Create A Click Track In Mainstage

Posted on 19:18 by Unknown
My Click Track Controls
Using click tracks have started to become a standard practice for many worship teams as it can really tighten up your timing and make it much easier to integrate loops and timed effects. What's great about using the internal metronome in Mainstage is that it will automatically change to the tempo you set for each patch. It can also be routed to alternate outputs so you can send it to your team's in-ear monitors without sending it to the main mix. Here is a quick and easy setup guide.

Step 1 - Create An On-Screen Control
Go to Layout Mode and create a button on your screen and then assign it to a button on your MIDI controller so that you can trigger your click track live. I have integrated my on-screen click button with the Tempo info and MIDI message light so I can see all related info in one easy place.

Step 2 - Assign Your Control To The Metronome
Go back to Edit Mode and click on the concert level. This is important because you want the click to work on all patches inside the concert. Once you're there, click on the button you created and go down to the Screen Control Inspector and select Actions > Metronome. You can now press the button on screen or the assigned MIDI controller button and you should hear the click start and stop.

Step 3 - Assign The Metronome To Alternate Outputs
If you have an audio interface with multiple outputs you can easily assign it to a different set of outputs to be fed to your team's in-ears. Go to Mainstage > Preferences, go to the Metronome section and select the Output drop down menu and select the outputs you want to send the metronome to.

Setting Up Stylus RMX In Mainstage - Step 1

Posted on 12:02 by Unknown
Per a commenter's request I have started working on a video series that shows you how to setup Stylus RMX in Mainstage. In Step 1 I walk you through setting up a software channel to load Stylus RMX into, where to load it, and how to get it setup to make sound out of your interface. In the next video (coming soon) I'll show you the second step which is creating on screen controls for Stylus RMX. Enjoy!


This video is best watched in HD or at a higher resolution than just what shows up in this blog post so if you click the video after it starts playing it will open up YouTube and you can watch it in HD.
