Re: OT: In praise of Mainstage

[<bsgood@adelphia.net>]

I've used Mainstage for a few live gigs, and it's worked flawlessly. But 
last week, when I booted it up ten minutes before a gig, it started 
complaining about a conflict between MIDI and/or audio drivers, and 
refused to work at all, even after restarting both Mainstage and the 
computer. Fortunately, I had enough hardware with me that I could still 
play, though with a greatly-reduced pallette, and lots of grumpy language.

I'm partway through swapping out drivers to try to identify the guilty 
one, but don't have anything conclusive yet. I don't know if this is 
properly considered a Mainstage problem, but Logic shows no such problem 
on the same machine.
