I am brand new to Studio One after 20 years of using other software DAWs, mostly in Windows.

So, I've got 3 Audio PCs (currently running Windows 7, soon to update at least 2 to Windows 10), and a Macbook Pro running OSX Yosemite (likely not upgrading beyone) and dual-booted to Windows 7.

Wondering from current users who use Studio One v.3.2 in both worlds --

1. Are you getting better results in either Mac or Windows? (I'm not referring to user preferences. I'm bi-lingual here.) I'm asking about actual performance differences between platforms.

2. Are you able to transfer files back and forth between Windows and Macs machines with integrity (i.e. file structures remaining intact, plugin's loading correctly, etc.)? Like, Could I record on my Macbook and transfer files to my PC studio without issue? (and skip my Windows partition).

3. I'm also considering making my primary Audio PC into a dual-boot Hackintosh. So, any benefit of OSX on Studio One 3 would be helpful to know.

4. Does my one license allow for installing to both Mac and Windows machines?

5. I understand the license covers 5 installations. I may have just used up one on my main Windows 7 PC I'm likely going to upgrade shortly to Windows 10. Can I reclaim that? Or will that count as a 2nd installation?

Thanks so much!
