music build

I’m looking for a cheap laptop that I could run Mainstage 3/Logic Pro on with little latency. I could get a used 2015 MacBook Air for $250-300 from Best Buy—are there any cheaper PC laptops with similar specs and known working Hackintosh methods available?

Hi all, I am using a basic MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2015. For music production, I use Fl Studio 20 and Pro tools, my MacBook has become way too slow, especially when creating a track with multiple instances of Omnisphere for example. So I want to upgrade to a bigger and better machine, but...

Hi All I'm embarking on my first build and in the interest of doing things properly I wanted to ask if you could look over my proposed components and offer any experience or thoughts. The build is almost solely for the purpose of music production, some way between an iMac Pro and Mac Pro...

Hello, I have my Hackintosh up and running using Opencore 0.5.8, and macOS 10.15.3 (not going higher due to Avid Pro Tools support). I am having an issue where I cannot open and install Native Access by Native Instruments. I would just like to download additional software, but I can't even...

Currently my desktop is a 2011 clunker running windows 7/Cubase 7.5. I know it sounds wrong and I've been itching for an upgrade. The thing is my audio interface is firewire...I'm trying to avoid incompatibility issues down the road. I've seen glitches on other hackintosh builds that made me...

Hey all! Am a first time poster here but over the last few months have been doing as deep a dive as I can (given schedule) on using a hackintosh to power a ProTools HD, specifically HD Native, rig. While I have had some limited success in following a few related threads, before I pull the...

After a lot of browsing through threads here and on other sites, I've put together a parts list for the Hackintosh I'm considering building (first time). My priorities (besides the obvious - max power/speed!) are: Value (don't want to spend money just for the sake of it) Quietness (hoping to...

Hi all! Would love to hear your feedback re:GPU's on a 9900k-based Music Production rig. The following parts below are everything I'm heavily considering, the biggest questing mark at this point being GPU's. Video editing is not something I do often, and I get by pretty easily on my 2015 Retina...

Hello all, First time poster. I have searched the forum and seen this somewhat touched on but not really to my situation: Trying to build a Hackintosh laptop. I currently have a late 2017 iMac 27 inch so I have the ability to build at a good pace while being able to use my DAWS and not worry...

Hi Guys, I originally posted this thread in the "buyer's guide" section but figured that this area would be more suitable. I am building my first Hackintosh based on a "Golden Build" and would greatly appreciate your input before I finalise it. I currently use a 2011 MBP with 16gb...

Hi guys, I have 2 MBP's, one for personal use and the other dedicated to music (Ableton and Serato). The audio production MBP is an i7 from 2011, and even though I've upgraded to 16GB of ram and added a 500GB Evo 850 for the OS and 1TB 7200RPM drive (where the dvd slot used to be)...

I've been playing with the idea of making a hackintosh for work(music production) for a while now. My 4 year old macbook pro is starting to slow down on me when I'm working with bigger music files and I'd rather just have a dedicated computer for beat making and music editing and mixing anyway...

Hi everyone, just curious is their any dangers (Hardware wise) in running a Hackintosh? I feel like if I do something wrong, it could break my computer somehow. The reason I ask this is I decided to turn my gaming pc into a hackintosh today, well duel boot Windows for gaming on 1 hdd and and Mac...
