What is the best setup for running logic on 10.5.2?

[buschdogg]

Hey gang... here's my current setup..

 

Core 2 duo @ 2.8 ghz (forget which one, but it's stable)

Gigabyte GA-965p-s3

Asus 7300GT PCIexpress card

2 gb ddr2 ram.. (forget the brand)

420 gb's of hard drive space

Presonus Firepod

and an assortment of firewire cards - dynex 3 port, two via vt6306 cards, and an old TI that isn't recognized at all..

 

 

I want to run logic... I've had no luck with the firepod working correctly in 10.5.2 or 10.5.3... will I have to ditch the firepod? Who has gotten logic working on 10.5.2 in here, if anyone? What is your setup? I'm willing to change motherboards and/or soundcards to get this working right, but if I change soundcards I need another with at least 4 inputs and outputs, under 500 bucks via ebay or other means, and if possible, rack-mountable...

 

Thanks for any advice!

I have all 50 gigs of Logic and all Native Instruments running flawlessly. My setup is an Intel qx6700 Quad Core 2.67.

Motherboard is an Asus P5W DH Deluxe

4 gigs of OCZ Reaper RAM (800 Mhz)

640 gig WD Serial ata Hard drive

ATI X1950 Pro video card

ALC882 built in digital sound...I know its not a professional sound card. I have not tried any of the USB or Firewire external ones yet. But Logic outputs to my headphones, stereo, or anything really

I had some problems installing the full package at first because of video card driver errors, but once I got the correct driver with everything enabled on the video end Logic installed great. I even updated Logic from Apple with no problem to 8.0.2.

I am using Leo4All V3 with the included sound and network and chipset drivers. It runs beautifully I have loaded all included demos and have had well over 24 audio tracks with about a dozen audio instruments running at once and it didn't even break a sweat

my saffire 26 works perfect with 26 IO´s.

maybe you should try the focusrite saffire with 10 IO´s.

Hi buschdogg, I'd download and use 10.4.9 with your setup, at least for the short term. Here is my tale of woa.

 

 

I’ve got a hiccup problem with my Presonus FirePod (via firewire). For a quarter of a second my sound drops out in Logic Express 8.0.1 and iTunes. I haven’t tried it in Garage Band yet. I’ve tried isolating the issue and it seems to be 10.5.x, hackintosh and a firewire problem. I can play back a project / music / sound fine from an iMic and from internal sound but when I use the firewire/FirePod the dropout is there. It is an irregular drop out, might be 30 seconds to an hour between dropouts.

 

I’ve tried on 2 hackintoshes (specs in sig) and my G4 duel 1gig. The hackies both hiccup, the G4 doesn’t. Also 10.4.9 works fine on the hackies but 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 doesn’t. Fortunately, I kept a 10.4.9 HD on both hackies so I’m still up and running but... it would sure be nice to figure out this problem.

 

Also, I just tried a firewire camera on one of the hackies with 10.5.3 and it worked fine. Seems to be just the FirePod (or core audio or....)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
