Let's say you're trying to push your sound design horizons, so you open up "Alchemy" or "ES2" in MainStage. Holy Moley! So many knobs and controls.. where to begin.

Or maybe you really need to program a chord trigger FX, but you are stuck because it doesn't seem to be behaving like you think it should.

Do you wish there was an ebook or document that offered complete coverage over all of the built in plugins? Well... there is, and today we're going show you how to access it!

Behold. Your help comes from Apple Computers.

This one is so obvious that it hurts. So obvious that you might not even want to admit that this blog post reminded you of it. That's cool. You don't have to say a word. You can just be forever in my debt or something.

TADA!!!
Located in the toolbar. A thoroughly notated, illustrated guide to every single MainStage instrument and effect, WRITTEN BY THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THEM.

See what I mean? This should be ground zero for you if you're looking to grow in your MainStage sound design abilities.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd been flailing around MainStage for over 6 months before I first read through these resources.

Man it would have saved me a lot of time!

So there you go, your bedtime reading for the next two weeks :-p
