Saw the same thing a Foster the People concert (hey the HOB tixx were free - lol). He was right in front of me and I could see his Macbook Pro running MainStage 2 patches for each song on the SetList. LPX is a loss-leader for Apple, and not a core cash cow like PT is for Avid - but such small moves like input monitoring wouldn't devalue HD, imho.īut back on MainStage - I remember going to a Moody Blues show a couple years back and having sucky seats off at the side near their hired touring keyboard guy.
I love mixing in PT Native, but for $599 I do wish they would unchain a few tiny things like per track input monitoring control (since CPTK is gone, this is an HD-only feature again, among other things). Most PT VI users have likely long-ago branched out to 3rd party VI favorites anyway. Just extra brushes for the pallette - toss Soundflower at it and make some fun VI noises in PT11 until AIR releases IEP.Īvid's emphasis for out-of-box stand-alone composition is minimal nowadays, since mixing/tracking workflow is PT's real bread and butter.

So that makes snagging Mainstage 3 for all those VIs $30 attractive for Mac DAW users. You're spending an additional $199 for upcoming AIR IEP AAX64 (or $99 for upgrade), or buying NI Komplete (not even AAX64 yet) for more $$, only to get some parity w/ LPX stock content. MainStage 3. It's amazing how much updated content Apple throws at LPX/Mainstage when you look at what you get w/ Creative Collection in PT Native for $599. For instruments youd like to play back using MainStage sounds. +1 Yep, AIR being untethered from PT-only (w/ the exception of contractual obligs for Creative Collection) allows them to support other host plug formats including AU 64bit. Connecting MainStage 3 to Finale adds a DAW extension to Finale, giving access to a huge.
