Hi Guys,

today i sucessfully installed a Logic Audio Pro 7 on my native OSX (Deadmoo Image) Machine in the following way:

 

1. dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\.\PhysicalDrive(your Number!) bs=512K

- This created a ready OSX partiton on an old 8,4GB Harddisk (IBM)

 

2. I deleted AppleTPMACPI.kext in System/Extensions folder

I used MAC Drive 6 Software on WinXP to get access to the OSX System

from Windows

- This should speed up the system performance

 

3. I deleted the ATIRadeon9700.kext

- This is to avoid that the OSX has to be started with -x (in safe Mode cause of

graphic problems)

 

4. I changed the deadmoo password in the following way:

Press any Key (countdown at start) and after that type -s (in Darwin Console

before OSX starts)

then type "sh /etc/rc" and then "passwd deadmoo"

now you can set a new password.

 

5. Now i installed the Maxxus SSE3 to SSE2 Patch 0.4:

- get the Patch! (look at this Forum!)

- Start the OSX

- Start the "Terminal" App in Ultities Folder

- type "cd (your Path to the Patch!)"

- Type "sudo ./install.sh" to start the patch application

 

6. Install "Apple Logic Pro 7" and a "crack"

 

My used Hardware:

 

- Asus K8V-X VIA KT-800 Chipset

VT-8237

Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit LAN controller

ADI AD1980 SoundMax Audio

 

- AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU

 

- 1GB RAM

 

- Radeon 9600XT (Sapphire)

- Event Gina Audiocard

- Emagic MT-4 Midi- Interface

 

My "problem Hardware" :

- Network does not work

- Audio "AC-97 Sound" applied in the sound options, but theres no sound

- I installed a GINA driver for OSX, but there is no sound and no Gina at the

audio options

- I installed a EMAGIC MT-4 Driver for OSX and there is no MIDI- Interface

- The Drivespeed (XBench 1.2) is only 6 MB/sec.

 

It could be that the installed drivers are PPC optimized and do not work on x86 machines?!

 

Has anyone a tip or solution to get run the "problem" Hardware???

 

After i started LOGIC PRO 7, i tested different functions and it seems to work.

I can imagine that it could be work fine if i get run my "problem" hardware.

 

Write your experiences! :)

As I understand it only onboard audio cards work atm. Wich doesn't do us logic interested people any good as you can't do anything without an ASIO soundcard(low latency). So I dont think we can ado anything untill they release some drivers for cards like my audiophile :P

 

TO answer your poll I am only interested in X for logic 7 I am a musician and not to savy on all this linux and edit stuff. Well the sweet GUI and smooth app / workflow of X interest me also :(

do you have sse3 micline?

im using patch v4

loaded logic express demo.. works fine for me. cant get my hardware going aswell

i have rme hardware but not fireface.. fireface is the only one with osx86 drivers

mucking around with logic and ableton live demo's under rosetta

functionality is there but performance is roughly 5 times what it should be

maxing out logics performance meter with 8 tracks of audio with 4 inserts on each track

my soundcard (ac97) is stuck at 48k so playback is fast and pitched up as expected

ableton live has same performance... demo song plays back at 20% during intro... bar 9 where everything kicks in shoots performance meter to 70% audio drops out

ableton live on my xp boot with no overclock plays that same demo song at 2% during intro.. 5-7% at bar 9

 

so after my short testing i figured one thing...

either us audio guys really gotta wait for universal binaries and no rosetta for pro apps like these

specially when using lotsa plugins.. or its just slow for me cuz of the sse3 patch

i dont think its the crappy soundcards.. core audio on mac with {censored} soundcards works great normally...

if you have sse3 id be curious to hear your performance.

when i run xbench under rosetta i get almost the same performance as universal

either the "real time apps" dont like the translator or its the patch slowing me down.. thats why i asked if you had sse3

if you have a chance could you load up some audio in logic and tell us howmany plugz you can get open and what type of stress its putting on your cpu..

i voted no because im a nuendo and ableton user.. no sense to limit my performance for a nicer looking gui.

logic i switched from since version 4.. havent looked back since..

ill problably use xp for audio since its flawless..

let everyone else troubleshoot core audio and core midi and when it matures into a stable and more thesable option id consider switching..

but asio and vst format just rule... optimized.. matured..not to mention that apple forgot to include direct monitoring features in core audio... big mistake... been a part of asio since day one.

 

ill probably use osx for all my internet needs.. that and mucking about.

what i really want is to set up a dedicated mac computer strickly for 2 things that are currenly only for mac... one being altiverb the other being serato pitch and time for adr work

I haven't got SSE3. So i used the Maxxuss Patch 0.4 too.

 

Today i downloaded the "Marklar-Tiger.dmg" Image, "Generic_OSx86_Install_DVD_Patcher_Release1" and installed a new fresh

OSX native.

 

The system performance is regrettably not better than a "DEADMOO Image" installation.

 

I did'nt solve the following problems:

 

- Hardisc performance (is only 7MB/s)

- AC97 no sound no card at the system profile

- No Network support/card at the system profile

 

hmm.

 

I think in a lot of cases the "Marklar-Tiger.dmg" and "Generic_OSx86_Install_DVD_Patcher_Release1" works better.

 

Nevertheless it is all fantastic work!!! And this forum is excellent!!!

 

 

I will write down further experiences with LOGIC PRO 7. :lol:

 

 

Regards,

MICLINE

Well I donot think the version you running sucessfully is Logic Pro 7 , but Logic Express 7 !

 

You can find out that the EXS24 sampler is called "EXSP24" in Logic Express 7 , the EXSP24 cannot stream samples from the disk ,this will kill your memeory greatly!!

Hi, I have an other problem with my emi A26. I have installed drivers n mac os x 10.4.6 (on IBM t42) but the sound card doesn't work. Even in System Preferences/Sound I see only the AC97 internal sound card.

While with drivers for MT4 it seems working fine. Can you help me to install Emi A26 on my mac?

 

Thank you

Mario
