Q: ? on Mainstage

I have Garageband (not latest V11.x update ) and under OSX10.9.5 can not update due to OSX requirements

 

I did a full system back up (Time Machine + Lacie 2TB USB 2.0 ) ? I have Jam Packs installed (show up as Legacy Jam Packs , I have all but the World Music Jam Pack , (? is ) = I realize Mainstage is a "live " performing based software program , is it correct that all of the (prior sold ) Apple Jam Packs (#1 . Remix , Voices, Orchestra , Drums -Guitars-Bass (I think I have the wrong title ) as well as World Instruments are part of Mainstage (and can they be integrated into Garageband (sorry if this is a dumb ?? ) I have a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface as well as 2 amps one tube , one solid state and effects, multi effects and 6-7 guitars (electric )

 

Thanks

    With Mainstage, you also get all instruments, that come with Logic Pro, like Sculpture, EXS24, ES2, retro synth, Alchemy, electric piano (evp88), tone wheel organ (evb3), and the greenest synth, the ES1. SO, it's a real bar gain. The Focusrite 2I2 is a good interface for Mainstage.

     

    Best,

    Many Thanks , DeCaptain ,

    Good to know the info ( I did read > the manuals for MainStage but Users know best I have found

    I do like the Focusrite 2i2 (good bang for the buck + added updates Compressor etc )

    Good to here the examples of instruments (? are they Jam Packs also , fixated on that I guess (missed the World Music disk have all the rest .. but the ones You mentioned sound A+ (I agree excellent bargain price (I recall Logic awhile back was close or more than $1,000 and Logic Express was ½ that

    then prices dropped (Logic to $499 or so then Logic Express $199.00 then it went away , Logic is ? $199 but more than I have now (will do update to ElCapitan , do updates to Garageband and any needed for Focusrite 2i2 (I have a Line 6 PodXt that needs updated for direct use USB (it has the 3 Model Packs (Buy 3 for price of 2 ) a Vox Tonelab desk top unit (both fit in docking stations for a 18 watt tube slave Atomic Amp , + a Roger Linn Adrennalin III (I did the update chips + faceplate on a Linn II well worth it much better sounds-tone (it can be externally played via the Atomic Amp as well

    or all with a Vox Pathfinder 15 watt solid state amp Favorite guitars a Gibson Blueshawk , a Epiphone Elitist (MIJ) 57' Goldtop RI Les Paul as well as a Schecter Tempest "Spin 20" model I won in a contest sponsored by Spin Magazine (20th anniversary ) + Guitar Center (Paper Work that came with it stated it was one of seven , ? with the unusual paint and Spin 20 text on it , dual HB with coil split as well , plus plenty of effects pedals (I like EHX effects + won a Seymour Duncan Shape Shifter pedal (with tremolo (its been updated to a version 2 (selling now ) mine is just fine ...

    All for now

    Thanks again
