only wanted to restore the MainStage app itself, so I scrolled back in time to before the upgrade was applied (a couple of weeks was enough), then found the applications folder and selected the MainStage application to restore. This restored my application without overwriting newer versions of data files (such as documents, concerts etc.).
