Q: How to change the audio output for the Metronome
Hi
I want to route the Metronome (and vocal cues) to in-ear monitors for live performance.
I understand I can do this in MainStage by using different outputs for the above tracks vs the rest of the 'Concert'.
I tried to follow the Manual instructions :
Change the audio output for the metronome sound
- Choose MainStage > Preferences > General.
- In the Metronome section of the General tab, choose a different audio output from the Output pop-up menu.
PROBLEM
1. In the General tab only outputs 1-2 are available/selectable (Presumably these are also default for the entire 'Concert')
2. Why is this process in the Manual if it is not executable (without doing something else/additional set-up) ?
3. This is probably among the most critical yet most basic set-up requirements for using MainStage with a live band, so why am I having to ask for help at all !
Rant over (its been a long day)
Grateful for any help in resolving this. I'm assuming I can route both the Metronome (as a click track) and vocal cues to the same outputs, which are separate from the rest of the Concert...or should I change the outputs on the other tracks and keep outputs 1-2 for the metronome/vocal cues ?
Thanks in advance for any advice and apologies for my frustration. JM
