However, I hate using my PC laptop, and having to go through this extra step.
Until now, I have been using L9 to produce the tracks, only to import the bounced audio AIFFs into Sonar Producer, as that platform has an easy-to-use (heck.even the drummer can figure it out.!) Playlist feature which allows the user to easily move between Sonar Sessions. However, this does not lend itself to any flexibility, and a potential for disaster live.
I have flirted with the marker idea, and of creating one project that is set up as an entire set in the show.

The ONLY limitation of Logic Pro 9 for this application as far as I can tell, is the lack of a speedy and efficient way to move between projects. I am looking to use either Logic Pro 9 or MS2 for live backing tracks as well, and am debating on whether or not to invest the better part of a day watching Doug's MS 2 Explained video (No offense Doug, your videos are all great!)

Just the musicians can no longer be on concert level but rather on set- or patch level, whatever fits better. If the musicians have different channelstrip settings for each song category or each single song, you can handle the playbacks in the same manner, via buses. Their playback files will still get started by the patch but you don't hear them because their outputs, the playback buses, are muted. With this method, you just go to concert level and mute the playback bus of each playing musician. The playback strips would be on patch level, the buses on concert level. I think a more elegant way is to output all guitar playbacks to a "PB-Guitar" bus, all organ playbacks to a "PB-Organ" bus etc. Maybe this is already what you want and 10 songs aren't too much for this method. In a patch, you have the first playback strip for guitar, the second playback for organ and so on.īefore the performance begins you could step through all patches and mute or delete the playback strips you don't need. Each patch (= song) would contain the playbacks. In this case I would put the player's live strips on concert level. You have to mute the playback strips of those members who are playing.įor now I assume that each player has his individual channelstrip but the setting of the strip does not change, it remains the same for each song. Your variable band members force you to mute certain channelstrips depending on the musicians who finally show up. You need to know the details, otherwise you would rebuild your Mainstage setup for each gig, which is no fun. And that dictates the organization of the main library. We have to look closer to find the best system for the individual performances. With a controller, you would have to re-assign the patch changes. You can change the order of the remaining song by just dragging them in the patch list. For each gig, duplicate the whole thing, give it a meaningful name and delete what you don't need. This is your library and everything should work there. Maintain one big Mainstage concert with all your songs/patches, properly organized, with sets for categories, style, whatever your criteria are. Since the Logic approach was not good for you, let's try the Mainstage way. I hope that's clear!Īh yes, now I remember this discussion.

Now I'm starting to build repetoire in MS patches but am still dithering about how to hold my growing library of patches. I've figured out how to start the next patch automatically with patch change and Graeme's tip completed the solution. I don't use a controller on stage yet, just a macbook on a stand. It actually works rather well now I can use the space bar and up down mac keys to control MS. I can then use the MS patch to rehearse the individuals in the band and ultimately deliver the set live with anyone who is actually there (hopefully most!) muted.
I arrange a song (with markers) for the (10 piece) band in Logic, bounce down groups of tracks into AIF stems and load those into multiple synched playbacks in a mixer patch. A bit like Graeme wants to do (is doing?) - you and I had some discussion on this in another thread somewhere if you recall - you proposed using Logic with markers (which I have tried but swapping songs takes a little while and I'm still exploring MS).
