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,

Keep in mind that Bootcamp or Parallels will only run on Inter-based Macs. If you have a PPC Mac (like me) your stuck with Virtual PC to run Windows software. Like rbaile28 said it’s very slow, so actually not any use at all.

I have an old iMac G5 with 2GB RAM. Running the simplest MP3 mixing software for Windows (Acoustica’s MP3 Audio Mixer) inside Virtual PC gives me a whopping 3 tracks (!!) to play simultaneously before things start to stutter and hickup all together.

For real serious audio-editing, just don’t use software inside an emulator… or better yet, don’t ever use any Windows software at all.
