[Replied] Mac Compatible?
I didn't see Mac support listed on the store page, but I could have sworn that Cakewalk works with Macs. Can anybody clear this up for me?

I don't think the STEAM client will allow Mac install.

Our premium content providers do provide Apple Loop/AIFF versions of the content. This is something that's on our radar.

Also, our main DAW's are not compatible with Mac, but many of our Synths are. We have a few iOS apps as well.

OK, thank you, I have a friend who works in audio production and thought I would show him this since it's a pretty great price for all the software, but he only uses a mac for work. That said this is a fairly useful program either way, and I will be keeping watch on it until I have the extra cash to scoop it up one day. Thanks again for your prompt and helpful reply!

Some Bibles don't have Jesus ;)

SONAR and Music Creator are both mature Windows applications. It would take a serious re-engineering to port them over safely

OSX/Linux support for the Loop Manager isn't out of the question. Though OSX and Linux are only 4.4% of the STEAM user base combined. I'm sure this will change once steamOS launches: https://steamhost.cn/hwsurvey/

I'm confused, do you mean I get both Wav, Rex2, and Apple Loops instead of choose between Wav + Rex2 or Apple Loops + Rex2?

Right now you get Rex2 and a some Waves. We try to deliver all looping content as Rex2. This is the most DAW agnostic on Windows.

You can buy different versions from the Content Providers directly. Ideally, we'd like to offer Loop Manager as cross platform in the near future. OSx installs would get Apple Loops delivered instead of Rex2.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Yeah I have been buying sample packs from Loopmasters, but since there is a download limit, I have to organize and back up everything carefully, so it would be great if I can get sample packs from Steam, but I'm a Logic user so I have to wait for Apple Loops.

Can we also have something from Sounds To Sample? Because the download limit thing is really annoying. :p

Let us get through the Summer Sale first, haha. Maybe, I'll ask someone from marketing to reach out to them.
