| Hi all,
Has anyone else experienced a lot of temperature increase when running Mainstage? I have a 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro, aluminum (Intel Core 2 Duo). i just installed Snow Leopard and Mainstage today. Even without using more than one instrument in Mainstage, its heating up the bottom of the Macbook quite a bit, to where its uncomfortable on my lap.
I know, I know, I should get a laptop cooler. But are there some settings I can change in Mainstage to cool things down? I don't want to burn out another logic board if I can avoid it.
Peace, Michael Carlson (3x09)

Sent from my iPhone Sanne, you my hero! Have you seen my arrangement of your arrangement of "Fields of Barley" by Sting? I did it after I participated in a Native American sweat lodge ceremony, so its partly inspired by Native American song, and mostly improvisatorial.
Listen to "We Will Walk (in the Fields of Gold)"

I think I'll look for a sub-harmonic synth or use the MDA-VST plug-in now, rather than a Chili Dog.
Thanks!

The bass octaver has a good bottom end, but is muddy. The synth route really intrigues me, but without a reference tone to shoo for, who the hell knows what I need, lol.
There appears to be nothing like the DBX or Peavey in stompbox format...that is something I would need for live use.On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 8:50 PM, Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> wrote: On 7/22/64 11:59 AM, Sanne de Waard wrote:
Hi,
I cannot help you with your current technical problem, but I do have a lot of experience with "octaving" my voice and vocal percussion. Instead of using an octaver, you could try to use a subharmonic synth. The results actually are stunning and way better than an guitar octaver.

Good luck,

This is Kid Beyond's secret weapon, live.
Also, a few years back when Elliot Smith died, my wife and I helped out his estate
by buying a one rack hardware suboctave generator that works really
well live for vocals.
It's buried in a rack I'm not using currently, but I think it was an earlier Peavey model.
