Using Audio Devices with MainStage

MainStage works with CoreĀ Audio-compliant audio devices, including FireWire, USB, ExpressCard, and PCI audio interfaces. You can connect microphones, electronic musical instruments, and other musical equipment to your computer, or to an audio interface or other audio device, and use them with MainStage.

MainStage can require a large amount of available RAM, particularly when playing sample-based software instruments. It is recommended that you test your system and the concerts you plan to use before you perform using MainStage to make sure there is enough available memory to select and play the patches you want to use without causing audio drop-outs or distortion. For more information about choosing audio drivers, see Setting MainStage Preferences.
