MainStage 3.7.1 for Mac
Mac AudioMainStage 3.7.1 is Apple's live performance app for Mac, designed to take the sounds you use in the studio onto the stage. Instead of a timeline, it gives you a full-screen, high-contrast performance view built around patches and concert setlists, so keyboardists, guitarists and vocalists can switch sounds instantly during a show while keeping their eyes on the performance, not the screen.
MainStage shares its instruments and effects with Logic Pro — the same plug-ins and sound library — but it is a separate, much cheaper app sold as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store. It is not free, and there is no free full version. MainStage is also included in Apple Creator Studio for subscribers. Version 3.7.1 is an older release in the MainStage 3 line; the App Store delivers the current version matched to your macOS.

Do I need Logic Pro to use MainStage?
No. MainStage is a standalone app with its own instruments and effects. Owning Logic Pro simply means your sounds and plug-in settings carry across between the two.
Is MainStage free with a Mac?
No. It is a low-cost one-time purchase on the Mac App Store, and it is also included in an Apple Creator Studio subscription. It does not come preinstalled for free.
