New to Mainstage but I have one question.

Question

Hi guys,
I'm new to Mainstage, but not to Logic.
Anyway, I have one rather complicated question before I dig though all the manuals.
Here is the set up that I want to achieve. My buddy has an I-Mac, I have a MacBook. What we have been doing involving logic is that I have 3 Guitar rig 4's going. A stereo pair for each Guitar rig. I am able to switch between the rigs with a single guitar input. While in each rig I use my FCB 1010 controller and make loops. After a loop is made I switch to a different guitar rig and make a 2nd loop. After that I go to the 3rd guitar rig and play leads over the first 2 loops. These are all going to separate tracks in my firnds I-Mac where he has drum machines going and he is playing his keyboards. We record all this in real time. Logic can sort of handle this, but not really all that well and I get some strange behaviors.
In Mainstage, I know you can use the mobius looper which is similar to the Gibson Echoplex that I used to own. The mobius doesn't work too well in Logic so that's why I don't use it there. It doesn't sync in Logic, but I think that it might in Mainstage. What I want to do is have one instance of guitar rig and 2 to 3 instances of the mobius looper.
Here is my question finally. Can I use my FCB1010 to control the distort, delay, and other various effects in Guitar rig 4 while playing loops in a Mobius looper. Then move to another looper, play more loops, then go the 3rd track and play over the loopers? I would need separate outs for each looper or guitar track, which I have with my Presonus Firebox. The whole time I would need to sync Mainstage with my friends master clock coming out of his I-Mac.
Can this be done?
I know it sounds like a complicated set up, and maybe it is, if there is an easier way that has sync of the loopers, and I can run hands free with my one guitar, Presonus interface, and Behringer FCB1010 I would really like to know.
I find for some reason that I have crazy set ups that nobody has ever tried before. I'm hoping that is not the case with this.
Thank you for reading my long winded post and I hope to hear from you soon.

Answer 1

Well, are you using the looper tool in mainstage, or a different looper?
I'm thinking that there is a way to us guitar rig as my main sound source and route into other tracks (bussing it over) and have loopers enabled in those other tracks. That way I can lay down a rhythm in one track, move to the next track, do the same looping with a different guitar patch, move to the 3rd track and play with even a different sound while the other loops are going in the first two tracks.
Is that what you do? Do you play live and have synced to another source?
Thank you,
Shawn
