Hei, I take issue with that not going to inflict learning to navigate reaper on the mac on myself line. I'll have you know with SWS and the keymap foundat www.reaperacc.es, navigating reaper on the mac is way quicker and efficient than using ReaAccess. Also If you think rendering your project On the mac will sound good, Imagine how much better it will sound if you did the entire project on the mac. After all the drop of Unicorn tears that goes into every apple product does make for some extra pristine and well balanced audio. It sounds so great, the tracks practically mix themselves.
