Perhaps the most critical aspect of the 3.6 branch was the optimization for Apple Silicon. With the transition from Intel processors to Apple’s own M-series chips, musicians needed software that could run natively without relying on Rosetta 2 translation (which can induce latency). MainStage 3.6.1 provided a smoother, more CPU-efficient experience for users on newer Macs, allowing for lower buffer sizes and, consequently It continues the performance optimizations for M1 Max

Software stability is the top priority for any live performer. A "dmg" (Disk Image) of version 3.6.1 is often sought after because it represents a "sweet spot" in Apple’s release cycle—fixing bugs found in earlier 3.6 releases while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of hardware.
