Thank you so much Brian, your video is still helping people. I'm starting a Trio here in Spain and just discovered MainStage, watching you do this has saved me a ton of time.

I'm brand new to MacBook Pro, Logic Pro X, and MainStage 3. You may have just saved me from throwing it all back in the box and returning it. Thank you!

Thank you Brian Nagel! This has been a big help except that the newest version of mainstage 3 that I just downloaded has different options chen it comes to the Channel Strips. I followed your setup exactly until it came to the mapping. The Channel Strips totally do not match anymore. A couple of the instruments work but the others don't and the buttons don't light up at all. But it's a good start and I appreciate the help you've given us. It would be great if someone did the same using the newer version of Mainstage 3. Thanks again!!

THIS was a great hands-on tutorial for everybody! Now I know how to program my next show using MainStage. Any chance to post a Part 2? I wonder what the Part 2 would be about .... ;)

Your video was very helpful to this rookie Mainstage 3 user. Do you have a video on assigning keyboard buttons to trigger patch changes? Thanks again!

Hi Brian, great video. I could never get my master fader vu meeter to move and I noticed on your video yours isn't moving either. I mapped it to Master / Volume just as you described. Not the end of the world but it would be cool to see it move. Cheers!
