Keep the setup simple.Īs far as being able to use software and hardware synths to play on. If you somehow need to insist on being able to do advanced created things in the sequencer in a live setting, then definitely go LogicPro because MainStage's playback capabilities are rudimentary and sometimes flukey to figure out, but personally I would would avoid doing that kind of stuff live. You can always record a click track MP3 also and send that to the drummer or whatever. Don't mess with midi sequence playback on stage. MainStage can handle that, and if it can't, you can always just put them on an iPod and hit play from there. Just record your backing tracks as MP3's fully mixed and let them playback from somewhere.
My advise is to keep your backing track playback as simple as possible.

As you get more complicated, MainStage can't really handle it.then you'd be better off in LogicPro, but you'll lose the Patch setlist capability, which for me is major. That being said, for live playback of backing tracks, it starts to get murkier. For most people, I think that is the way to go for using software instruments on stage. The biggest thing is that you can setup a set list of patches and instantly change patches via program change command, with each patch being whatever mixer config you want with instruments, sounds, audio strips or whatever you want. MainStage has a few features that logic does not have for live performance ,which MOST people will benefit from. I think most of what can be done with Mainstage can also be done with logic (especially if you fiddle in environment) So really, depends, but from my experience i vote for logic. If I had tons of different presets i'd probably try to use a combination of both (send patch changes from Logic to Mainstage) because it can be tricky to setup in logic. However, I don't use a lot of VSTs, 5 tracks, and one VST has 6 different presets (u-he hive) (there's plenty of audio and submixes going on tho) I played a few mainstage shows, but 2 had inexplicably dropped playback, and since switching to Logic for live, I had 0 issues and CPU usage went down. need to fiddle in environment to hard-route midi controllers to software instruments, so you're not depending on record arming, and if you open the project while a hardware controller is disconnected you need to hardwire it again. hardware assignments are again GLOBAL, so if you have a dedicated macos/logic installation that's not an issue. It's best that you have a dedicated macOS/Logic installation, because some global settings that are best for Live are terrible for studio Concert > set > patch hierachy and signal flow can become confusing if you're not very strict. i find playback engine unreliable, and GUI is laggy and clunky to design Automation, tempo tracks, rigid playback system, especially for multi-tracks, extremely easy file management and playback track replacement/on the fly edits

MainStage lets you take your Mac to the stage with a full-screen interface optimised for live performance, flexible hardware control, and a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro.- easier to assign and select specific VST instruments, fancy GUI feedback, easier hardware assignment and bus labeling
