  1. I've read on a couple of posts that Mainstage 2 doesn't seem to be as strictly single-core as Mainstage 1 was. Have you all found this to be true? What is the behavior of Mainstage 2 when the CPU gets maxed-out or does it get maxed-out as easily?
  2. Thanks for your reply! So just to be clear, in Mainstage 2 I could load a large symphonic orchestra into Kontakt, and use that same orchestral sound within a singular instance of Kontakt across multiple scene changes during a live performance. Is that correct? In Mainstage 1, you had to load a separate instance of Kontakt {and the orchestra} for every scene change you wanted it to appear in.
  3. In the previous version of Mainstage, you had to load a new instance of Kontakt for each scene change in Mainstage. This ate up RAM pretty quickly and was very inefficient. Has this been improved in Mainstage 2?
  4. Hello. I have been using Logic 8 with an iMac 2.4ghz 4GB running a lot of intensive plugins from Waves, Spectrasonics, Native Instruments. We are considering an upgrade to a new 4-core or 8-core MacPro but wanted to see if anyone has any idea of the kind of improvement we're likely to see. Apple gives no Logic performance benchmarks on its new Macs. We don't want to spend several thousand $$$ for only a modest improvement in speed, reliability and performance. Thanks.
  5. Greetings. I am running Mainstage on a dual-core iMac with 4Gigs of Ram running at 2.4ghz. Using the same the AU plugins and effects on Mainstage as in Logic, the Mainstage CPU meter hovers between 60% and 90%. This is twice the 30%-45% CPU meters in Logic. Can I assume then that Mainstage only uses 1 core in a dual-core configuration? In a quad-core computer, would it use 2 cores? Any idea why the developers chose this route? Thanks!
