Hello, I got an audio engineering internship at a voice acting studio that uses Digital Performer for everything. I have a lot of DAW experience but it's all in Cubase on Windows. I don't have a mac, nor can I afford one at the moment, so I can't practice at home. Needles to say the ability to practice at home would be invaluable to speeding up the process of the internship actually turning into a job (which the studio incidentally needs too). My only hope for getting an immediate setup going would be if I could find a program that runs OS X over Windows or Linux...anyone know if this exists? (If Linux can run on top of Windows I don't see any reason why OS X shouldn't be able to, except for the fact that OS X is proprietary and Linux isn't. But perhaps Macintosh has seen some use in developing a program to do this or somebody has figured out a way to make OS X "think" it's running on a Mac.) Anyone know? I'm checking the internet too of course but this is worth a shot.
And in case your wondering the studio is aware of my lack of experience with Macs. I know my way around a *n?x system so I shouldn't have too hard a time picking it up.

The new mac mini is only $499.00 and I believe your monitor,mouse,and keyboard will work with with an adapter. and you are good to go.
check it out at Apple.com you can get the specs there.

Re: OS X over Windows or Linux
Tue, January 17, 2006 - 4:49 PMMaybe im misreading something but isnt that to run MacOS on a PPC box running Linux as it primary OS? If so i dont think thats what he wants because if i understood him correctly he currently has a PC (x86) not a Mac (PPC). If this is the case, i beleive there is a Priated Version of the new intel OSX out there thats been hacked to high hell to run on a non Mac hardware. Im sure you could fnd it on the P2P networks.
