Harloe Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Just wanna know what audio interfaces you all use for music creation =] I use an MBox-2 at the moment on Pro Tools LE 7 but I'd like to bump up my rig! The Native Instruments Audio Kontrol looks nice =] Oh does anyone have any issues with running Audio Interfaces on Hackintoshes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyTreacle Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i use a motu 828mkii usb - have done for a year or so on my pc - it's great. i stuck it thru logic on my mbp and on my hackintosh and it appears to work flawlessly - the motu mac drivers are way better than pc i am gonna buy an mbox 2 pro factory firewire for my mbp shortly as i need to start using pro tools, will try it out on my hackintosh too and report with some results in a month or two.

jeff300 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm using a Tascam US-122. Tried it so far with Logic 8, GarageBand, Amplitube 2 and Reason 4. Seems to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laneyanders Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 24bit USB interface Edirol UA1-EX - very cheap, very good. Since I use Hack Mac, Garageband and Logic my creative output is multiplied. Never want to go back to Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laneyanders Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Mackie Onyx Satellite - plugged in a cheap no name firewire card on my HackMac OS X 5.5. It is sold out in germany now for a low price (159 €, was 500€ in 2006), offers 2 very good mic preamps and 6 outputs on the base station. Great device, works ootb (no driver needed) with low latency. Great for DJs and other musicians who need to control the music by a seperate headphone channel. Don't use the bundled Tracktion sequencer software because this DAW sucks (kvraudio.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHunt79 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 No one using onboard? I only need stereo out, so the Co-ax digital out works well up to my DCX 2496...

Threepwood Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thye Edirol UA-25 is a great interface. Has worked flawlessly with both XP and OS X. Solid operation, great sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 yes - selling records. but don´t waste your money. there won´t be any return of invest I've spent enough on synth's and other things, I figure as I'm using an outboard DAC then I should be getting pretty good sound... That said, the output from my DCX2496 can be improved with some modding but I don't want to risk killing it with my questionable soldering...

peach-os Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 for serious work I would say that a good DAC is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_man_on_campus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi I have a really frustrating problem. Running Logic 8.02 Kalyway 5.4 on a P5WD (2 gig ram. 3 gig dual core) with an RME HDSP 9652. The issue I have is that when I run at low latency (32, 64, 128 samples) I keep getting CPU overload messages. Now I know this is a problem other MAC users are experiencing, but it happens even on relativly small sessions with low cpu usage. It happens intermitantly. Sometimes it doesn't happen for a while and then it'll happen every time I try to play or record a part in a session. The CPU meter spikes (one of the cores) from a small amount into overload. I have read about the work around i.e. deselecting inputs but this doesn't work at all. I thought it could have been a PCI bottle neck due to the older card I'm using but some of you guys here are running the 9632 without a hitch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
