Complete Guide to Install Virtual Machine for Mac OSX and HISE with FAUST

@Dan-Korneff said in Complete Guide to Install Virtual Machine for Mac OSX and HISE with FAUST:

I'll try to make a video today.
My process is:

• use a dedicated machine
• install proxmox virtual environment
• install OSX-PROXMOX
• use the osx-proxmox utility to create VM

If you're going to use the server as your main design rig, you can add a video card and enable "GPU Passthrough" which will output the VM to your monitor.
Otherwise, you can just use remote desktop app to access the VM. This will be without GPU acceleration so the response will have a lag to it, but completely usable.

Great.. it will be great. (y)

@Dan-Korneff How do you get sound out of your MacOS VM?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey I have a USB interface plugged into the proxmox server. That is shared to the VM via USB pass through.

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff I didn't want to have to connect my speakers up so I decided to pass through a usb bluetooth dongle and connect it to my bt headphones.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey did it work?

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Yeah

@d-healey @Dan-Korneff When running proxmox on a dedicated machine do i still need a extra gpu for video acceleration/ gpu passthrough? I thought the proxmox os is running without a xserver so the gpu could be used entirely for the virtual machine.

I have a semi broken notebook that I would like to use as the proxmox host, but adding a extra gpu is no option here.

[d.healey]

@oskarsh If you are going to use it as an everyday system to do serious work on then for MacOS you would probably benefit from a GPU because it's laggy, but you don't need one. I don't have one.

[Dan Korneff]

@oskarsh as @d-healey said, you'll want GPU acceleration on any machine that you use on a regular basis. I'm only using it in my main design OS and I just deal with the lag on the other machines. It's not unusable, just slightly annoying.

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Do you know if it is possible to pass through the CPU's integrated GPU?

[Dan Korneff]

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Thanks. Do you know if it works with MacOS?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey The feature in itself should work, but macOS is very picky about GPU specifications. You'll have to look up a GPU compatibility chart to see if your hardware will work.
