Mainstage for Vocals + Keyboard/Guitar

I'm quite new to Mainstage, and I would love to get some thoughts.
I want to run my vocals mic through Apogee Duet to Mainstage, and play my Midi Controller keyboard (through USB) at the same time. Does Mainstage have any templates etc for for vocals or is it just for instruments?
So basically what I'm asking is how can I setup Vocals and Midi Keyboard in Mainstage?
I also want to be able to do vocals and guitar at the same time (different inputs through Apogee Duet), but I suppose it's the same as my question above.
Thanks in advance!

For guitar, vocals, keyboard/drumpad controller, what is the best audio interface to use/record quality sound in Logic, Mainstage, Garageband, etc. (lowbudget)?

So many to choose from. im really just trying to record clean sounding electric guitar tracks now vocals in the future and keyboard/drumpad controller near future..(irrelevant but thought i should mention im in the market for a keyboard and drumpad controller combo hopefully will be usb or something) but i need a quality audio interface to use with Logic Pro 9 and all the stuff that comes with it (mainstage, etc) and also Garageband. I have heard so many different reviews about this or that but all in all i dont think i can afford an apogee except maybe the apogee One but it at 249 or whatever i feel like i could get alot more bang for my buck. Ive heard alot of good things about m-audio gear but i heard mixed reviews as well. If someone can just tell me what is the best interface in the 100-200$ range for the needs ive listed above...Any responses or advice greatly apprecitated.
Thanks

hi mm
there are so many different sound cards out there these days it seems - ill just say that one that i got alot of use out of was the tascam 122 (http://www.tascam.com/Products/US-122.html)
it has 2 decent phantom powered XLR inputs, some midi stuff, a place to plug a guitar into and some nice big knobs.
the next level would be something with more ins (8 or 10) and probably firewire, and also around $400 i think.
oh, and your computer should be more than sufficient to handle what you want to do.

Can I use my iPad 2 with Mainstage 2 as a mixing surface for my keyboard rig?

How do I use ipad2 with mainstage as a mixing surface for my keyboard rig?

Hi Capp 543:
I don't really use it any more live, mainly because I use my iPad for reading music and don't want to switch around apps. I'm not part of the company, but I'll try.
IMO the iRig manual is way way too simplistic.
I am attaching some jpeg's of what helped me solve it, though it was tough. If it doesn't open, search Audio Midi Setup help for "sharing midi data over a network". You have to create a wireless session using Audio/Midi setup, OR create an "ad hoc" network using bluetooth if there's no wi-fi (another set of problems...). This may be your issue. There are a few things beyond getting the wireless network appearing that you have to do, that's why I'm suggesting this even though you did it, or a part of it.
In particular:
"Anyone" has to be set as who can connect to me in the lower left of the wireless midi setup screen, and
First get everything else ready, meaning the iPad connecting, THEN LiveRig has to be launched from closed, meaning do an icon hold and close in down iPad, then open it up for it to connect, when everything else is ready. for some reason that helped me.
In MainStage, you of course need to go to the MainStage #1 Setup screen, drag in sliders, then "learn" them to the LiveRig, which should now be seen when you click "learn" and move a Liverig slider. I have a vague recollection about not seeing iRig in the MainStage #1 top left device window, but then going into the drop-down menu there where the device shoudl be, selecting it, then learning the sliders. Then in the #2 Edit window you assign the sliders etc.
I would suggest first connecting it via midi wires and getting it to work, which will help you decide if a problem is in the wi-fi or somewhere else when you go to connect it up with wi-fi. You'd need the Apple Camera Connection kit adaptor. I myself would alway run it via midi if I'm playing live, too many unknowns with unknown networks.
Hope that helps.

Am trying to record a basic guitar track while I sing along. I don't want my vocals to be recorded at the same time but the internal mic seems to be picking up the vocal and guitar sounds. I tried System Preferences, Sound, Line In - Audio Line Input.

for me it turned out that the jack into the iMac was loose. Once I fiddled with it everything worked okay

Autocorrection for every keyboard not working in iOS 6

Apple promised at WWDC "Autocorrection for every keyboard". I am using a Bluetooth keyboard on an iPad 2 with iOS 6 and it's not working. The same is true on iPhone 5. I have it enabled in settings and it works with the virtual keyboard.

I have an iPhone 4 with current iOS.
I've noticed this over the past few months. I always notice it on the FB app. My short cuts stop working. I will check email or note. I figured restarting the phone would fix it.
Here's the thing. Obviously I use FB a lot, but this short cut issues never happens in text messages, Whatsapp, or email. Always with FB.
In fact I noticed that I get sluggish typing performance typing using the FB app whether I use the keyboard short cuts or not.
Just wondering if this common among iPhone 4 users.

Satellite Pro A300D - What is the model number for the keyboard?

My husband managed to dislodge a keycap on my keyboard, and broke the white scissor clip that holds hit on...(don't ask me how)
He spoke to the authorised service centre here in Norway, and they sent us replacement scissor clips (actually they sent an old non-functioning keyboard) but the clips are of a different design to the ones on my laptop.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.
I really don't want to have to replace the whole keyboard when it's just 1 of the scissor clips that is broken...the laptop is only 5 months old.
Here are some photos of the scissor clip in question & the where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry about the quality)

Hi
Sorry buddy but its not possible to exchange some single keys on a keyboard so in this case you must replace the complete keyboard. But normally this should not be so difficult.
Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the notebook to the authorized service provider.
The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP!! They can order all Toshiba parts and they should know the right part number.
Bye

When I start TI after I pointed it to my repository I get a message that no packages applicable were found. I did not download all the updates just a few to test it, will it not work unless all updates are downloaded?
Did you change status from test to active in UR before downloading? If not you can change the downloaded items in the manage repository menu.
Assuming the items you did download were not already installed on your client with TI it should work.

Save for Web keyboard key stroke not worky

I'd swear I've asked or seen this discussed in these forums...but I can find no thread, even when I search for my own screen name. At any rate, I think it also happened to me back in version 6. I'm now in version 8 on a Mac.
The symptoms are the same as the last time this happened. The "shortcut" key strokes (on the Mac) are command + shift + option + S (probably use 'alt' instead of 'option and "control' instead of 'command' on Windows?). This will usually show a brief darkening of the File menu, but nothing else happens. Until...the same keys are pressed again! Of course, mousing to the menu item works fine, but I have managed to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome and still press all four keys with one hand! Sometimes I get my cat to help...
Since Adobe is gracious enough to provide about three dozen various pref files, it should be a breeze to start archiving them and deleting the originals. NOT! However, in my searching for the likely pref file, I have discovered that the "Adobe Save For Web 8.0 Prefs" file seems to be AWOL on my System! I have over a dozen backups of that file in Time Machine, despite the fact that they all show exactly the same Modified date, which would normally be the only reason TM would save another copy of the file. This may also indicate why the settings for the Save For Web dialog never remember the last used settings; the file thinks it is getting written to but never changes its Modified date even thought that 'state' is obviously recognized by the OS. But that's all beside the point and I digress...
SO...does anyone remember the 'trick' for getting PSE 6/8 to remember the Save For Web keystrokes the first time they are used, instead of waiting for 'verification?'
Thanks!

Uh oh. You should have had an uninstaller in the PSE 8 folder in applications. I'm afraid you may have set yourself up for bigger problems by doing it this way. You may well find that you will eventually need to download and run the CS4 cleanscript to get straightened back out again.
You may be correct, but I've had no other problems after all the different un-install methods. The only pieces that are hard to find are those that Adobe chooses to hide deep in System areas. I suppose since they were one of the first Mac developers, they think they have special capabilities to put stuff any and every where they want. As well as special dispensation to do things anti-Mac ways. I can't claim to be a power-user, but I have never, ever felt the need to purchase/use any special "uninstaller" app. And I can't think of another app I've ever owned that even needed an "uninstaller" for it. That includes Canvas, php, Apache setups, etc. Frankly, and this is simply my opinion and obviously of little importance to absolutely no one else, the way Adobe does things seems to be extremely un-organized, not-well-thought-out and downright non-Mac. The only thing even marginally close to their confusing instal/uninstall process is Stanford's Folding@home set up. It sometimes requires a few Terminal commands...
I will perform a search for that CS4 "clearscript" thing, however. Thanks!
Even the response I got from my Support post assured me that...
reset/restore the Preferences, click Yes or OK . Now try to use the "Save for Web" keyboard command by pressing "Alt+Shift+Crtl+S". I am positive that after following the above steps your issue will be resolved .
OK, I get the rest/restore step. but what does the "alt+shift+Crtl+S" have to do with anything? It certainly is not the keyboard short cut for the Mac version of Elements. Perhaps the chap didn't notice the details in my message or the hardware/software information that came with my request for help. I find it strange that somehow the language differences cause the tech's positive belief that his steps would fix the issue that he also presents:
If the issue is still not resolved then please send us the below mentioned information so that we can provide you with the best possible resolution:-
1. Have you recently made any changes to your computer?
2. Are you logged in as administrator ?
3. Does the issue persist on another system or another user account ?
4. Do you get any error message while pressing the combination of "Alt+Shift+Crtl+S" keys on the keyboard? if yes then send us the screen shot of the error message that you are getting
5. Please provide the exact system Configuration with details along with the Versions.
Every single one of those questions was included with the initial message I sent.
I suspect that the problem is, indeed, in my System, somewhere. I installed Elements on my wife's MBP and it operated normally, even the command+option(alt)+shift+S command. So, when I get some time this week, I'll start up in Safe mode and see if that helps. If not, I'll start removing third-party Pref Panels and apps, a few at a time. If none of that helps, I may try retrieving files from Time Machine. As a last effort, I can always do an Archive and (re)Install of Snow Leopard. I'm just not sure it's worth all the effort to get one measly short cut... The only thing I know for sure is that I will not be seeking any more help from Adobe's "tech support." Why bother, they don't/can't even read the messages their own system sends!

Part number for Envy keyboard

I have an HP Envy Sleekbook, model B5Q41UA#ABA HP ENVY 6-1014nr NB PC US
I need to get a replacement keyboard for it. Does anyone know the part number for this keyboard?
It's a royal pain extracting the keyboard and I've already ordered one through ebay which was the wrong one. I've searched by model number and I can't find any hits. Often different models use the same parts, so if anyone knows another model that uses the same parts, that would be great. The keyboard part number would be the ideal solution though.
BTW, I spilled water on the keyboard so it's not covered under warranty. I also can't wait for the repair if I were to send it out for repair. I'm using a usb keyboard and mouse in the meantime.
Thanks.

Where can I order a cyrillic liser engraving for my keyboard on Macbook Pro 15" ?

Hi everybody, sorry for the wrong topic but can somebody tell me where can I order a cyrillic liser engraving for my keyboard on Macbook Pro 15" in Wisconsin or New York?

I've never heard of anyone anywhere offering that service. I suggest instead you look for a keyboard cover or replacement keyboard. For keyboard covers do a google search. For a keyboard, ask these folks:

Rechargable Batteries for Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

I'm wondering if rechargeable batteries are compatible with the Wireless Keyboard & Mouse, and if so, what types does Apple recommend? I'm constantly going through regular batteries to power these devices. Thanks.

I bought some ordinary rechargable batteries from Maplin Electronics (AA NiMH) and they were perfect (even came with an AC charger) for £9.99 (they supplied 6 and 2 AAA), so perfect for the keyboard.
Hope that helps.

PC key caps for iMac keyboard

I am planning to switch from PC to iMac as soon as the 2012 iMac becomes available (whenever that may be). Since I use my current desktop for work and gaming, I plan to run Boot Camp with Windows 7 all the time. I prefer the look and feel of the iMac keyboard, but would still prefer a PC keyboard layout, so I my question is this: where can I buy PC keycaps on the iMac keyboard. The keys in questions would be:
iMac key     PC key
cmd left       alt
cmd right     alt gr
alt left          windows
alt right        menu
f13               insert
f14               print screen
f15               pause/break
I have found several websites that sell replacement keycaps for iMac keyboards, but I have not found any that sell PC keycaps for iMac keyboards. Any tips?

Thanks, The hatter, but I would prefer to keep the iMac keyboard since I really like its look and feel. No idea where I can buy PC keycaps for it?
I just strikes me, wouldn't this be something Apple could sell to custmers that buy iMacs to use primarily with Windows? I mean, since switching to Intel processors and offering Bootcamp, Windows would as natural a choice for iMac users as OS X?

Satellite P300 - is there a backlight for the keyboard?

Hi - does anyone know if the Satellite P300 has a back light for the keyboard? I am assuming it does as the keys are shiny black but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it on. Any assistance is appreciated.

As far as I know illuminated keyboard will be offered with new notebook series A500 and P500.
I am 100% sure Satellite P300 has not such keyboard.
You can check specifications for different Satellite /Satellite pro P300 models and you will see that nowhere is mentioned such keyboard.

Is there a app for T9 keyboard!!!

I currently have a droid and i'm thinking about switching to a Iphone.. I read reviews for T keyboard they all said there isn't any but the reviews are a few years old.. didn't know if something new came out..I found some but you have to copy and paste the words into messaging don't want anything like that. If i have to jail break my iphone for a T9 keyboard i will do so.. Please help!

Hi,
I too am asking this same question.
I currently have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray and it has the wonderful feature of being able to seamlessly move between phone keypad input and Qwerty by simple rotation of the handset - the best of both worlds.
Oddly enough after 8 months using this phone I find that most of the time I want to use the keypad T9 predictive input. It is faster and I can use it single handed and type with my left thumb. Also I don't need to get my glasses out to see the keyboard as it is much larger. I can actually type a text without even looking, if necessary. I've also done a speed and accuracy test and find that the keypad wins every time for me.
But for work purposes I'm going to have to move to an iphone eventually. But this lack of T9 (and the rediculous monthy cost £36 compared to £20) is making me stick with the Xperia Ray up to now.
This MultiTap text is presumably also T9 predictive? But you say it wont integrate easily with the iphone?? Do you mean if you need to reply to a text you have to call up the app...it doesn't just appear as an option?
Many Thanks
