[RWP] Reaper Access for the Mac?

[Monkey Pusher]

I agree that it would be nice to have some squivalent between the mac
and PC versions. Its funny how the OS usually prefered for such task
doesn't really haven any options. ProTools is accessible for audio,
and i am sure midi support is on te way, and Garage Band is somewaht
usuable. and thats it. From what i understand about VoiceOVer and how
it works, the easiest route here would be to have the reaper
developers put the propper hooks in for voice over, But like you said
this may be easy or daunting depending on how reaper has been coded
thus far. In the case of protools they had to completely re do the
interface to get the VO hooks in there. I believe the people at
Serotek are already in talks with the developers of Reaper so maybe if
one of them would be as so kind to mention to this to them  and see if
they could find out some info for us on the topic? Otherwise if
someone who uses a mac would like to poke around the forums and find
the right place to post a request and post the link here after doing
so so the rest of us can chime in, I am sure we'd be willing to help
out in that manner.
