Mainstage for keys & vocal

Hi all,

 

I'm in the process of choosing a MacBook. I'm also in the process of seeing what programs will give me what I need and the best audio interface.

 

My budget it around $1300 for the PC and then in a few months add program & audio interface.

 

I want MAudio Keystation Pro-88 to control layered sounds and I want to record those sounds and record the lead vocal without FX so I can go back and edit them later.

 

Is this something that would be better in Mainstage, or Logic?

 

Thanks

I would think it would be easier to record and edit in Logic unless we are talking about a live show with Mainstage and you want to save loops recorded or something similar?

Here's what I do now:

 

Mic into Harmony-M into mixer

M-Audio ProKeys 88 into mixer, using a layered sound of piano & pad or piano & organ

Nano iPod into mixer out to sound system & monitor

 

What I'd like to do:

 

Mic into Hamony-M out into 2 channels, one for lead & one for harmonies

M-Audio Prokeys 88 into mixer, but also add some layered sounds from the virtual instruments that I can select from song to song.

 

I would like to have this mixed into the MacBook so I can later edit it and make it sound better.

 

Hope this makes sense!

 

Thanks
