Switching from PC to Mac

Post by mortenm » Fri Mar 30, 2007 7:27 am

Hi all. I have today decieded to sell my desktop PC and buy a iMac as a replacement. I have lots of Live sets (both audio and midi) that are recorded and stored on an external hard drive. Will there be any problems to open and work further on these Live sets when I shall open them on a Mac instead of the PC? I have mainly used ableton plugins, but aslo some standalone VST-plugins. I will of course get the Mac version of these plugins. Thanks!

There shouldn't be any issues. I switched a few months back, everything I did on my PC opened fine on the Mac.

You can read everything OK on that external drive, but if it's formatted as NTFS you won't be able to write to it.
