    Pretty Sure Mavericks is the problem, I thought Mountain Lion was also 64bit?

    edit: just found this

    click on the blue "Mac OS Compatibility Grid" link for info

    there is also a note for issues regarding "Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)" again click on the link for info

    im using Mavericks 10.9.2 with Kontakt 5.3 on a Hackintosh for months now , No problems at all
    sounds like the way you partioned your drive? or audio driver? Rig?
    I'm also using same Bios as when I had mountain lion: F12 OK But what about boot bios drivers? u using clover? Kakewalk for Gigabyte? tonymac.com those all make a huge difference one allows bootcamp to be reconized the other don't wich changes everything in a Hackintosh Build my preference is the Kakewalk option
    by the way that's a killer mobo your using

    pretty sure latest version of pro tools works with mountain lion, there have also been issues with upgrading to maverick as well
     
  7. I know what you mean, it's a very lucrative request.

    Anyway I just installed kontakt 5.3.1 on my mac book pro, going to see what happens on my hack. I'll keep you all posted

    Yes or Kontakt 5.2.0 either fresh install or use a app like easyfinder and clear everything kontakt 5 related and Service center(might want to back this up if you have other N.I products)
     
  9. Wow, it's my Mbox 3 mini

    Currently running a session of 25 gigs no problem, except I switched audio driver to my Samsung LED via my HDMI. And I was just about to delete a bunch of stuff.

    How did I not find this out earlier. I've tried all the mbox 3 mini drivers, newest also doesnt work. Maybe a later mavericks update will solve this..


    This is important, when I uninstall the drivers to my Mbox 3 mini and I restart, I can plug it in my computer and my hack still reads it as if I didn't uninstall.
    Im wondering if this is creating an issue, but I haven't been able to uninstall, using the actual installer or manually.
     
  10. Ive tried removing everything that ahs to do with mbox mini 3, didn't do anything, I still get sound if its plugged in
