andia Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hello! currently i use 4 uad1 cards in my hackintosh (OSX 10.5.2) with logic 8.02. it's a real pain in the ass, because as soon as i reach to 50% on the uad-meter the main cpu begins to spike and playback stops randomly bringing up overload messages. also i experience out of sync messages. I have read that this is also the case with 8-core macpros and logic using uad1's. my question is if anyone is experiencing the same problems, and if you think that maybe another host (cubase, ...) is resolving the problem. also I want to ask if anybody already tried the new UAD-2 card with hackintoshes (under heavy load of course) than you, andi just tested with reaper...I can max out the UAD-Cards to the limit. must be a logic-thing.

macita Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 SOLD HEM AND BUY AN UAD-2 quad wrks very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 what about updating the OS X? imho since 10.5.5 the problems didn´t disappear completely, but the system runs smoother with less cpu spikes.ok - i have only one uad 1 in my sytem, but the same problems before. what also helps a little bit is to avoid space designer in the same song......and use lower buffer rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macita Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 also tested with cubase 4...can max out the uad's to 96% along with a maxxed out Duende PCie!! Logic is a piece of {censored}!!!! Are u sure about logic? did u check the official logic forum? On real macs it works!!! I saw your post also on the efi-x forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andia Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 don't get me wrong, i really like logic, but if i can not work with it as I want to, it makes no sense. I need a reliable and stable programm and logic 8 is not. I'm quite sure that it is a logic problem, because it works well in all other hosts i tested...many mac pro users have problems with cpu spiking in conjunction with uad1 cards. I hope a logic update will solve this problem soon. ps: I'm happy to hear that the UAD2 quad runs successfully in your system. it's the next thing that I will buy for my system. then I can ditch the uad1's.
