Why PROFESSIONALS Play 100% LIVE with MainStage 3!!! (Part 1)

🎯 I'm ditching onboard sounds from physical keyboards and sound modules and playing LIVE with 100% softsynth virtual instruments!!!

I recommend the Mac Mini (2012 Version) NOT the newer models from 2014/15...
Mac Mini VS Macbook:
1. Dollar to Dollar the Mac Mini + Monitor + keyboard + trackpad is less expensive than a comparable Macbook Pro with similar specs.
2. If something happens to my monitor/keyboard/trackpad, I can easily and quickly pick up another one from a store nearby... If something happens to the screen on a Macbook, I'd be without my entire computer until it is repaired.
3. For some reason, EVERY Macbook I've owned, I have to buy multiple power cables (strange, but I haven't had this problem with my Macbook Air... also, EVERY Macbook Pro that I've owned (3 different ones) all have had to go to the Apple store for one reason or another, from a faulty screen to the motherboard, to the keyboard keys being stuck, or popped off...etc....
4. I ONLY prefer the Macbook over the Mac Mini in the area of "convenience"... You can simply turn the Macbook and get started on your work, without any cables or wires... The Mac Mini has to be powered up via a power cable at all times... So, I only travel and use it at home and at church - what I did was I purchase an extra power cable, 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 trackpads... One stays at home and the other remains at church, so I just grab the box and throw it in my back - no cables, nothing but the Mac Mini!!! ;)

The wisdom of this whole clip was about "dying empty." That is powerful doc. That is how you stay blessed. Good job. Enjoy all your clips.

I know I'm very late on this, but that chord progression puts me in Heaven every time I come across this video! I appreciate your gift K.C.

[TonyChungLive]

6 years later this is still frequn amazing.

"They can do a whole lot more" the same phrase we heard when digital synths killed off analog synths but now we all want our analog gear back hence the huge market for remakes&re-released gear. I run a hybrid rig with 3 keyboards linked tomy laptop but find myself reaching for my analog boards more often because of the real user interface...

[MikeyDee]

i dont know whether to concentrate on u demo-ing the software out or listen to those lovely chords man

[EzraBufford]

Your nice chords inspired me to turn around to my keyboard and record the hymn 'Come Thou Fount'. Awesome doc!

[JVRspoon]

The chords you played sounded so good that I started laughing

Main stage is incredible. Thank you for the video. Can you do a video on how to create you’re own template and how to add your own sounds?

[atonebuilder]

[mrwillgreen]

[christtempleleitchfield]

[SilverLocs]

Sir, this video alone has revolutionized my teaching techniques to my music ministry. you have opened a new door for me to teach music, parts and nuances. thank you very much.

[eoinodunlaing]

What a lovely touch you have-I'm giving you a big thumbs up Sir.

[jakejacobs]

Used Logic as a host for years. Upgraded my old version of Main Stage today. Btw..Ravenscroft 275 sounds excellent. As a Ivory user, that says allot. 

[johnpowerssongs]

thanks. i really enjoyed your video...but i really like your sign off the most. "i wanna die empty"....what a beautiful thing to say. so beautiful, it could be a song title. :)

[LyonsofJudah]

WWJS, man bro I almost busted into tears when you said you wanted to leave here empty. Thank you for enlighting and inspiring our minds and ways to be and do better. God bless your all, As He Is. chak.

[broken_radar]

I love your video! You are so pleasant to listen to and very helpful. I appreciate your expert opinions on this as well. Please keep doing more.

I'm tired of lugging around a MOX8, so I'm more than intrigued by your setup. I've already started pricing all of the hardware you use although I'll probably go with the laptop for portability. I have to say, the first time I watched this video, I had no clue what you were talking about.  But since I've done some research, including other software options, I've come back to this and each of the 10 times I've watched I learn something new. Thanks bro, can't wait for Part II.

[SuperWilliwill]

Man!, that software is off the chain.  That Ravens 275 is sweet!

[JSINGS]

Even though I don't play I find myself mesmerized by your videos.
