  1. So with that would I somehow be able to send all the hardware instruments (Drums, bass, my Korg KROME piano, any microphones etc) in the band to my Soundcraft mixer, then send all the individual audio from there to Mainstage on my mac, ready to be looped and manipulated at my will?
  2. Hello all I am looking at creating a live setup in which I can loop myself and band members on stage, and affect everyones instruments with effects from logic and native instruments. The band consists of myself on keys, a guitarist, a drummer and a bassist. Firstly I am aware of the possibility of looping Logic Pro instruments using the Loopback plugin in Mainstage, but is it possible to send audio to my laptop and loop that live (as opposed to MIDI)? Essentially I want a global click track playing for all the band members, and for all their instruments to be routed to me and looped within my laptop, where I can then control when they come in and out, where I can control the effects of each instrument etc. I have a soundcraft signature 12 MTK mixing desk that might help with channeling this, and a Maschine Mikro I can use to control Mainstage, but please excuse my noob level in this area, I pretty much don't know what I'm doing. I am using sounds from Logic Pro X and Native Instruments on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of ram and 125GB of memory, running NI off a 2TB lacie hard drive, thunderbolt / 8,000-10,000ish rpm, High Sierra 10.13.3. I hope what I have said has made sense, if anyone has any setup solutions that will enable me to accomplish this I cannot tell you how grateful I would be, would make a huge difference to what we could do live. Thank you in advance! (NOTE: I am running Native Instruments of an external hard drive which I am aware my cause some problems with CPU usage...unfortunately due to the fact that macs nowadays seem to be non-upgradeable I am stuck with my 8GB of ram and 125GB of memory. However if I can loop audio live in mainstage then I should barely need NI at all.) (NOTE 2: Also note I have NEVER used Mainstage so am not au fait with how it works.)
  3. I apologise it is in fact 3.0. I think the lead is pretty rubbish though....
  4. It is, yes. I am purchasing a 3.0 or thunderbolt soon, will this have a significant impact do you think?
  5. Hello all, I am struggling greatly with the System Overload message in Logic Pro X and have been now for about a month. I think I have figured out when it does it but still have no idea why. Basically it seems that every time I save a project for the first time, it will save and then upon attempting the first playback post save it System Overloads and will do for the rest of its life, as if that project is tainted somewhat. I have tried saving to different locations including an external hard drive, same result. It may be important to note that I am using Native Instruments via my external hard drive (which is a 500GB Lacie - I plan on upgrading to a G-Drive or SSD soon). The projects that previously system overloaded seemed to actually playback when I cleared NI off my lacie completely, so it seems to be connected to having to run the software through the lacie. To anyone wondering I cannot install Native Instruments on my laptop as there is nowhere near enough memory to even store it all. Besides it is completely possible to run it off an external hard drive, as I have done in the past. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE help, as you all will know it is so exhausting spending the majority of your time trying to get things working as opposed to making music, and even more debilitating not being able to work AT ALL. Thanks in advance.
