[Rwp] A Mac?

[Jes]

Scott,
I am basing my opinion on first-hand experience. I was able to get up and running with reaper very quickly once I realized how the program worked. With GarageBand, I found myself fooling around using the VO keys and it just wasn't very efficient.
Of course for all my audio stuff, I have been using windows for years. I have used gold wave, sound forge and Reaper. When I installed reaper for the first time on windows along with Reaaccess, The fact that I could instantly get feedback when I pressed keys, and didn't have to create my own keymap was really nice.
