Hello:
I used ptw and biab on the P.C. for many years. I used to do a single in bars and what not & have 100+ .seq files. I now use a mac and mainstage exclusively for my live rig. What I really loved about using ptw live was the karaoke style lyrics and chord changes in real time. Im looking in to how to convert my show so that I can have a mainstage patch for each song and make a silent video of the chords/lyrics and use an apple script to trigger the quicktime video. (It would not have to time up exactly with the audio file but be somewhat in the ballpark) Alternatively there might be a way to create an apple script to trigger biab to play a certain file? this would be really cool as well...does anybody here do anything sililar with biab for mac & mainstage? .....Thanks in advance:)

Has the mac version got the Conductor yet ?

Jeff, Very interesting posting.

Actually never thought of linking Apple's Mainstage 3 ( version 3.1.1 ) with Mac BinaB 2016.

What do you mean by " ptw " ??

And, just exactly how do you link Mainstage 3 and BinaB i.e. what are your settings ?

Thanks for the reply..I was saying ptw as short for power tracks pro audio....Well my settings are pretty much mainstage for everything live....electric guitar, keyboards and vocal effects...Im just really hooked on the visual display that biab and ptw both have for live performance...My rough mental plan was to just use mainstage and drop an audio file in to one of the tracks for my backup band and have a silent video play with the lyrics/chords displaying...or alternatively have some sort of apple script that starts biab (with the sounds silenced just for the visual display)

Thanks for the reply:
I can look. this is a very interesting angle. What kind of a set up are you thinking I could use with conductor in tandem with mainstage?

Apparently not Pipeline according to Andrew/PG very recent posting here at the Mac forum.
