Mainstage Crash during live use after OS X 10.7.4 install.

I am a semi-pro musician and I have added Main-stage to my set-up, in line with my hardware synths, as I transition into the soft synth world in a live situation. Up until the latest OS X install, Main-stage has been stable, which is critical for live use, and my confidence moving forward is growing. However now, my Main-stage set-up hangs up and or crashes in performance mode after about 15-20 minutes. This is not acceptable, anyone here that is invested in Main-stage for live use, understands this. 30% of my show is dependent on this too,l but crashes cannot happen on stage.


I have read that the new OS X update 10.7.4 may be responsible, as this is the only thing that has recently changed. If so, what is the solution to resolve?, is it possible to back out a OS X update and if so, how?


This is my first post, which for me, means I am desperate for an answer quickly, thanks.

I had this problem too and I *think* I have it fixed. Wanted to share in case this was helpful for you. Check to see which version of Mainstage you're running. If it's 2.1, chances are you are running a copy from Logic Studio... which is no longer updating. MS 2.2.1 is out on the App Store, and so far seems compatible with the 10.7.4 OS update. Hope this helps.


PS, apple, if this truly is the case, it's a shame you couldn't at least warn us that our copies of MS would be obsolete. This happened right before a gig for me. Shame on me for blindly updating, but it could have been avoided.
