How to Install the New MainStage 3 for Apple

If you're trying to install the new MainStage 3 on your Apple device, but it's not working as expected, don't worry - you're not alone. As a novice user of MainStage myself, I've experienced some issues while setting up this software. But with a little troubleshooting, you can get up and running in no time.

One common issue that I encountered was when the midi input node wasn't recognized correctly. The solution is simple: make sure you're using the 'no device' midi input node. This might seem counterintuitive, but trust me - it works!

Another feature that MainStage offers is its ability to host VST plugins. Yes, you read that right - not just AU plugins, but also VST, VST3, and AU plugin versions come bundled with the software. I was surprised by this, as I had assumed that MainStage would only support AU plugins.

But what about VST plugins? Well, it turns out that there aren't many standalone VST hosts available for MacOS. In fact, aside from Gig Performer and DAWs, there's hardly anything available for Mac users. That's why I was thrilled to stumble upon Element by Kushview - a free VST host that works seamlessly with my MacOS device.

As an avid user of Spitfire LABS virtual instruments, I was excited to try out MainStage 3. However, I soon realized that the software only supports AU format plugins, whereas LABS is available in VST only. This meant that I had to look for alternative solutions to get my virtual instrument up and running.

After some research, I decided to install MainStage 3 on my new laptop - a 16-inch Macbook Pro with an i9 processor, 32GB of memory, and 8GB of video memory. So far, the software has been working smoothly, and I've been able to experiment with various plugins and settings.

If you're experiencing any issues with installing or setting up MainStage 3 on your Apple device, don't hesitate to reach out for help. With a little patience and troubleshooting, you should be able to get started with this powerful software in no time.
