MainStage Tips and Tricks: Using Loopback to do Live Looping!

[@TrunxKraft3000]

Thanks for this videos! I have two questions: 1. Does it quantize automatically once you’re down recording a pass? 2. Do you have the mutes for your different sounds mapped to a button or pad on your midi controller, so that you could drop out some of the parts if need be?

[@jakelucasmusic]

Thank you for making this video it’s awesome!!!

[@88KeysMan]

You are correct, sir. Understanding the concept takes you further than specific notes. Great video!

[@Johnmike]

+88KeysMan thanks!

[@hdosch]

Just downloaded Mainstage and was wondering how to do this. Now I know. Thanks so much!

[@bobbyallen7400]

it would be great to see which control you mapped that record button to.

[@balcony6989]

Hey John, great tutorial. I was just wondering, how did you make that sound for your 'lead' line?

[@Mediaformusicians]

It's from the gospel musicians pure some plugin

[@Mediaformusicians]

Sorry commented from the wrong KZbin account!

[@TimRosemusic]

john how do you set loop length or change the tempo of the click -- can we make the click different subdivision than the song? like if i wanted 16ths even though the project is in quarter notes

[@dineshsthanki5203]

Thanks for a very useful tutorial

[@DoctorSpanner]

Thanks very much - this is really useful information

[@Nathanemil]

Almost seems like a work around compared to the ease of user loops in GB. Good insight, Good man!!

[@_modiX]

This is supposed to happen live, you cannot do that in GB live (so that it keeps playing the loop after recording seemingly). Correct me, if I'm wrong.

[@tomblack4437]

very helpful - thank you for the time. I have just starting using MainStage and the level of training was just right for me.

[@steveccase]

That is sharp! Thanks for sharing how to set it up.

[@davidrozelle2862]

Thank you

[@11kerol]

Thank you I just finished watching the whole video it explains thank you

[@Itsmypureworld]

Question: How to make the playback volume higher? My loop playback is way quieter than the input volume :(

[@b21960]

Great video JM. Thank you again. easy to understand and has many applications.

[@eliasafediasdesouza]

thanks for this video! God bless you!

[@eliasafediasdesouza]

can you tell me why my button sync on playback plug-in don't work?

[@flowav2391]

broooo thank you and those keys were so fire send over the wav!!! haha

[@KrystaleMusic]

Hi, love this tutorial! How do you set-up the record and stop buttons?

[@natefromdetroit]

+Krystale Music if you havent figured it out yet, you can assign the record button from loopback to any button you'be placed in the "layout" design window. In layout mode, map a button to a physical keyboard button or pedal, then assign the button to the loopback record button in the EDit menu. watch some youtubes on assign and mapping, if you get stuck let us know.

[@JimBabcock]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@kitsentertainmentstudios818]

Why is it if make a patch w/loopback i load a loop in the loopback then saved it as a patch but the next time i pull it in the original loop is changed/shuffled to other loops?

[@11kerol]

Hi john with you click how would it self play as loop. Can you plz help thank you god bless

[@patrickdwyer320]

u a beast john, God Bless you brother

[@zanerichter3806]

Was your “click track” just a prepared percussion loop on another channel?

[@Johnmike]

Yes...in Gospel we often refer to drumloops as “click tracks” because they serve the purpose of keeping us on time

[@xtinabee1]

Wow this is great. Thank you so much

[@Kipster848]

Can you show how to setup a external usb controller keyboard to trigger internal keyboard and synth sounds

[@mariokirk2664]

hey Mike did you create all of this live ? Could the congregation hear you creating this loopback

[@Johnmike]

+Mario Kirk yes it's all done live..once you you get the hang of doing this on the fly it's all easy

[@champnessjack1154]

Really nicely done, thanks John.

[@Alfram]

if I wanted to record the performance how would you go about doing it? like say you record all the loops but you wnt to record the whole thing and make it a song or whatever.

[@Johnmike]

There’s a record button in the top of the main window that records everything

[@Alfram]

John Mike awesome thanks!

[@biggeemac]

love the videos that you have been doing. They all give me new ideas to try. Thanks !

[@edouardbray8561]

Nice to explain us. thank you :-D

[@TrackSP]

How do I make the loopback play when I select a different track when I put the loopback on a patch other than a bus?

[@kaiimusic9961]

Hello and thank you for this video. Do you know if loopback is available for windows? Can in be used with Pro Tools or Fruity Loops?

[@Johnmike]

+KAI Integrated Music no it's not...Mac only

[@steffi2635]

Thank you!!

[@tendingtropic7778]

could you also do this with external (hardware)l synths?

[@acehobojoe]

good video bud. I'm going to use loopback to do bpm and non bpm based loops

[@JaiveerM18]

can i control different loopback plugins using one midi controller. if yes, how?

[@natefromdetroit]

yes, thank you, you are a blessing and great instructor.

[@MikeTaylorPiano1]

Just what I’ve been looking for, bless you man

[@JaiveerM18]

when i switch instruments, the loop stops. how do i fix this?

[@intense0excellent]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@joelanderson8310]

That lead Whats the name of that lead please where can I get that lead

[@Johnmike]

That’s pure sine by gospel musicians

[@TheOneOnlyClickmeister]

Hi John angelo from The Worship Room Ministries Colombo sri lanka.. how may I download this... Bro?

[@Johnmike]

+The Worship Room its in the Apple Mac App Store

[@jayblaze1958]

Good video!

[@PlayitonPan]

Blessed 🔥🙌🏾😎🙏🏿💫

[@preciousfagbile9591]

Can you record on the main stage app?

[@Johnmike]

Yes

[@Johnmike]

Not multiple tracks though....just the main stereo channel

[@AmplifyIM]

Hey, this is really helpful. Thanks. -A

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

"Un-BPM-conscious" ... Played with a few drummers suffering from that xD

[@Anoobsession]

why are all the tutorials i've seen on this topic, made by those in worship bands or whatever lmao

[@rikirex2162]

yes...great, but is not a loop machine as such... can not compare with a real loop machine and use in a live situation and with the same freedom.
