Is there any way to use a Win pc as a Mac?
Hi,
I currently use PT7 on a Mac, but since my new PC is way faster than the Mac. I consider to move to the PC to use PT. My problem is I am an assistant engineer at a commercial studio, our PT HD rig is based on Macs, so need to remember the Mac shortcuts. Is there any way to use a Mac keyboard and use PT on Win like using it on a Mac? If someone has took this route, please let me know what you had to do. I'd appreciate. |

I *think* that you might be able to but you have to find the right drivers for it. I was looking for this a while back because I like the new iMac slim keyboards, but you need to be able to find a driver that is tweaked for Windows. Also, I'm not sure if the shortcuts would transfer seeing as those Mac shortcuts are built in a Mac OS and PCs recognize different shortcuts - that would be my guess at least. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Look for a utility that allows remapping the keys(I know they are out there somewhere). Really, I think you only need to remap the windows and Alt keys to match the apple and option keys so it should be simple once you find the utility.

Yes! very true... but its use depends on preference of course. I tend to only use that area of the keyboard (L, P, ;, and ') if I already have my hand of the mouse. -Justin |

Having said that, I should also create another script to do the opposite because I want one of those cool slim Mac Keyboards and use it with my PC rig. Shane

Free for LE users...$500 for the TDM version because their special. I'll make the remapping "sound" better for that crowd. As a side note, there was a guy years ago that planned on putting his Tyan Opteron Quad in a Mac case. Not sure if he actually pulled it off though. Shane
