Congrats on getting the job!
Out of all those apps only Ardour, Mixbus and Hydrogen have official Mac ports as far as I'm aware- js_wrap should be easy enough to compile yourself I'd imagine if you get Xcode.
You'll prob be happy enough using JACKpilot, the OSX JACK gui bundled with JACKOSX although I have heard of qjackctl osx packages floating around although I don't think Rui has a Mac or provides any OSX support although theoretically it shold all 'just work' anyway I suppose if you get it to compile and JACK is installed.
Note that the OSX version of A2 doesn't support LV2 plugins!
Which brings me nicely onto my ponderings on OSX/Linux compatibility wrt the upcoming Ardour 3 OSX - Mr Davis and drobilla I'm looking at you here mainly, of course.
Will we:
* Be able to use VST(i)s under Ardour 3 OSX? If it doesn't make 3.0 I'm sure public outcry will make it inevitable for 3.1! ;)
* Be able to save a session using lxvsts like NoiseMaker under A3 Linux then open that session under A3 OSX if we have the correct VSTs installed or may lxvsts be incompatible with a Mac native VST(i)?
* Least unlikely I know but would there be any chance I could save a project using Linuxsampler as a LV2 under A3 Linux then load the same project using the AU version of Linuxsampler under OSX?
I'm sure Shane would like to know to!
Happy Mondays!

They want us to use "...the same software that was used for the submission..." - yay for Linux audio!
Now, my singer has a shiny new mac laptop. I have a linux based laptop and a linux tower will be added on commencement of the job. We want to have a common application stack, and hook everything up with netjack.
On my box I'm using latest dev sources, which I will freeze:
Jack2
Qjackcontrol
js_wrap
Ardour2 (Hopefully purchase Mixbus for the project)
Rosegarden (scoring)
QTractor (sequencing, instrument host)
Hydrogen
Xjadeo
ladspa/dssi/lv2/vst (win)
What are the options here on the mac side?
Using netjack on the mac ... how? Is there a gui?
Is there any kind of session support on the mac or am I better off using shell scripts?
I have exactly zero experience with macs, it's all new. I do not want to use sources.
