  • Serialz.to for Serialbox for Mac.

    Logic Express might do an OK job for a looping tool...

    It's only $199 for a legit version, or you can prolly find it on piratebay.org...

  • im messing with Audacity. it does the job but takes 3 times longer then acid pro. and has fewer features. if you find a program better or even close to acid pro please share because audacity is driving me crazy. i wish there was adobe audition for mac as well. i do have reason 4.0. great program but i do miss the unlimited tracks available on acid pro.

    cant you just get the Windows clone program and run Acid on a Mac?

    you can run boot camp, standard with leopard, which lets you partition your hard drive and run windows programs. Never tried it, but I hear it works.

    I was hoping for this, I haven't looked into yet.

    How reliable is this program? Been on the fence over saving money and getting a pc or shelling out for a mac... All of my music software is pc based though...

    Not sure, like I said, I've never done it, just know it's possible.

    Boot camp is just a boot manager (sits on the first part of your harddrive and allows you to choose what operating system you want to run) you can't run windows programs inside of the mac os x operating system with bootcamp (why would you want to run two OSes at once?)

    Installing windows on a MAC is DEAD simple. You go into applications, find the bootcamp program, there you will create any size partition you want to install windows onto, reboot, go through a standard windows install. When that is all completed you put your Panther disk back in which has all the drivers and everything you need and it autoinstalls everything.

    From that point on you can hold down option when booting up your Mac and you can choose from Windows or OS X. You can access files from either drive on either OS.

    Dead stable, the same as a standalone PC.

    There are some other programs out there that allow you to run Windows programs in OS X but I really wouldn't suggest it unless it is a simple program (accounting or something, no music/video stuff) or if you have a badass tower loaded with RAM proccessors, etc.

    Boot Camp does work flawlessly, we have it at work for checking websites we design on PC's.

    Guru looks dope! I'm dling the Demo now.

    You can easily find Guru as a "free" download. Thank me later.

    Yeah it doesn't have decay.. that was my main beef with it. I'm still using Battery2 in conjunction with an MPC. Not the most stable program, but it runs pretty well within Logic. If you're used to an MPC, incorporating Battery will speed up your workflow considerably.
