Playback plug-in overview in MainStage

The Playback plug-in is an audio file player that you can use to play backing tracks, song stems, and other audio files. The Playback plug-in supports uncompressed mono or stereo audio files in the AIFF, WAV, and CAF formats with a bit depth of 16 or 24 bits. You can bounce a single stem from a Logic Pro project or a set of stems from individual tracks.

You can use Playback to jump to song sections and repeat them. If you assign multiple instances to groups, each song section can include multiple stems, which expands the possibilities for live remixing of your audio. These and other features make the Playback plug-in a flexible, powerful, creative tool, both in the studio and in live performance.
