ReWire is supported by both Live 8 and Mainstage 2. Not by Mainstage 1
though. Mainstage 2 works as the ReWire Slave only, not as the Master,
while Live can take on both of those roles. You typically start the
ReWire Master application first and then the other application will
automatically start in ReWire Slave Mode. Because of this I think you
will have to run them in ReWire mode if using them on the same
computer.
