The sound card for Hackintosh and for work in Logic 8 on Leo 10.5.2?

 

 

About 8 years I use Cubase and I would use it more if…

 

Few days ago I installed Leopard 10.5.2 on my PC and… it works… works good.

 

Of course I always dreamt about Logic 8.

 

 

Now I think about install Logic 8 and work only there, forget Cubase and etc…

 

 

ÎÑ – Leopard 10.5.2

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 duo 6600,

Motherboard: Asus P5B Deluxe Wi FI,

RAM: 4 GB DDR2 Patriot,

Video: Nvidia GF 8800 GTS (640Mb)

HDD: Hitachi 500 Gb,

DVD ROM: Plextor DVD-RW,

Sound Card: M-Audio Audiophile 2496, (not working)

Midi Keyboards: M-Audio Axiom 61, ROLAND PC-180A

Hard Synth: CLAVIA Nord Modular G2

 

 

Could you advise 100% stable sound card (USB or Fire Wire) about 200$ for this system and Logic 8.

 

There are few moments I really want to know:

 

 

Will Logic work properly with Clavia? ( If someone uses Nord here?)

No, you don't understand me.

 

I have PCI card Audiophile 2496 and I need firewire or usb...

 

Thinking about USB Audiophile but how it works with Logic?

And... I hope Clavia release new IntelMac driver...

What about sound?

 

Does M-Audio sounds better or worse than others.

 

I read some article that Apogee Duet doesn't work on Hackintosh...

Thats is not good.

 

Maybe Firewire 410 M-Audio?

 

Oh, I know M-Audio always updates drivers... It's very important for me.

I recently built a hackintosh with:

 

Mobo: Asus P5E (on board sound working partially)

RAM: 4 Gig @ 1066

HDD: 1xRaptor 74GB for Kalyway 10.5.2, 1xSamsung 1TB 32MB Buffer for samples & projects, 1 x Seagate 160GB for Time Machine

GFX: old Geforce 6600GS with QE/CI working.

 

For audio I use an EMU 0404 USB 2.0 with Logic Pro 8.02, Ableton Live 6 and Bias Peak Pro. No problems so far :)

 

I've also tried the Multiface mkII with the PCI Interface (which you can cheaply get it from e-bay)

and the Motu Traveler Firewire. Both work OK too :)

Hello,

 

So the EMU 0404 USB 2.0 is working on a hackintosh.. I will buy it today then!

I agree: Logic is the musicians dream :)

I got myself an Echo audiofire 2 Firewire

and it sounds great and rock solid with logic studio 8

if you need more inputs get the audiofire 4 , 8 or 12 GREAT QUALITY!

I work with a m-audio 1814 firewire and Logic and a Pb5 deluxe wifi (only my serialrs 232 doesnt work). Everything work great and stable. M-audio is making new driver all the time.

I work with Logic for almost 20 years, it is anbeatable...

I have an old motu 2408 and never tested. Someone?

Hey I wanted to thank you for your post. Now my hackintosh is running kalyway 10.5.2 on a P5E3 Deluxe mobo with a MOTU 8Pre running Logic Studio 8.02 perfectly at 32 samples latency. I may have given up again if it weren't for finding your post.

 

Thanks!

Hi mate

 

My set up is as follows:

Gigabyte GA-31M-ES2L

Core 2 Duo E7400

2 Gb Crucial RAM

Gefore 7300GT (XFX)

Belkin Firewire PCI card (Texas Instruments chip)

Presonus Firebox (Definitely in your price range. Good review in SOS- http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul05/articles/firebox.htm )

 

All working hunky dory on 10.5.8. Make sure your Firewire bus/chip is a Texas Instruments though or you might have problems. I did with a Lacie card (VIA) until I swapped it for the Belkin.

 

Also I got a Nord Lead 1 midi-ed up to the Firebox. Works fine. If that helps.

 

Good luck.

 

P.S. Make sure you're running as close to a Vanilla kernel as possible. Fully is recommended esp for audio.

Hi could you tell me the right version of your Belkin Firewire PCI card? so i can buy one like yours and make sure my presonus firebox will work.

 

Thanks!
