carl darling Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I know mac specific software can be run on a hackintosh, but what about mac specific hardware has anyone had any success with an apogee soundcard on firewire or any dsp cards such as the uad quad (PCI) or an ssl duende (firewire).. i know thats not mac specific but i would also be interested in finding out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the pci i don't know. I'll buy soon a m-audio usb card that works on windows and macintosh booth, a guy that use it on hackintosh is ready to swear that works like a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 They work great if your system works great, but for Firewire audio/video interfaces you'd want a Firewire 800 interface with Texas Instruments chipset to ensure stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what is their set up, hardware and software OS? By the way thanks guys for such a speedy reply much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I've installed UAD PCI and various RME and Apogee interfaces on {censored}loads of different motherboards with no problems, as long at they meet the system requirements everything should be alright. Basically, if you have a PCIe soundcard you need a motherboard with PCIe slot (like 99.9% of today's motherboards) and if you have a FW one then you need a motherboard with FW interface or a FW card (preferably with TX chipset) etc...
