Hey David. To answer your following question, why not start using what you
can off the os right away
and when those other apps come along, you'll be further up the curve. The
reason is because 90 percent of what that machine would be used for is
music related. Unfortunately, nothing is accessible,so it wouldn't be cost
effective.

Kevin and all,
I've heard that jaws does not work on an intel mac. I'dd liike to be
rong. Also, why not start using what you can off the os right away and
when those other apps come along, you'll be further up the curve.

Hey folks. I'm at a turning point in my career where I need to get some
new gear for my road music rig. Right now, Pro Tools,Logic, and Garage
band aren't accessible with Voice Over, however Gb is more so than the
others. What I'm contemplating is to run Sonar 5with Cake Talking for now
so I can have a bunch of software synths running for my on-stage
performances. Also, I would have a rig goodenough for doing some basic
moble recording that I can fly into my older pro tools rig back home.
What I'm thinking about is getting the fastest Mac Book Pro on the
market, running Bootcamp and putting windows on it and doing it that way.
If in a year and a half or so, if things look up for music accessibility
on the mac side, I can easily move into that platform without getting
another machine. I will be able to install and run Pro Tools, logic,or
whatever on the mac side and have no problems. What I want to know is
does this make sense, does Jfw work pretty well on the mac with bootcamp?
It makes sense to me because I don't want to buy a PC laptop, when
ultimately,I want a Mac Book because of it's speed and stability. I
don't want to dump money into a machine that runs O S 9, because I can't
expand anymore with the Pro Tools soft synths. Nothing is compadible
anymore with Pro Tools 5. I wantto be able to use the newest soft synths,
and be able to be upgradable, and as oddas it sounds from a guy who loves
Pro Tools, Sonar is the more advanced dog in the pack right now from an
accessibility standpoint. I'd really love your thoughts on this, as I am
looking at drawing up the loan paperwork very soon. Thanks for any help
you can provide.
