10 Reasons Why Mac Is Best For Music Production

In this video, I will give you 10 reasons why Mac is best for music production. Personally, I think the MacBook Pro M1 pro is better than having a 12th-generation intel processor. I've been using the M1 Pro MacBook Pro for music production and Apple did a really great job. This has to be one of the best laptops 2021. The MacBook pro m1 pro is better for music production than the MacBook pro m1 max. I was going to buy the m1 max MacBook pro but glad I didn't spend the money.

30KillaBeatz Background

Rapper/Producer 30KillaBeatz/RIch Goat was born Brandon Beasley in Detroit Michigan, 30K was raised by his hard-working mother and stepfather in multiple locations such as Virginia, Tennessee, Germany, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Hawaii because of his father's affiliation with the military. He was also known for getting in trouble in school and starting fights. After school, he would go to the Youth Center and wait till his parents picked him up after they got off work. There he saw an old piano that the other kids would play with from time to time. He was amazed and started messing with it himself. He got so good he played one of Beethoven's songs in front of the whole school. All the other parents were amazed and asked his mom if young 30K could teach their kids how to play the piano.

Jist bought a Macbook Pro 2018 I7 hopefully i made a good choice for a beginner

[alchemyonthabeat]

I agree! I’ve used windows my whole life but just upgraded to the 2021 MacBook Pro max with full specs and it’s been a game changer! 🙏🏻 dope video bro. Subscribed!

For me my pain with Mac's are insane prices for usual stuff Ram and even Storage. It's insane how prices go wild. For me mostly outside in the wild with sunshine a Glossy screen is a bad thing. Also I dropped my ThinkPad from 1.5 meters and everything was fine my friends MacBook dropped from the stage and the screen was completely broken. Updating the OS could go horrible wrong when software makers don't update their software quickly! It's possible that you can't work in XYZ Software because you updated your OS. These are the main reasons I'm not on a Mac

Making sure vsts are all in their correct folders on Windows is a HUGE pain. It seems like every company installs their plugins differently. One of the main reasons I want to switch.

Everything just works on a Mac, midi keyboards, plug ins, audio interfaces, etc
On a pc, simple things can become a nightmare

Great video! Also where did you get that wallpaper from? It's amazing

The vid is great fam, needless to say. But hey, there is 1 thing I think is great about MacOS is the continuity, it just syncs perfectly with my phone or ipad. Sometimes when I feel tired of sitting and working on my main desktop, I just simply grab my notebook or iPad to keep it going. Or sometimes you just want to transfer that 1 folder or file from your laptop, just airdrop it, anywhere, anything.

Apple please hire this guy he’s know what he’s talking about 😎

I am a lifelong windows user and I finally gave it up for MacBook Pro M1 Max a few weeks ago. I got tired of 3 motherboard failures with my windows desktop and crazy loud fans. My MacBook Pro has been super quiet even when rendering a large DAW session.

The transition to Mac has been amazingly smooth with exception of a few incompatible izotope plugins. I can’t get used to the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste. On windows I use my pinky and index finger for CTRL-C and CTRL-V (a natural hand position without contorting or moving my fingers). On a Mac it’s an unnatural-feeling middle and index finger to copy and paste. Am I doing it wrong?

Even though I agree with all your points I still prefer a PC just for more raw power, but I hate Windows so much, you gotta make compromises ..

Your 100.
With midi tracking in windows, you need to have a more expensive separate
external device for proper audio conversion . doing the same type of work on an
apple computer I've noticed the sound card driver many times is able to
do an extremely well job without the need for the added external devices
to obtain low latency .

Plus now a days the USB mics are doing pretty damn good.

Hands down, osx handles sound drivers with much better latency than
windows .

I use a laptop when recording a podcast and when I first started I was scared it was going to be super loud. To my surprise, it was incredibly silent. I can’t say how silent it is compared to a Mac, but I had a surface pro 3 and that shit was loud af.

Ease of use seems kind of a personal thing. I have used a Mac on occasion and I didn't like the software but I also understand that it's something you have to get used to. I have no problem using windows and I'm not disorganized enough to worry about where I put a specific file. Also the search thing you mentioned seems like you purposely lied about how search works on windows or simply didn't know. But in either case, you can definitely search for more than just what's on your computer. It also brings up apps and search results from the internet.

I've only ever dealt with Lenovo so I can't speak for the customer service of other companies, but my experience has been great with them.

I hate using a trackpad but it gets the job done when I'm simply recording. Any time I'm mixing I'm on my desktop.

I used to be concerned with reliability since I've always heard mac is more reliable etc etc. But honestly I can't say I've ever had any reliability issues.

The people who I work with on the podcast use a mac. Their Mac legit takes a shit on them any time they try to render the video for it. They thought they were buying something professional yet it constantly shuts down on them so I guess experience varies.

Your problem with a computer may not be the same one as mine so in the end I think it comes down to what's important to the person. I really like your take on having a respectful conversation as adults instead of just having fanboy wars on here.

Is it true that for studio drums sounds thinner than PC ?

[shadow]

I’m still using a broken 2012 MacBook 😂 new be to much money unfortunately, but my 2012 is still super fast and doesn’t crash

[ritchierangel]

Hey boss is that just an LG tv you are running in connect to your Mac Pro M1? Or what do you recommend?

[MixingGBP]

6:30 lol, I thought I was the only one that did that! Typing along then not knowing my palm moved the cursor somewhere I didn’t want it to go,

[Fabian.Barthe]

13:06 best advice for musicians ever. Its is F trueee

OK! This comes from a person that has used computers for music production since 1994. Here are my 2 cents.

I will drop windows and benefit of the M1 architecture IF!!!!.. Apple stops crewing with people and ripping them off with overpriced computers, and repairs, and a LOT of hype. I am not an Apple fanboy nor a Windows Fanboy. I can care less for both! But with Window I can do whatever I want. Add or remove whatever I want. Do you really think that you own an Apple computer? No you don't. To them your laptop is their property; even after you over paid for it. look it up.

Apple is "great" till they hit you with ridiculous unnecessary OS X upgrades which screw up the whole system because all your plug-ins are gone... Specially that favorite Virtual instrument that you got a while back and now its unusable... yeah! Love that...

It is clear that M1 is better architecture. BUT I can't stand being owned by Apple. I DO NOT agree with their policies and their constant changes with the OS, which is constantly screwing with plug-ins and my costumers! They are going bananas every time they upgrade their OS X and I have to go run and start to re-build my perfectly fine Vistula Instruments because Logic sucks at authenticating or validating, etc!
(its owned by Apple) Duh! of course they screwed it up.

Not a single Windows customer of mine has contacted me at all, all upset because they upgraded their Windows OS. NOT one!!!
On the Mac side.? It's a nightmare. Every upgrade since OS X Catalina etc... Authenticate, Validating issues all the time without fail. And more worst with the M1 introduction.
I should just drop the AU format and have peace. My VSTi work all the way back from Win 7 64bit to Win 11. Can't say the same with Apple. But after over a month of busting my brains I was able to have my VSTi M1 compatible... ok wait, what? there is a M2 already...? M3, M4 any time soon!.... 😂😂😭😭😢😵🥵😡😓😓

Is the new M1 architecture any good? Heck yes.. the best so far. 100% as of now. The people behind it? Not so great.
$3, 000 for a tiny 13" laptop? hahaha!!!! to do beats. Sure. Any $800 HP laptop on Amazon will do the same thing. Flawlessly.
With a 17" display so you don't go blind trying to read your plug-ins.

I'm a grease monkey. I build my computers since back then. I don't need Apple making threats because you want to fix your ridiculous overpriced Laptop that suddenly went poof and you have to go to them specifically where they can rip you off with a LOGIC BOARD when all they had to do is replace a crappy chip that costs cents or some bad port.
Locking SSD to hardware so you cant upgrade on your own? Brilliant. And we have the Fanboy community to support this nonsense.
You know that in 3 years your M1 would be a dinosaur by their own standards? Heck the M1 is looking grim now with the M2 or M3

So you see boss! I choose Experience over fancy-eye candy Apple computers backed up by the biggest monopoly organisation of them all. Funny fact that the youngsters don't know about. About 20 years ago, they were rescued by Intel when they almost went belly up with their refrigerator looking desktops Mac Pro and their CPU brain fart.
They embraced Intel and from that you have now all you see on their website. The irony is that they used to make fun of Intel all the time back in the days.

By the Way! WINDOWS SUCK! but I can slap it around and make it my OS until they start copying Apple. Which is already happening.

My long 2 cents 🤣. Sorry!

38 years on windows. I left and bought a Mac Studio. Core Audio on Mac is superior. Drivers Drivers Drivers. Windows drivers are crap. They crash in windows 11 - 22H2. So sick of the crashing. Wish me luck. You can also aggregate multiple audio user interfaces. A huge plus.
