I was always annoyed with extra wire that was simply not connected anywhere. I wanted a power supply with a modular design. 13"+ from card rail to the hard drive bay. I chose the Antec P280 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case. I decided that my build was NOT going to be silent, rather, very, very quiet - and that opened up many alternatives. The MacPro aluminum case is a BRILLIANT design. Removing the drive bays was NOT going to be an option for me. So I originally bought a well reviewed case: Fractal Design Define R3 VERY few mid-tower cases have room for ProTools HD cards. I failed to consider the HD cards were 12.375 inches long.

Sample library drives (if you use VI)Īnd all necessary wire to connect the dots.ġ. Now what?Ī hackintosh build for protools HD cards will have the following:ġ0. Unless you know why you want to spec a specific part, how do you know? Speccing the parts was as much a challenge as putting it together - and to some degree, the MOST IMPORTANT step in the process. Apple decides which case, power supply, and every other element in the box.

There are many threads and many posts from some key players - but most of the builders assume you can spec and build a PC! Mac guys have been spoiled since day one. So I made the decision to build this "beast". The moment people speak of pulling out the Dremel, I run. Many users were reporting success with the JetWay JNAF92-Q67 - a mobo with 4 PCI slots that were NATIVE (not bridged), accepts an i7 2600k CPU, up to 32 gb ram, and most importantly, the HD cards fit on the mobo without having to destroy/modify the cards or the heatsinks. ProTools HD 10.2 was officially supported in 10.7.4 ģ.

The ability to "simply" install 10.7.4 directly, without updates or command line was the most important element Ģ. This is a tool to install OSX 10.7.4 installer (latest build) onto a USB flash drive, with the "bootlaoder" called Chimera (which you really don't need to know anything about to do this). The deciding factor was a bunch of issues all coming together at about the same time:ġ. And I don't want to be caught in a pants-down situation - I'm a professional! But how tricky is it, really? The hackintosh community appears to have thousands and thousands of people. Hackintosh sounds terribly scary! I'm not a hacker. So that means you MUST use a mobo from a very short list. HOWEVER - this is the big however, the Protools community discovered that PCI must be "native" to the chipset of the mobo.

You CAN use HD cards in standard PCI slots. The last section of pins are unused - there for support or to look pretty, but not connected to anything. There are very few motherboards (mobo) that will work with Protools HD PCI cards note: everyone calls them PCI-X - they are NOT PCI-X cards - they are long, very long (more on that later) but electronically, they are "simply" PCI. So why not build a hackinotsh with PCI slots?

I do not have those skills in Windows world.

I want iCloud and iTunes and Appstore and besides, as a guy who has both Win and Mac, if something breaks in macOS, I can usually fix it.

WHY can't I simply build a PC and use PT10HD on a Win7 machine? Others have done this? But I am a mac guy, and I want integration. And then I learned that my TDM plugin investment was at least a year away from working in DSP - "so run in native" - so I will pay $7000 for a crossgrade to HDX + a new MacPro (by this point we are looking at $6k for a 12-core mac) and I still am a year from really using my system. I was going to wait for the next-gen protools hardware from Avid. I can buy a Macpro for less you say? Not configured how I would want it. Or some put their PCI(x) cards into a $2000 magma chassis. Why spend $6000 for a card exchange just to have to buy a new $5000 computer? Yeah, I know many of you did just that. I passed on the "opportunity" to buy all new (or trade up) PCI(x) HD cards for PCIe at every opportunity. But I was jumping through hoops and any failure of any machine would be catastrophic for my productivity. BUT everything worked, my library was well organized and productive, and I made some pretty impressive sounding records. I also had Gigastudio running on the WinXP slave - and that machine was tired. I was able to work, but it required some thought - multiple slaves. To survive, I enlisted (2) slave computers - both underpowered, and both were running VEPro, and hosting VST and AU virtual instruments. My story begins with an HD3 system in a G5/2.7DP with 8GB ram. This is going to be a VERY long post, as there is lots to share. There have been many reports about successful hackintosh builds, and I want to share my story, hoping it will help the community, just as others have helped me.
