Bass Guitar > Soft Step > Mainstage on MacBook Pro - Help me! :)

Recommended Posts

I want to make synth and dubstep bass sounds and control effects and what have you using a Keith McMillen Softstep and a swell pedal into the MacBook Pro using Apple MainStage. I also need normal bass sounds, probably amp/cab modelling like I do on the POD X3 Live I have (which may be retired if I can get all this new stuff working). I haven't bought anything yet, but I already have the MacBook with Logic 9 and MainStage.

Any of you doing this? I'm a bit clueless and not sure what I need despite reading up a bit on it. Do I need an ADC as well? Any reliability issues? Is the Soft Step or 12 Step best for this?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm doing something very similar, but I don't use a pedal to control effects, I tend to have the effects automated.

There's some demo videos in this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223148-live-dubstep-bass-guitar-wobble-using-ableton-live-9/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223148-live-dubstep-bass-guitar-wobble-using-ableton-live-9/[/url]

Nige!!!! Hello... so sorry just not been doing a lot of BC-ing lately (I have a hectic life so not much time for surfing etc)

I'm doing the same shiz bro - and I think you need to get hold of Ableton and I just bought a softstep and expression pedal - and also one of these:

Might actually be better if we got together for a hang and chat rather than typing zillions of words here - Codemarla's vids are great but I'm more into doing stuff in real-time than pre-plotting automation etc - although I can see how effective that is.

I'm going to DM you later with a few suggestions - and maybe we can hook up sometime soon for a play and to collective figure some of the sh*t out together :)
