[RWP] My Next Investment, a Wreck of a Mac

[Indigo]

I listen to recordings I know were rendered on a Mac, any old Mac, and 
those rendered on any Windows computer, and anybody can tell me I'm 
crazy, but all those rendered on Macs are both a dozen times louder and 
way clearer.
For example, when I google for PropellerHeads Reason installed in 
Windows, there's a world of difference in the usual background music in 
PropellerHeads videos, all done on Macs.
I'm tired of hearing the huge loss of quality I hear when rendering to 
.wav, .aiff, .flac, whatever foremat, on any Windows computer.
Before I render the sound, , like Camel Audio's Alchemy, LinPlug's 
Albino, and a hundred other VST's, they're absolutely gorgeous in 
Windows, so the issue doesn't exist before rendering.
I've tried all the rendering options in Sonar, also the very slowest and 
highest-quality rendering in Reaper, same result, the rendered file 
loses volume, loses bass, loses presence, it's something to do with 
Windows itself, whether XP 32, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8, all the 
recordings I hear show it.
Why does anyone suppose that you see Macs everywhere in commercial studios?
Noone doing real professional work even bothers to say it, it's assumed, 
Windows sucks.
Well, I'm not going to inflict navigating around Reaper on a Mac on 
myself, I'll continue to do all but final rendering in Reaper on my I7 
Windows machine.
I'm just going to hit my local Craig's List and pick up an old Mac in 
whatever affordable condition, connect its soundcard to my Windows 
computer soundcard by SPDIF, then do all the pre-rendering work on 
Windows, then shoot the files over to the Mac and render them to .aiff.
It's an interesting and affordable experiment anyway.
The only way to prove or disprove a theory is to do the experiment.
