I needed a new work station for my audio production studio and decided to build a hackintosh - my first one! Check out my blog post here for more info
I followed the CustoMac Mac Pro build for 2012 hardware very closely to ensure I would have as stable of a system as was possible. Everything is working just fine at the moment running OSX 10.8.1
I used a very simple Multi Beast Install as suggested by Tonymacx86 here. TRIM was not automatically enabled even after selecting it in MB. The only way I could enable it was through terminal. I followed this advice and it worked immediately.
I primarily run Logic 9 as my DAW and it is functioning very nicely! I'm really looking forward to using this rig for production. Currently I am working on music and sound effects for an iOS game that should be released in a few months and I am enjoying my new set-up. I will also post photos of my studio in the next few weeks and keep the community apprised of what software/hardware I am using.
Audio Production Hardware:
• Apogee Duet 2 Sound interface
• Korg K series MIDI Controller
• Focusrite VRM Box Digital to Analogue Converter
• Yamaha HS80's Monitors
• Beyer Dynamic DT1350's
Thanks to Tonymacx86.com and the community for helping me!
