I'll just complter what t says it's true that there is no problem of installation in particular
BUT
For now I still use Logic 7 on the iMac, and I just did the update on the MacBook to use MainStage on scne quickly.
And loading of presets, instruments and some modules are missing! APRS is used when the app really missing a whole bunch of stuff like a! Yet I repeat the installation in order to be sr request the installation of the total, including the "pack" of components Logic 7: same
Luckily I still have Logic Pro 7 in the iMac! So I quickly compare files with modules, instruments, samples: in fact, it lacks a lot of things!
In short, I copied everything to be quiet, and now everything is clean! All fawns I also wanted my instruments rcuprer sample characters, at least the I sr I all!
If not, no worries, but I put that dsagrment 7 because of what I set a time to understand, and even when that is curious ...
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I'm a little obsessed with MainStage, but for now I only use a, and then at least notice the above SPECIFICATIONS ...
Since the days MainStage 1.0.2, everything is nickel, latency stability ... So it's a 2GHz MacBook with 2GB of ram. In the absence of graphics card (they recommend a MacBook Pro because a) it should not be too too rely on presets, and leave ct dj compressors or other plug-ins when hungry there are not too useful.
For patches scne, I put a rverb a bus, a limiter on the gnral not to blow the ceiling-ing sound, and in slices the effects sp cific without forcing. Well, even if with some twisted stuff like phaser + wah + Delay, a TRS is well at the CPU. I mfie even when I put a gauge and CPU in the layout to have an eye on it in full screen ... Also, I MainStage driver with two "real" MIDI keyboards, as are the keyboards I worked with until now, I plugged into my console in addition to the computer, and if I ppin decrease the volume of the computer, and I go up the synths, at least adpanne!
But for now, en bossa quite extensively the house, no problem.
Only thing, the memory (2 GB) arrives saturation after about 70/80 pieces, with an average of 3 / 4 slices per piece. I test on the Systm scne on 31/12, and if it's really stable, I add 1 GB and I'm really cushy.
OVERALL OPINION
So for about three weeks that I am above. For now MainStage is a priori not equivalent. L I'll talk sounds, obviously in MainStage and Logic was exactly the same things.
So at the sound, ok I have two to three sampler of things a little fawn SPECIFICATIONS my work (like the M1 piano) and I still have two to three sampler stuff, but nothing that having a sampler means that anything is possible. And sounds available, with all the Jam Packs included, it is relatively the bomb! Some sounds should do well for the eastern directory, including Ave instruments and Turkish dtournant lgrement Chinese instruments.
Oh yes, I for brass when Ms. Sample the "Brass of power" from my Korg Triton Le, got personal, if not the brass are fairly standard.
Specially mentioned, but I do not teach you the may be little, for simulations of electric pianos, of clavinets and tone wheel organ thanks to the terrible trio EVP88 / EVD6 / EVB3 ! I who am a fan of Rhodes, Wurlitzer, claves, Hammond, then too bad for the purists, but something as close with dtails surprising (as some harmonics Hammond CRADA) in a bag of computer is the class.
Otherwise I am willing to be a purist, I agree that this is not the same thing as the real instruments, it is empty, but then you have to have all models Rhodes, Wurlitzer, etcaetera with effects processors for each change rglages top speed of a piece the other, and should be even more units of the same MODEL but an age diff rent, as can be rgler wear strings or tone wheel! The one-click switch between rglage the other with another SETTING THE tremolo, Leslie, live, etc ... Even when I am happy to be my era, I worked there some time with a guy who has a serious problem of hernia occurred APRS port have a Hammond organ ago thirty years ...
I cite as my favorites: the ES1, the great big synth all green though stunning, and his friend the finest and ES2 complex.
With everything going on quiet musette, jazz (whore, a waltz with a slightly jazzy Rhodes larger than life !!!), and the disco-funk techno, and everything by clicking on the title !
I prcise just one thing to not look like a thankless dbile: I respect all the instruments normment passs and design! If we pass directly to the silent piano on the computer would have wolf sounds of legends now essential! What about the inventors of the Rhodes Clavinet or thanks that we do not treat us systmatiquement players Bontempi! And Hammond? To some extent it's synthse additive, and with its fall! I just find that their simulation software is a worthy tribute when it's done as well as that, and it is normal to go another step, but it has had to invent everything for real sounds Today, let us never forget that ...
Brief. Otherwise, I'm a boring time pass so I do all the standard presets (needless to say that my patches and even entire Systm t have backups of all c ts!) but then when play ended with the stress of change patches on a whole bunch of instruments, and I will even set ending for titles with vocoder, the same, in a clicked will call the rglage and I can FINALLY arrter to spend a keyboard almost exclusively the vocoder!
In short, I expect the real test of scne, but for now I'm hyper conquered.
Logic by itself, for the little I've seen there are a lot of changes in the management of such windows, I can not speak too much, but I feel I'm going to slap the positive too!
One thing is for sre, years of dveloppement by Emagic and a good estate by Apple gives us incredible tools and more ergonomic, with dsormais a price that should not be large hsiter world, especially with the joys of Windows Vista! How right I was to pass before the Mac Microsoft dernire joke ...
