Methose Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm looking at the Fireface 800, and possibly might purchase this audio interface, but wanted to know if anyone had any experience using this device on a Hackintosh with Logic Pro 8. I'm running Kalaway 10.5.1's Leopard OS on the following machine: Motherboard: Gigabyte Ultra Durable 2 GA-EX38-DS4 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Processor: Intel Q9450 Quad Core 2.66 Ghz RAM: 2x Patriot Viper 4GB(2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 HD(s): 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB 7200 RPM SATA Optical Drive: ASUS 20X DVDR with LightScribe SATA Video card: SAPPHIRE Ultimate Edition Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit PCI-E 2.0 x16 Case: Antec P182 PSU: Corsair 620W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonk13 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It should work. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=91916 RME drivers seem to work well with hackintoshes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methose Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 eh, got a digi 003 instead of the RME was a little bit work, but it is installed and working['knocks on wood'] on kalaway 10.5.1 (I haven't tested midi yet, that will be tomorrow). I used PT 7.4cs3, the 7.3 and 7.4 versions were not recognizing the device, but the "beta" version worked. I hear they are actually done with the Leopard capability on the ProTools side, but they are waiting for their partners that produce plugins o catch up to the newest mac OS.
