[RWP] getting a mac for reaper what's the deal??

[Chris Belle]

One thing for sure, if you use a mac version on a mac, you'll be using 
the right tool matched up with the right hardware so you'll get the best 
performance, even if windows can run natively on the mac hardware, the 
native os will run better naturally.

Just get something decent, don' try and do it on a air or entry level 
mac mini unless you beef it up a bit unless you are only planning to do 
light work.

Most folks I know doing resonable track counts on the mac hardware are 
running imacs,
I am jus not a fan of running daws on laptops, never mind what the 
vendors say,
ok for podcasts and such, but a daw really asks a lot of a computer,
so save your nickels and get something decent, even on the mac side.

ProTools”, which will give you some vital info on resources to help you with accessibility of Reaper for Mac. I haven’t duel booted on my Mac before, so I can’t really speak for that directly. I just wanted to point out that you don’t need to install Windows on your Mac in order to use Reaper. It just takes a little research, a few tools and an open mind, most of which you need anyway to use Reaper on Windows.
