is it possible to run fruity loops on a mac?

As everyone has already said, no FL won't run on a mac unless it's an intel mac with windows loaded onto it.
If you're comfortable with using fruity loops, then you're more likely to find a cheap windows running machine than a cheap G3 or G4 mac, it's just that if you buy a mac instead then you can join in the arguements of "my penis is bigger because my computer looks pretty*"

I'm all for mac's, they are lovely machines to use and I have never had a problem with one, but the "elitists" approach to owning them is getting fucking stupid now.
Any time anyone coughs and it sounded like they might have mentioned something to do with an OS, the mac crew show up and shout about how much more amazing it is to own and use a mac than a PC.

You should be able to get a nice cheap laptop which runs windows, look into an operating system called "tinyxp" and then set about your business, and avoid letting it connect to the internet, it will only cause problems and distract your workflow!

I hope this helps, and just to echo other people's posts a little more, fuck off Q Steppa and WiREZ......you're only hating on the 360 and favouring the PS3 because you own a mac, and you think it automatically means you should hate everything microsoft.

man I hate fanboys.

*please note, this fact is not actually true despite mac owners popular beliefs.

So yeah - keep that acer laptop and use it for the internet and keep your mac offline if you're going to put windows on it
LOL

honestly, if you can afford a mac, you can afford something a bitter better then FL.

Skream can probably afford "something a bit better" after playing for an hour, but he's doing "alright" in fruity isn't he

I think this forum should be renamed itdoesn'tmatterwhatdawyouuseforum.com

Oh and just to exacerbate things here, the ps3 is a much more powerful machine than the 360, and has blu ray and free internet (which can access real internet sites), again it's an argument that isn't worth arguing about yet the people who can't afford (or more likely, don't put the effort into saving for) macs or ps3's love to argue about it pointlessly...
The strongest argument these people have, that I've read, is - 'Yeh but you can get 3 super-pc's for the price of a mac"...

Mac/PS3 haters are just in pure denial.

Sorry to be a cock, but my arrogance tells me I have a point here.
I have a mac, it's great, and I use logic, also great. But there are some things fruity loops handles a lot better. And there are some things logic does better. If you'd used it more then a minute you would see that they are completely different programs, and treating Logic like a professional upgrade from the others is really being ignorant about it, especially since people used to think Logic was Pro Tools for kids.

also i seriously can't believe you actually posted that ps3 stuff.

Seeing as I used FL for 5 years before Logic I think I have used it more than a minute. I know both programs inside out and have not found one thing that 'FL handles better'. - Other than quickly stuttering audio...

And yeh that makes sense, let's all call an audio only DAW something better than logic... (admittedly Pro Tools is now much better, but you used past tense).

As for the PS3 thing, I was just stating a fact that people with shit machines are too defensive over them, so much so they're delirious that other machines are better.

Nice stereotyping, Although quite ironic due to the fact that people with good machines tend to mention the fact they have good machines over and over and refuse to let anyone forget how good they are and they should definately try to mention them in at least 3 topics every day anytime anyone mentions a machine.

God forbid a machine ever comes out better than the PS3 and it's made by microsoft, because then you'll fall into the category of "people with shit machines who are too defensive over them"

Would probably make you explode all your fanboy juices over your fanboy collection of machines.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with having a PS3 and a mac, I don't have either, but I'm not gonna boast about how good my alternatives are, at the end of the day, personal preference should be just that, personal. Instead of trying to ram it down everyones throats all the fucking time. Does my head in.
I'm not religious but I don't go round saying about how shit religion is, each to their own, some people need to grow up.

I actually started by saying that there was no point running FL on a mac... But then Mr Beerhunter took the context out of proportion, and everybody else went blah blah blah.

yeah, and then you continued to go on and on and on and on about it. i think everyone's live would be easier if you just GAVE IT A FUCKING REST. christ. i think you need to realise that your personal computer preference is of significantly less interest to everyone else than you think. like you said, it's not even relevant to this thread, so why are you still getting people's backs up about it? i don't think anyone will hold it against you if you just leave it there...

Alright, but seriously guys, the Wii is just better. Because it's more fun unlike the 360 and PS3 which aren't about fun but pretty graphics. =|

just shut up already. unless you're running kubuntu on you're ps3 and making music on it the topic of video game systems has no bizz being in the production thread of a music forum.

this site is on the fast track to being the next doa.

I actually don't own any games consoles at all, if you read the post properly perhaps you will notice that first time around.

I was actually just making the point that it doesn't matter, I didn't start the conversation about games consoles now did I

is it possible to run fruity loops on a mac?
