ZackMacAttack Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I am a recording tech and I just made the jump from recoding on a Windows based PC to Mac OS X Based Here is a list of Audio Interfaces that are OS X Compatible. (So says the manufacturer's) PreSonus FireStudio Mac: MacOS X 10.4.x or later, PowerPC G4/Dual 1 GHZ or faster, all Intel-based Mac models On-board FireWire port. 512 MB RAM, 1 GB recommended M-Audio Fast Track MKII USB Audio Interface OS X 10.4.11 G4 processor (G4 cards not supported) 1GB RAM 1 native USB port Phonic Firefly 808 "Dual FireWire ports for daisy chaining and direct connection to Mac or PC" Blue Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp Macintosh: Mac OSX with USB 1.0 or 2.0 and 64 MB RAM (minimum) And if you have more interfaces that work with OS X Just post them and i will add them.

nikjenikje Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 - Line 6 POD Studio (all versions) - All M-Audio devices - All Apogee devices - All Digidesign devices Edit: all osx snow leopard compatible I have a Line 6 POD Studio UX-2. Works with my MacBook running Snow Leopard. Unfortunately I haven't got it to work with my Hackintosh install yet, but that's a problem with my USB in OSX I guess.

toilleurs Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I can confirm that my Line6 Podxt pro works with my hackintosh! One of my friends has a Macbook pro 17" and a Line6 Podx3 live and it works too. I think all Line6 devices are Mac/hack compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG Studio Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I´m using a profire 610 from maudio with no problems at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olumx86 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 tested on 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 - Mackie D4Pro Firewire Mixer (the D2Pro should work as well, same FirewireCard) - Edirol UA-25EX (I guess all UAs will work except the real old ones) Mainboards - Gigabyte GA-EX58UD4P - Gigabyte GA-EP45DS5 - Asus P5B Deluxe - Asus Rampage Formula X48 All combinations work well, partly better than the onboard Soundcard of the (first) Gigabyte (ALC889A on both Gigabytes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is AMAZING, i was running SPIF into a Proceed AVP2 into a pair of McIntosh MC402 amps driving a pair of Magnapan MG3.6R's was great before but 2 channel audio this way is amazing. need to buy more 24/96 recordings! magnilanar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualGuitarist Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi Donjave, i would suggest you to buy an external pci(e) firewire 400 card, if possible choose one that have a Texas Instruments chipset, as it's seems the best recommended FW chip for audio. Though i've red in the focuscrite site that the Saffire product line can work also with VIA chipsets. Personally i have an old LSI pci FW card, and have no problem with it. I suggest also that you try to disable the internal audio (the chipset on your mother board) in the BIOS. Hope that'll help to solve all your problems ! - - - I have a little problem too : I'm a happy owner of a Focuscrite Liquid Saffire 56, wich works very well in SL 10.6.6 with Logic Studio, but the system volume slider (in the menu bar) does not work (greyed). I know there's a workaround for HDA (thanks to VoodooHDA), but i can't find any for Firewire audio cards. I know of course that i can use Mixcontrol (the app shipped with the card) to control volumes, but this greyed/non-working audio slider is generally symptomatic of a compatibility problem. I think we need a sort of "enabler" for firewire audio cards. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
