Anyone ever run FL Studio on Mac?

Hey there, just wondering if anyone has completed the FL Studio on a mac installation. I know you can do through Wine Bottler or boot camp but both seem like they would cause a performance hit. If you have successfully done this please let me know! thanks in advance

Bootcamp won't cause a performance hit, you are simply booting into windows like a regular pc would.

I've run programs with Bootcamp. They are essentially the same as running them on Windows because you are in fact running them on Windows. All Bootcamp is doing is telling the computer to use Windows instead of OSX. OSX is not running the same time as Windows when using Bootcamp so it's the same as any Windows PC.

Where you might run into performance problems with FL on a Mac is if you were using Parallels which does run both OS's at the same time. Parallels is a separate software that you have to buy. Bootcamp comes already installed on a Mac. You will need to own a full version of Windows with both.
