Harloe Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Perhaps someone can fill in the blanks.. On a Hackintosh (custom built, not a laptop or current desktop from a company like Dell) will applications like Logic, Reason, Pro Tools, etc run on a Hackintosh without issues? If there are issues, what are they? Thanks for reading and I hope you can help! =D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96935-logic-on-a-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jricks92 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 On my hackintosh i have Logic Pro 8. It runs fine but sometimes it unexpectedly quits. This is probably because i'm running it on an SSE2 only processor (pentium 4). I bet it would run fine on something with and SSE3 processor though. Good Luck!

penarol Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi I work with Logic 8.0.1 in Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 (See my com specs At the bottom) I work every day over 6 hours. Work like a charm!!!!!!!!

Totally recomended Cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96935-logic-on-a-hackintosh/#findComment-692433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harloe Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for the responses guys, recently come into contact with some money and I can't afford to build a Mac Pro right now but I've found an extremely nice gaming case that will make a great Windows machine as well as a good OSx86 box! Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't face serious issues running Logic in an OSx86 environment! I'll be on a Pentium 4 also.

section_14 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm running Logic 8.0 on my hackintosh and it runs very stable. I think it crashed once but, that was just an app issue, not a hackintosh issue. I'm just using the onboard realtek audio for now. I plan on upgrading to a firewire soundcard very soon.

Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't face serious issues running Logic in an OSx86 environment! I'll be on a Pentium 4 also. I wouldnt recommend a P4 for running Logic 8, or any intensive-cpu-load audio app. Off course it will give you a taste of what can be done but you wouldnt have enough processing power for real audio production. I would go for a dual core cpu (some are cheap this days). Anyway, if you still want the P4 be shure is a prescott or later (earlier p4 only support SSE2), and would be wise to run logic 7 instead (seems to be less cpu demanding than the new version) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96935-logic-on-a-hackintosh/#findComment-700887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
