Can you make a review of the Yamaha s80 specially of the piano sounds you know the most use sounds. Will help me a lot. I might buy one pretty soon. God bless you.

Unrelated question driven by curiosity. I have several custom patches and plugins I have bought and installed for use in both protools and mainstage. I am looking at building a massive custom setup in mainstage. Using more instruments, is usually hard on the system. If I create a mute control on my midi control surface and mute patches which are not being used at any specific moment, will that save me CPU power? So for instance if I have mainstage pianos, Addictive keys and Synthogy ivory setup on my custom mainstage setup, will I save CPU power if I mute two of these pianos and only use one? If not what will be my solution if I want to create a custom setup with tonnes of instruments. Thanks

Muting unnecessary instruments should help. If you're reaching the limits of your computer's capabilities, you can: - get a faster computer - stream your samples (like Ivory) from a fast external hard drive - use less-intensive plug-ins - increase your audio buffer settings (which increases latency)

[@esongsore]

OurWorshipSound thank you very much for the prompt response. Fortunately, I have not gotten to the limit of my computers capabilities yet. I am just worried I might. Its an i7 15''MBP with 16 gig ram and a SSD. GOD richly bless you.

Hi want to ask in sends where we send bus to an effects. How do I remove e.g.. I have sends reverb, delay, space D etc. I know you can turn off but it still sits in channel strip how do I completely remove that send from a channel strip to keep it neater. Please help.

Hello there. Is there any way to import more than 1 patch at once instead of importing one by one ?

[@angushsiao]

Great Help

[@josephbathula5116]

Hi thankyou for make this video to helpful did you make another video for me (how to create a instrument patch) and may god bless you.

[@OurWorshipSound]

Hi Joseph, thanks! Below are two videos which may help. For a more clear sequence of learning to use Mainstage, I think you'll find this to be really helpful: ourworshipsound.com/mainstagecourse/ :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6O0oI2bZphpmJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJW1c5ijZ76obNU

Hi Thank you for your great work and all the videos you have done. God bless you. I have a question with Mainstage patches and Stems. How can I export a patch with the stems together. I'm a worship leader of a small church and I play the guitar with some multitracks. My idea is to have all songs on a hard drive as patches and the create a set for a service. Thank you for your help. Marco

[@justinshapovalov8116]

Hi Marco. I have your same question. Did you ever find out how to do this?

[@swingfonic]

THANKS for the video. I have a question. I have saved all patches, but the channel strip settings are overwritten in each patch with the same settings. Please help.

[@OurWorshipSound]

Could you give more details?

[@yodabaggins]

Very pedagogical and informative video! Thanks! However, this didn´t solve the problem I hoped it would, so I´m posting a comment here, and hopefully you may be able to help me when you find the time. Exporting/importing patches doesn´t seem to save the keyboard mappings/assignments?? I have a tonewheel organ patch that I made mappings for to control drawbars and so on with my hardware. It works in the original concert where I created it, but when I save and import the patch to another concert, all the hardware mappings are gone... How do I solve this? Do you know? Thanks in advance! Regards, /Adam

[@OurWorshipSound]

+yodabaggins If the Layout is different from the Concert in which you made the patch assignments, you'll have to redo to the assignments

[@Jayell42]

If you have a patch, for example a pad, which takes up 3 channel strips, how do you merge them into 1?

[@OurWorshipSound]

"Patch" is kind of a confusing term. A patch is a collection of settings at any given time. That includes any number of channel strips. So you can't merge channel strips into one channel strip, but you can include them all in one patch for exporting and importing.

[@Jayell42]

Thanks! How do you put 3 channel strips into one in order to export it? Also, how do you use a scripter? For example, the one I found online called "Sustain"..

[@OurWorshipSound]

No idea on the scripter. If you have a patch with three channel strips (for example, three different keyboard layers) they all export with the patch.
