Hi everyone, I am looking for building my first Hackintosh for my music production work. As a film composer, I use a lot of virtual plug-ins as Symphonic orchestra sound bank witch are every time more powerful and ask a lot of processor and Ram. My latest Mac is getting mad and I can't work without error of performance running every time I work. So I have to create something powerful to be quiet for a long time.
My master software are : Logic Audio X, Protools 12, Adobe Live 9
Soundcard : Prism Orpheus audio card
SSL Madi express Pcie for audio mady connection to my SSL convertor AlphaLink (with an SSL matrix mixing board)
Before buying all the components, I would like to have some advices of any of you who has builded a Hackingtosh for Music production.
1) witch OS between 10.13 and 10.14 ?
Maybe I am wrong, but I think I will start with the choice of MACOS 10.13 Hi Sierra, as many software are not yet all ready for Mojave.
If someone use already mojave with music software ?
2 ) i7 9700k 8core or i9 9900k 8 core ?
Is those two processors compatible with Mac Os 10.13 ? I think the i7 yes but I am not sure with the i9 ?
So I hesitate between two configurations :
3) My 1st configuration running on Mac OS 10.13 :
_ Intel Core i7-9700K coffee Lake 8 core 3,6Ghz
_ Mother board GIGABYTE Z390 DESIGNARE
_ Graphic card : MSI AMD RX 580 Armour 8 go
_ RAM : CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB (4 x 16GB)
_ SSD MACOS&SOFTWARE : 1TB Samsung 970 PRO, M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD
_ Mid Tower : be quiet! Silent Base 601
Or 2nd configuration running on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave :
_ Intel Core i9-9900K coffee Lake 8 core 3,6Ghz
_ Mother board GIGABYTE Z390 DESIGNARE
_ Graphic card : MSI AMD RX 580 Armour 8 go
_ RAM : CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB (4 x 16GB)
_ SSD MACOS&SOFTWARE : 1TB Samsung 970 PRO, M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD
_ Mid Tower : be quiet! Silent Base 601
Witch configuration do you think will better work now ? I am not looking for over clock unless necessary for running big music cessions.
4) For the mid tower : is the be quiet! 601 a good choice ? I saw other configuration with Phanteks Evolv X but more expensive.
Thank you all of you for your advices, helps !
Can't wait to have your feedback
