[mikew598]

Hey everyone i have heard of people been able to installed FL Studios onto their Mac osx. Has anyone done this without have windows on the mac ? If so how can i achieve this ?

Possibly meant for the Digital and software section...

but other then that i cant help sorry mate...

[Cupe]

This is the right section for this sort of post

Digital and Software is for serato and shit

[Tomy]

hmmmm never heard of it with out boot camp but i'm sure you could. as if FL wouldn't want to be on mac.

[mikew598]

doesnt make sense to me either ay

theres no native version of FL for mac. The only way to do it, would be like Tomy said, and install it on Bootcamp. You could then ReWire it back into another native mac DAW if necessary.

? what is bootcamp ? please explain this method ?

[Gandy]

bootcamp allows you to dual boot, you decide if you want to boot into windows or osx

[mikew598]

thus splitting your processing power though right ?

[eggssell]

not processing power. now i might be wrong havent looked into bootcamp since the days apple first went intel, but i thought at startup you choose which OS to boot windows or OSX. hence only one is running at anyone time.

what you need to split is your hard disk, i think you have to partition it.

now i am pretty sure you could maybe run virtual windows OS? im not too clued up on it but i keep hearing about this vmware thang, where people can have windows and linux running on the same machine at the same time. so maybe theres something like that for apple?

note with bootcamp you still need a copy of windows.

[Trip]

I was under the impression bootcamp provided a virtual windows desktop. dissimilar to dual booting, in the sense that you can access a windows desktop at any time, while running OS X.

bootcamp splits all the memory, i tried doing this exact thing, it made my computer shit itself because there was only about about 30gig of free space on the windows side and about 1gig on the mac side.

quit being stubborn and get a mac program like logic or sell your mac and get a PC.

your just going to give yourself a headche dude

you can get parallells or boot camps, boot makes it so you choose which one you use when you boot your computer parrallells are when you can have both open at the same time.
