no one use mainstage 2 in Logic Studio for church reasons?
Most of the time, you would see on live recording dvds, the MD either has a laptop in front the keyboard or on the side for easy access. The MD is either running:
--Mainstage
--Logic
--ProTools
--Reasons
to have a backing track for the band or for sounds (buy some living recording dvds, and notice the equipment)
I guess its too expenses, but computerware gives you more sounds... you can have a motif, fantom, and triton all in one keyboard....
---your not stuck with the original preset sounds on your board, you can be creative and make up your own sound also
---dont have to drag a heavy keyboard to your church(if you have one keyboard, but multi- churches to play for, like me), can buy a midi board for 200.00, less or more. Its very light, you can carry it with one hand .
--- Can do backing tracks for songs (record parts of the song that you can not physically play, while playing the core of the song)
--- all you would need on sunday is your laptop...it has everything you need to get the job done.
Laptop software has no limitations... Thats what makes it great, and more and more musicians will start noticing and start doing the same.
Jamal Hartwell has two youtube videos on this:
