      Whatever other platform you're on (Mac or Linux) you can run a virtual Windows machine which could simplify things for you.

      I'm on Mac using Parallels and it works great.

        @xxx as @dannytaurus says, use virtual machines. I believe you can also run builds with github

          @xxx Yes, virtual machines are better if you have a fast Mac. I do have an $80 Windows laptop just for testing the plugin, but compiling HISE and the plugin on it takes ages.

            thanks for the replies! i still may go the laptop route though, so i can test the plugins and keep everything organized. any recommendations ?

            and are there any videos on how to compile plugins through a virtual machine??

              It's not different to compiling on the real hardware. You can also test it on it too.

                The advantage of virtual machines, if you have a powerful enough computer, is that you can load multiple different OS versions. This would be the equivalent of having a handful of laptops, each running a different version of Win/Mac/Linux OS.

                Another advantage of something like Parallels on Mac is you can drag and drop between the main macOS and the virtual machine. Very handy for moving files, installers, etc to the virtual machine.

                  Most of my videos for the past few months have been recorded on a virtual machine.

                  If you really want to buy a new system I recommend getting a system you can setup as a Proxmox server to run virtual machines. I'm using an Intel NUC, but there are cheaper options with more CPU/RAM.

                  VMs are also very useful when it comes to customer service, you can spin up a system with roughly the same configuration as the user and that can often help to narrow down system specific issues.

                    okay cool .

                    any videos on getting started?

                    when running a virtual machine, does it work like a normal laptop?

                    i’d install windows hise on it etc

                    files still saved on my mac?

                      Yep, it's just like using real hardware.

                      They'd be saved in the VMs virtual drive. You can create a shared drive between your real system and virtual one to transfer files, or some VM software allows you to drag n drop files between the host and VM.

                          You need to compile HISE from source before you export your project.

                              @xxx Yes, but that video will be deleted soon as I had to rework the part about fftw which has changed recently in HISE. New video will be uploaded soon.
