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

[Chris Belle]

Again, you need to go see a daw vendor, Jim will tell you don't do it 
unless you have to,
because laptops appropriate for great daw performance aren't cheap.

many people have made the mistake of going and getting what seems a 
great bargain at best buy o9nly to find out it sucked for audio.

Even people who should know better fall in to this trap.

You can actually get better performance with a windows machine, not 
because windows is better, but because windows is available to run on 
the best and the worst hardware, unlike a one size fits all mac.

YOu have to think of all sorts of things, the video, the usb power, dpc 
latency, processor scheduling, what driver revissions, bios tweaks, all 
of it matters,
a high end windows asio device with the right hardware will out-perform 
mac sound core audio according to some forums, but mac makes things so 
easy, you can put your junky usb mic and camera along with your high end 
audio device and have them play together,
which just doesn't happen in windows withou special stuff, according to 
my research, and talking to knowledgeable people like my little buddy 
patrick,
when I get a mac I will like sound flower, but reality is you trade one 
set of headaches for another.

YOu might be able to put all your stuff together, but what about 
accessiblity and what are you goin to run it on?

Anyway, you've been warned, if you want guarateed good results, go see a 
daw maker.

Or run a mac with mac software, not windows.
