strip setting, unless you have renamed it.
 In MainStage, the channel strip number (at the bottom of the channel strip) reflects
its order in the patch, not the concert.
Additionally, some plug-ins available in Logic Pro 8, including surround plug-ins and
plug-ins that are not optimized for real-time performance (because they introduce a
high degree of latency) are not available in MainStage.
For more information about working with channel strips, see Chapter 10, “Working with
Instruments and Effects” and Chapter 25, “Mixing” in the Logic Pro 8 User Manual. For
complete information about the instruments and effects available in Logic Studio, see
the Logic Studio Instruments and Effects manual.
The procedure for adding channel strips is described in “
