Designed to turn your Mac into a live rig, MainStage 2 has many performance features starting with a full-screen, high-contrast view of your controls, and the ability to set things up so each control is linked to a different parameter in each patch, giving you just the controls you need onscreen for your song. Other features include loop recording with the Loopback plug-in, that enables you to record while you’re on stage, plus ReWire and MIDI-out support, so you can connect to your favourite hardware. MainStage2 plays backing tracks and also has special features for vocalists, keyboard players and guitarists, such as amp and effects tones.
