Guitar Channel Strip with Playback

Hi

Using the 8 track playback facility for backing tracks in each patch and adding extra instruments in the channel strips for vocals, bass, Keys and guitar (or any combination of).

This works well as you can play the backing track and set the levels for each instrument in the channel strip.

However, I am then limited to a single guitar effect (as I'm using one of the Mainstage amps) and cannot change from distorted to clean in the song as moving patches would stop the backing track.

Is there a working solution to this?

Actually, this depends on how you're planning to work. If you have tempo changes built into the audio file you load up into playback, ie you have automated tempo changes in your Logic file, then bounced that, they will work in Mainstage (I've got several tracks where I have put in tempo changes in that way, and they work just fine). This is because Playback is simply that - the playback of an audio file.

If, however, you are planning to, for example, sync an echo to your playback tempo, then what you say is correct.

So actually, all eight songs don't have to be the same tempo if you simply want playback.

Hope that helps
