You’re a busy worship leader at a growing church with a bunch of volunteer musicians every weekend. Everyone’s been practicing hard on the songs all week, but when you get onstage, something just doesn’t sound right.
It’s the keyboardist again. She’s playing the right notes, but she just isn’t able to get the right sounds out of that older keyboard. Even if there was money in the budget to buy a new keyboard, it would take hours of time each week and advanced technical knowledge to get the presets to sound like the original recordings. What’s the solution?
Fortunately, there’s an incredibly easy, inexpensive way to get around this problem every week.
Mainstage 3
Apple just released an amazing new version of their popular live performance software, Mainstage 3, just a few months ago. It’s completely re-inventing the way keyboardists play their music live.
Mainstage 3 acts as a main keyboard (it generates all of the sounds that a normal keyboard would), but is triggered using a midi controller hooked into the Mac computer running the software.
Mainstage is so much more than just a keyboard- it has studio-quality effects and sample libraries that far out-perform any hardware synth on the market today. The sounds are all directly taken from Apple’s DAW Logic Pro X, and they can be designed to sound exactly like any keyboard sound you’ll hear on a praise album.
Setup is super-simple. All you need is a Mac computer and an inexpensive midi controller (you can often use the midi-capable keyboard you already own using a usb to midi interface) and you’re good to go. And with Mainstage 3 costing a ridiculously low $29.99, you can afford to buy a copy for every keyboard player on your team, allowing them to practice, tweak, and perform with Mainstage 3 on their own laptop.
Patches from Loop Community
Mainstage 3 is a wonderful tool for live performance, but by itself there’s still the problem of getting the sounds in Mainstage 3 to sound exactly like the original recording. Enter Patches by Loop Community.
Loop Community is the best place on the internet to find custom worship presets that you can instantly load into a variety of music software programs, including Mainstage 3. Want to find that pulsing synth intro on “Strength Will Rise”? With one click, you’ve got it. Need that mellotron-ish strings and piano for “Give Me Your Eyes”? It’s as simple as searching Loop Community’s database of patches.
Once you’ve downloaded the sound you like for Mainstage 3, it’s as simple as dragging it into your Mainstage project. All of the sounds, notes, arpeggiators, and effects will automatically load into your project, ready for next time you take the stage.
Loop Community offers most of the patches for only $1.99, with some presets available for free. There’s no restrictions on these patches, either- you can share them with your entire team and modify them all you want.

What's new in MainStage 3.5.2:
- This update contains stability improvements and bug fixes
Read the full changelog The Apple vetted audio mixing application, MainStage, provides a wide collection of amazing tools that will help you create professional sound effects and deliver heart stopping performances.
To keep you focused, MainStage comes with a full screen interface that will also eliminate the potential of an embarrassing faux pas during live shows. Additionally, the high contrast effects combined with the high resolution capabilities will help you distinguish the controls from a distance.
MainStage provides support for over 80 different instruments, enables you to apply different audio effects and is able to work with Audio Units and MIDI plug-ins. You can easily import the sounds collection from your GarageBand or Logic Pro app: this way you can combine pre-recorded tracks with live audio and instruments.
At the same time, you can mix different tracks, modify the tempo, add transition effects or change the order without having to deal with complex settings. To streamline your workflow, you can connect MIDI devices to the app, assign an onscreen control to a physical control and then make the necessary adjustments without having to deal with the actual device.
MainStage enables you to adjust a wide collection of sound parameters and the multimapping feature allows you to significantly change the audio effect at the press of a button. Of course, you can design your own layout: arrange your knobs, meters, buttons and faders exactly the way you want to.
Last but not leasts, you can use instrument plug-ins and apply different patches to your output audio. The MainStage sound library includes 1500 instrument effects, 30 drum machine samples, 800 instrument samples and around 3600 Apple loops.
All in all, MainStage has the potential to be your best friend while performing: you can easily switch between patches without stoping the audio, control your hardware, use pre-recorded tracks and live audio at the same time and much more.
