Hi, Recently i built 3 machines for AVID HDX Systems:
System 1 : HDX 2 Cards and HD io (for studio)
System 2 : HDX 1 Card and Omni io (for my home studio)
System 3 : HDX 1 Card and Omni io (for my brother)
System 2 : HDX 1 Card and Omni io (for my home studio)
System 3 : HDX 1 Card and Omni io (for my brother)
Step 1 : used unibeast method to install lion 10.7.3
Step 2 : installed multibeast ( see attached multibeast screen shot
step 3 : installed lion combo update 10.7.4 and multibeast installed again..
step 4 : to show cpu name - Edited smbios.plist and added the following
Code:
<key>SMcputype</key>
<string>1281</string>
Step 5 : to show correct cpu clock ( i overclocked cpu to 46)
<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
<string>46</string>
And everything is set and cool..
for me USB 3 works only on front panel, checked with Lacie USB 3 disk ( back and front panel usb 3 ports works for usb 2 interfaces) maybe back panel USB 3 can work for you guys ..
Thanks to mitchellk , subaro0o, kurtface ..
quote from subaro0o " Pro Tools is running better than ever, and I'm in heaven with the 32gb of ram with the new "Ram Disk Cache" feature in pro tools 10, so snappy!! " yes it is true with this machine ..
Protools Comments:
installed IOUSBFamily Rollback from multibeast (if ilok did not recognized)
installed protools 10 software before installing HDX hardware cards, then shutdown and installed HDX hardware into pcie slots.
then i checked in system preferences sound menu HDX showed
everything is set and Protools HDX working cool and fast,,
some error with protools software not because of Hackintosh these errors is also showup in macpro too " Not a big deal simple 2 step fix"
when you run Pro Tools HD 10 software with HDX hardware for the first time it freezes while "Creating DAE Objects"
here is the AVID fix link http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_U ... g/en430391
If logic or any other coreaudio software did not recognize AVID HDX open digidesign coreaudio manager and increase buffer size to max and quit digidesign coreaudio manager then open logic or whatever software it will show AVID HDX now, now change the buffer size to your wish..installed protools 10 software before installing HDX hardware cards, then shutdown and installed HDX hardware into pcie slots.
