Hi Everyone! I built a Hackintosh for my studio and Im a bit of a n00b here. It works great except for a very annoying issue that it does every now and then. When I boot up I have to immediately play a track from Spotify and see if the Audio interface (that is hooked up via thunderbolt) is working. If it's not, I restart and that usually fixes it. Sometimes the issue is the audio interface and my iLok not showing up simultaneously. A couple restarts later and they both come up like nothing happened. I also have Sonarworks Reference 4 Systemwide that was set to override the Audio interface as main but I've deactivated that and I still have the issue.

I’m a newbie on Reddit and I’m looking to build my own Mac for audio production. Need a fast processor, at least 64 gigs of ram, 4 TB solid state drive with the option to expand with additional drives, hdmi port for ultra wide screen, usb-c, usb 3, thunderbolt 2, and at least one FireWire 800 port. Any recommendation on cost efficient parts that don’t skimp on performance? Would really appreciate any guidance and or recommendations. submitted by /u/Acrobatic-Piccolo906 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hey all! I need a hand. As the title says, I am thinking about building a hackintosh for running Pro Tools and some other audio software. PT will likely be the heaviest software running on it. Anyways, would this be a good idea to do? I currently have a 2020 MacBook Pro (custom ordered but not 100% top of the line) and it's running Catalina. I would prefer Catalina as I like a lot of how it runs but if another OS is better I'm more than willing to give it a shot. I've never built a PC before but I have replaced some hardware and am pretty confident in my ability to be cautious enough to not break anything. So, I have no idea where to start with hardware. I know Mac OS's are picky with hardware. Here's a handful of things I would like to have, if possible: Kickass sound card for obvious reasons 4k graphics. Maybe not high-end gaming 4k, but Pro Tools on the 3072 display of the MacBook is notably better compared to 1080p and makes life a lot easier. I would also ...

Enjoy, nice for this Valentine's Day
