recording your live mainstage performances with logic on same machine

1. You gotta have plenty of Mac horsepower and some fast hard drives to do all your audio on MainStage while recording in Logic at the same time, on the same Mac. But you CAN do it. Amazing.
2. If you just need two channels of recording, you can record directly from MainStage. So.....a stereo mix. See the manual, it tells you how to do this.
3. If you wanna do multitrack Logic recording while performing using MainStage, routing via Ultralite, let me know and I can explain more.

I do it all the time, on a circa 2008 mbp, seems to work just fine.

you'll want this:

the way I do it is that I go into audio midi setup and I create an aggregate device joining my audio interface and the virtual interfaces of soundflower.

Then in mainstage, I'll create two busses: one with an output to my audio interface, and one with an output to soundflower, and I'll send my channel strips to both busses.

Then in logic, I'll load up the same aggregate device. Then I can record multi-tracks from my audio interface, and I can also have a separate track that gets the outputs from soundflower ... so I basically get mainstage on one track and the rest of the band on their tracks. Be sure to mute the main outs in Logic.

works like a charm. runs the cpu pretty hard. you'll want your power adapter for sure.

ahicox info looks good, I would give that a try. If you can accomplish all of your routing via an aggregate with Soundflower (virtually) all the better. I was going to discuss how to do your routing via the Ultralite alone, but that depends on having enough ins/outs open to patch it. Let me know if Soundflower doesn't work out for you. I will be spending some time over the next month comparing methods, as I want to start regularly recording performances if all is stable.
