Hey folks,

Getting a bit tired of being excluded from a long number of nifty PC audio software. Considering trying Virtual PC (PC emulator for Mac) and installing.

Anyone been there? Any suggestions/tips?

Cheers,
Copycat

virtual pc is ridiculously slow. use bootcamp or parallels. i've heard good things about parallels but because theres so many weird stipulations about what you can and can't do with your own computer i just go ahead and restart so i have all my usb ports, all my ram, ect.

you could phrase it that way, but the big difference is that you actually have to install windows either way. thus, both programs take up gigs and gigs of space by the time you install xp and audition ect. so if youre going to go with it make sure you consider the space requirements youre going to be up against.
