Why not make it easy on yourself. You got a good deal on the mac so sell it for a profit. Buy yourself a pc laptop and load up Vegas, the program you like so much at home. Since you're on the road 9 months (I'd be curious to know what band you play with and where your long tour takes you) you won't have to limit yourself to only 3 months of Vegas. My brother's a mac head and he says the emulators are like condoms, only worth it if you have no other options.
The reason people on this forum probably took offense is that you imply Vegas is not 'pro' and your tours of so many studios make you hip to the 'mac is really better' scene. Many folks on these forums are very experienced pros using Vegas pretty exclusively. Those of us that have tried just about everything at some point find Vegas to be at the top of the heap for a lot of reasons. Not perfect but very strong.
Best reply: If you want to use Vegas get a PC laptop and if not, find software for the mac that does what you want.

Tuck,

As far as this: " I was refering to studios that I have been in, and yes I have been in a lot ,so what , sorry if that bothers anyone. I think I came in with a valid question and it got turned around to be a debate about mac or pc."

This debate is your own fault since you seem to have taken the Mac side right away. Here's a tip - in this forum (and I hope I speak for several others in here), we don't acknowledge nor care about the MAC. Sure - it's out there...sure - some studios use it and sure some moldy overpriced software seems to work on it but I will not be told that my work is not of professional level quality because I do not use a Mac.

The Mac and it's underpowered hardware and limited software are an overpriced, overhyped medium that has somehow enthralled a very small group of users into thinking that this platform matters.

Sonic Foundry develops very fine software for Microsoft Windows based PC's. Get a PC and join the party. Simple as that.

Pro work is done by pro people on good equipment, not amateur people on good equipment. Get yourself a PC, learn the craft, and you'll do good work. The hammer you choose to use to nail the boards together is irrelevant.
