Because i just finished sorting out myself a hackintosh, got the osx on it all sorted, just need a soundcard, which is on its way and logic, also in the post

Just wondering if any of you peeps have ever used an osx86 machine for producing and how stable is it?


Anyways, its past my bedtime and i got work in the morning so i bid you goodnight xx

i want a hackintosh just to test apogee cards on it like a duet or one
that and love to be able to do direct logic collabs

I was actually thinking in investing in one of these machines-

yea since you linked that a prebuilt looks rather nice for the first time

I've heard from a number of people that tested the apogee duet on hackintoshs that it works great.

I have a hackintosh here.
It's pretty good!
I have some issues with logic crashing really occasionally and I know the boys at the studio say that it never crashed on them on legit versions of OSX and Logic so...
I'm back on the PC running cubase because I find the workflow too slow in Logic and Cubase runs really stable for me.

even imac or pro i manage to crash acs easily
joys of my fx chains and busses
i want to do osx though

If I get too fed up with the daw situation in pc land, I'll defo go hackingtosh.

Not sure but is a hackingtosh a PC with Mac OS? Do Mac only programs like Logic work with PC hardware? That would be sweet!

an hackintosh is exactly that... Its basically finding the right combo of hardware so it runs osx without problems i'm sure there some sort of special OS build involved too I have looked into it a little bit!



On the subject - I'd deffo go for a pre-built for my first hackintosh, just so I know it'll work! Though, the thing with an hackingtosh is that you can't use bootcamp, so you'd have to go have an hackingtosh and a windows set up, unless you run dual boot but I don't even know if you can do that!? D:

I'm really wanting to get a mac or a hackingtosh though so I can make my PC run linux and have a dedicated production machine.

Off topic but is the os x build of cubase as stable as windows or would it be worth just getting logic!?

Think if you could use logic, why would you enter the cube?

Think running a dual boot would be extremely simple with the hack. Didn't know you couldn't run boot camp though, Y?

Boot camp IS duel booting two OS's

And it is supposedly possible on a hackintosh as long as you have your windows on an entirely separate HD, not one HD partitioned into two.

I think its down to the os actually being modified in a hackintosh, so it might mes up the bios...

btw i have a no clue what im on about

Fair play, I know what bootcamp is, I just thought it was native to Apple hardware only apart from doing A LOT of fucking around with very low chances of clear results since hackingtoshes need a special version of os x? I dunno I was researching all this when hackingtoshes first started cropping up a lot so they might of fixed the (kernal issit?) issues.

I know nothing about this, is boot camp a virtualized os, or is it just a dual boot?

Its a way that apple makes it easy for us OS X users to create a pc partition on our hard drives to run windows natively as a duel boot system.
No emulation as apple are now using pc spec hardware in their machines. I have it on my machine for some apps that i cant get on my mac, aka z3ta
