Decided to give mainstage a run this year. I step outside of the studio about 8 times a year to do several shows -apprx 7 - // 5 piece band - we've been using some backing tracks the old way - mp3/wav / L=click to my drummer / R= music to mains - this year I have added a tech to run our in our monitor board - and my macbook pro, tracks- we are going to be sending 5 stems via playback to a MOTU 828.
I just need some advice on the keyboard portion - I was looking forward to having mainstage change my patches for me -so that I can leave the massive RD-700sx and the VR-760 in the control room this year - but With my laptop and mainstage being off with the monitor guy .... what is the best way to get my keyboard controller connected to macbook pro ...distance will be anywhere from 10-50 feet to side of stage, where we'll be setting up the tech's position. -
USB / with long MIDI cable ?? - can I go that long ??? - any other advice.
