Is there a way to use like auto tune or pitch correction with MainStage live? I use a mic into rodecaster pro 2, into my MacBook. And then in live-streaming through Ecamm. I’m wondering if ai should buy MainStage so my artists can use autotune live on stage(would route audio into Ecamm, and also back through rodecaster and into the speakers), but not sure

When I add a new channel, it’s automatically assigning the sound to my piano. How do I assign it specifically to my drum pads 4:29 ?

Can I use Liveloops with MainStage? How about live Loops when the loops are backing tracks for a live performance?

Excellent walk through of the process. Now I just need to order some solder, some wick, a USB port and locate my best soldering iron! Many thanks for posting this.

I downloaded de Template but I can[t figure out how to make more songs besides the one is included! Please Help

Mom’s piano 🎹 which is it? :)

Thank you! This is the video I have been looking for.

Super great comparison video - thanks a lot for making this, James ;) I did a live recording recently where I (due to limited separation options) was forced to record vibes, upright bass and nylon string guitar in the same room. I just started experimenting with the Logic Pro Stem Splitter hoping to be able to get rid of some of the bleed between the instrument mikes. It works some of the way but what I'm really lacking now is a way to separate the "Other" melange into definable instruments - vibes and nylon string guitar in this case. Is there any product in the market that can do this? It must be coming anytime soon. Thanks again, Best Vibes, Mo'. ❤🐫🤠🇩🇰

I've bought the full VDL about a month before this came out, I wish the Muse Group would hint a little as they were updating that VDL would come to Musescore 😭

if i've bought the full tapspace vdl, do i still have to buy the muse vdl?

Wow it must be my birthday, this is amazing! What a fantastic deal, I’m getting it right away 😎

Thank you for this! The dynamic is issue is pretty bad, I think it's the same for muse sounds instruments imo, I wish there was an easy way to fix that part but loving everything else about Musescore 4

For the love of god please do not get the presonus studiolive for marching band

Two question: 1. If my sustain pedal is built in with my keyboard I still follow the same process? 2. Is there a way to make a pedal that can start and stop the metronome?

thank you for your time and effort - very helpful - bless

I need an audio mixer for a musical at my school to use for exactly what you were saying about metronome in one ear, and instrument sounds for the audience. Do you know of any other mixers that have the 1-2, 3-4 option that are a little more budget friendly?

The biggest gripe I have had with musescore as a whole is importing scores or parts from a sibelius exported xml (compressed or uncompressed), and even sending a musescore file to someone else and them importing parts, bass drum parts sometimes just get put on one line... I really like MDL, especially for writing tuplets and the accessibility, but the importing is brutal. I honestly think its a thing sibelius bakes in somewhere to make life harder for non-sibelius users. Different software architectures are going to have issues, but how the XML format is supposed to be the universal language between programs but it just doesnt translate correctly sucks.

Can you review the VDL sounds for musescore 🙏 Awesome review

Great review dude!! #1 fail on their end, dirty drumline playback makes it 100% non-usable. No one needs their kids to hear a dirty battery on the show mp3. I’ll take old VDL’s sound quality trade off for playing perfectly in time - You can change and alter EQ and all that, but you can’t fix bad sample editing. I heard this in their first demo they posted too, and hearing it’s just baked in, rough. They’d have to re-edit the entire sample collection and also remove the round robin as an option. If it can’t play basic street beat stuff clean, it’s going to be a complete disaster for anything even remotely challenging or dense. Maybe there’s plans for that and they just launched it early, but this is a long way from being a daily workhorse.

I’ve been using it for the last few weeks, it’s not bad at all! My only gripes are only 5 basses, no options for 6 or more basses, and the sticking still isn’t figured out yet.

I continually watch these videos. Thanks for putting it out there for the world.

My sampler is not playing when I click the key (with mouse) trigger/hear the sound when I upload. Is there a setting that I have to change in order to do this?

No you do not have stem splitter in logic pro 11 if your mac has intel chips!!!!!!!!!! Stem splitter is greyed out and disabled so you will need another option than Logic Pro 11 or include buying a new Mac with apple chips then you will have Stem Splitter for the additional $200 far from free. I am here for the options because I cannot buy a new Mac just to use stem splitter (Yes I do have logic pro 11 and Intel chips on my iMac, stem splitter is disabled)

Can it work without daw during live performance

tfw i search for pc buildign daisychaining

If I was playing live with a backing track, could I use MainStage?

So nice! Great walkthrough ❤️🎉

Hello friend! I downloaded the Backtrack Template, but it says the information is unreadable. Can you tell me if everything is ok with the file?

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for all the mainstage content!

I saw the Bluecoats audible flag feature first in ensemble rehearsal the night before their first public show. I had the same reaction I had 10 years earlier when seeing/hearing the pitch bend for the first time.... like, what just happened?!? 😮😊🍁💙

The whole blue coats show was insane this year audio and visual and if I'm honest all of DCI was insane this year compared to other years

very cool interview...Drum corps since 2004 has been trying to figure out how to be top notch and forward moving with audio and amplification. It's been a journey for sure over the last 20 years. Not all corps are there, but after seeing Bloo 4 times this year, I'd say the future of DCI is in good hands, and this is the corps that's leading the way in sound design. And can I just say I loved this year and all the cool sonic moments. I really appreciate the straightforward attention to music and sound vs. the over-the-topness (although good) furniture/storyline/narration. I love when corps leave it up to the audience for interpretation! Beautiful stuff!

Great interview! It was nice to meet you at some of the shows this summer

amazing interview here! also as a audio engineer in the house of worship side....putting thought into sound design and products is soooo important. good stuff! truly inspiring and makes me wanna go to my alma mater corps and help design.

Hi im using scarlett solo, and im using motif XF. It only has 1 instrument port. How to use a mono out to my FOH? Should i just use the Left output? Thanks

You know what would have made this a better video? More of the music and less of you talking.

Thy Holy Name

Phantom had a great show but their trombone and euphonium moment is so cheesy

I saw something from a Bluecoats staffer stating that the material for the flags during that awesome flag feature was Mylar. The same material that’s used in camping blankets and some balloons.

great video, thanks! i do love when colorguard equipment sounds make it onto the mics, so cool

Bluecoats took it to a new level with the microphones, but Glassmen had used metallic flags for the sound effects in their 2011 show.

Carolina crowns snare vocoder trick should have made the cut!

The Bluecoats flag feature was one of the most effective moments in all of DCI this year. Such a creative idea that the members executed wonderfully

Hell yeah! Finally someone putting spotlight on audio with drum corps. We need better audio education for those in the marching arts because man are there many uneducated folks teaching groups haha Love it! Keep it up

The Bluecoats flag feature is one of my favorite moments also. The colorguard is such and important aspect that many don't seem to repesct enough.

I'm glad someone finally did a video on the top audio moments from DCI 2024. I was really blown away by the special audio effects being used this year on the field, and finally we have someone here who has addressed the issue with this video. As others have said throughout this year's DCI Season, "this is NOT your parents drum corps!"

Thanks for the shoutouts! Some great audio moments from all groups this year.

The most annoying thing about this video is that you put 3 things that should not be in drum corps it just bothers me you put in a trombone, a turn table, and a GUITAR!!!! And you put the only good solo that wasn’t based on a guitar or something electronical last

What were your favorite audio moments from the 2024 DCI season?

Nice work!
