Run Windows XP inside OSX with Parallel

No In Ableton I only get 2 outputs and 2 inputs (2 monos each)

The sound will come out of what you set as default output in the Mac OS sound settings.

this shit sucks. it eats up too much cpu and ram. FL Studio cant even do 50%cpu usage without crackling and popping. better to just stick to bootcamp - its free.

er...bit of an unfair comparison dont you think?

bootcamp doesn't involve 2 OS running side by side - you're pushing an entire hardware spec to 1 single OS and yes, it'll perform like any computer should.

parallels software give the flexibility of 2 OS running at the same time and just like any virtual machine solution, you can't expect a full blown performance.

i think using it for plugins (that u cant get on your fav OS) or other utilities is fine as it'll get the job done.
but chucking a full FL Studio on it and expecting wonders would be a bit Alice In Wonderland

i guess you have a point(s) there. Still, I really was hoping I'd get to use my favorite DAW again, at full force no less. Maybe I'll keep it for convinience sake, as I only use FL to make loops for Live.
