Honestly I don't see how your question could   have a simple answer .

MainStage is a Mac only application  . Cakewalk by BandLab is a PC only application .

I have both MainStage 2 on both  of my older Mac's  .  I also have Cakewalk by BandLab on a couple of PC's .

Yes MainStage is amazing . A lot of Bang for the buck .Those sounds combined w 3rd party and what comes w BandLab could really help  go a long way as to creating some choice tones .

The only thing I can tell you is when ever I want to incorporate  MainStage sounds into a Cakewalk  project I will treat my Mac as if it is a hardware synth and or as an external rack mount channel strip.

I usually do it 2 different ways . Both Old School .

#1 , Once I dial up a patch I want to bring over to Cakewalk I simply use MainStage as a combination  . MainStage becomes   my pre amp / midi tone module and I will  run MainStage with my Macs sound card into my PC / Cakewalk project ...

I have an Apogee and a Yamaha Sound Card for my Mac.  I will run either sound card into my P C VIA a Focusrite 2i4 ...to capture my sounds .

MainStage is a performance / synth and sound creation tool and application , I will play my performance in real time VIA my Mac and use my PC to capture my performance . As audio .

This is not very different than what MainStage was designed for since most people that use MainStage on a regular basis end up gigging w it ..( Church P & W , Broadway , Clubs as a scaled down portable rig ...Home Project Studio ...ect ect...)

#2, I have also used MainStage as an external midi synth / work station  / tone module . 

The times I used MainStage  that way  I would  use my Midi out from Cakewalk VIA a midi cable from my 2i4  into  my Mac's midi input  into MainStage  . 

While my Cakewalk project played I would then set up and audition my sounds and patches in MainStage .

Once I was Happy I would record in Cakewalk ( in real time ) the sounds I had dialed up in MainStage ...

I guess I had gotten used to doing things this way because back in the day I used to run hardware stand alone midi  sequencers into hardware synths ...

Honestly , it's not much different doing it that way now and one could get a lot of mileage out  of  using  this type of approach  ...

I have an Ovation just like the one in your avatar ...Say , what guitar did you play on this ?

Your tune sounds pretty good playing wise ..a little to much Reverb IMHO ....other than that small crit  nice .

Kenny

My Constellation  had just gotten that bug from a recent update from only a few days ago ....

Thank you for the newer fixed update . All seems fine now in my Orbit .

Kenny

I use the Blue Cat free plugs a lot . I think they are very good quality and they sound very good . I happen to like them better than most of the pedals I have on my pedal board .

How dare you show Reaper!! Don't you know that this is a Cakewalk forum!!!!! The proper authorities have been notified!

The Studio Bear made me do it 🤣

I'm pretty much a Cakewalk guy at heart . Most of my music usually gets done VIA Cakewalk .

 When it comes to doing a score for video ,  I think Reapers ability to handle multiple Videos within a project as just another track gives it an edge over Cakewalk ...

Your Honor ! I plead not guilty ...that's my story and I'm sticking to it ...

I'm so glad I didn't watch that while on mushrooms!  I probably would have been laughing so hard that wouldn't be taking in enough air to stay conscious! 🤣

Studio Bear!    is afraid of Mushrooms . He wound up using some good old fashion tried and true  green herbal enhancements instead 🤪

Yeah, you did a masterful job on Two Dude Defense with the full-fledged arrangement you brought to it. I won't ask for that level of effort this time . Just soloing over a simple groove on keys or keys+drums like this. I'll pick a few things and share them to your bandlab account for you to consider.

I look forward to hearing from you ... P M sent

all the best,

By my count, Fame owes Kenny another 14 minutes and 56 seconds! 😆

Craig , OK when you are on You Are On lol I'll give you that

I wonder if my 4 seconds of credit will roll over ...if I was riding a Bull I would have had  a halfway good run at four seconds ..

Sweet... a Kenny Wilson twofer! Listening to this, methinks another collab might be in order. I have a virtually endless supply of  solo piano  grooves like this from which you can choose.  ;^)

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave ,

It is nice to see you around here and I'm glad you enjoyed this song. Sure , if you want to run something you have done by me just let me know .

The collab we did years ago still goes down as one of the best I've been a part of still to this day .

all the best,

Kenny

Wow Larry ! 

I have to say you did a great job on your version of Time . You have good chops on the guitar and vocals .Plus,  I think you have a golden ear man .

I can tell you have patiently worked on this song and didn't settle for a second rate performance or second rate instrument sound ...

All your songs elements  are top shelf and impressive  sounding all across the board .

all the best,

Kenny

Jesse ! Your song is Crazy in a good way .

Kenny

Hi Bjorn ,

I enjoyed watching and listening to your video immensely . You really know how to set up a real nice visual theme and then marry it to Music .

I have seen a few of your videos over time and I like this one the best. I wish I knew how to do videos w music on this level of creativity and quality  ..

all the best ,

Kenny

PS that was a cool transition at 3:27 on....nice one
