kengetz Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Performing in a "broadway"-style pit, and have two concerts set up, one for each act of the show. I also have created concerts for the second keyboard. The other pianists' concerts work fine. No matter what machine I run this on, my two concerts seem "corrupted"--that is, Mainstage 2 crashes all the time. Most often, it crashes while saving changes, but it often crashes when I load one of the, and them press a note. If I then reload the concert, it works fine. Mainstage rarely crashes in Perform mode, only in edit mode. Any suggestions? Any way to resurrect a corrupted concert?

Assuming your concert loads ok (mine didn't) I'd suggest troubleshooting by removing your patches one by one to see if any of them are causing the problem.

kengetz Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Nice idea, but there are something like 150 patches in the concert, and the saving problem is intermittent -- happens around every other time I save. I can't believe there isn't a way to save the concert to a "text-based format", and then reimport it, or do some other diagnostics on it. How can there be a program that's used for live performance that has such a fragile file format, and that can't be resurrected on failure? This is unacceptable. A $500 waste of money. Thanks, though. - -Ken Performing in a "broadway"-style pit, and have two concerts set up, one for each act of the show. I also have created concerts for the second keyboard.

mmm42 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Actually the file format is a bundle, you can open it and see all sets/patches and channel strip settings in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Burgess Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Repeat crashes can are usually corrupted plists. Until you delete them the app will hang in unusual ways. Go to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.mainstage.plist MainStage will now create a fresh one. If you hang again look carefully at the 'report to apple' crash log. If it's a third party plug it will show up as a crashed thread. bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
