A video on using external drives for music production would be great.

As a Film Score composer, I Just bought the Mac Mini M4 Pro 64Go with 2 To and still can’t believe that I’m gonna work on a Mac Mini but this is such an absolute beast… what a time to be alive

[Jeremy_Kinsey]

What a time to be alive, indeed! I remember recording midi tracks on my 386, running Cakewalk with my Turtle Beach "crystal" soundcard, hahahaha I couldn't record digital audio if I wanted to, the DIGI001 wasn't even out yet.... Now, look at the options! I love it ~

So what I’m hearing you say is, get the 16 core M4 Max MBP with 128GB ram and the 8TB SSD. Got it. 😏😂

[medicinal_soul]

Im getting the base model delivered today and am gonna run a ton of vst and see if it works. there's a 2 month return policy right now so if it's not good enough I will switch out for the 24 gb of ram unless someone tells me that won't make a huge difference but I'm hopeful 16 gb ram will be enough

I’m still rocking my m1 Mac mini with 16gb of ram. As my main recording system with uad. I do this professionally and haven’t had any issues. Wasn’t thinking about upgrading. But what the heck. Maybe I’ll consider it!

I just ordered a M4 Mac Mini today. Upgraded to 32GB ram & 1TB HD. Add logic. Pretty pumped for it.

[Histio]

Well I was about to get the Mac Studio M2 Max with 1tb storage upgrade for $2200...
Now I'm considering the Mac Mini M4 Pro with the processor upgrade, 1tb storage upgrade and a ram upgrade to 48gb for again $2200...

[motionrelicmusic]

I think a big factor is the sample rate one is recording at... at 24/96, my Mac mini M1 16GB RAM crawls with just 10 tracks or virtual instruments. Regarding drive size, I have 1TB and even after offloading everything that I can such as sound libraries, etc... only using the drive for MacOS and applications (Cubase, Adobe, video, etc) & plugins, I only have around 150GB left. So I would never limit myself to anything lower than 1TB.

New GeekBench 6 tests show the Mac Mini M4 Pro blows the Mac Studio M2 Ultra chip out the water! For just a fraction of the price!

[krazywabbit]

Appreciate the breakdown of who should be getting what. As a hobbyist, I have no business spending or complaining about the tricked out machines.

@ColtCapperrune Legit question. I don't know anything about Apple products. Can you make a video explaining why you prefer Apple to PC? I don't know what I don't know. Thanks.

[damienowens]

I'm still running the 27 inch i mac. 4 Ghz Quad core i7 with 32 GB. I'm guessing it's going to be a real eye opener when i make the jump to a new Mac mini.

[Ted_Swayinghill]

I’m still on my 2020 M1 Mac Mini with 16 gigs of ram, I can’t imagine going to M4 anytime soon

[dezelve]

This is exactly what I was looking for and then this video just magically appeared a minute ago hahah Thanks broo 🙏

[LipazMusic]

At this point M4 Pro is the sweetspot. Even a Mini can beat now my base M1 Max Studio in terms of music production. Interesting!

[rocketsauce]

I have a M1 Mac Studio with 32 gigs ram and 512 gig hd and it's like plugging into a rock, It's cold to the touch, Silent and just works. I can only imagine what these are like.

[rusj]

Those New Computers are Insanely Powerful. I would be nice to upgrade the studio computer but I'll wait for now, my MBP M1 16gb working fine, but Geeze still amazed on the power of those computers. Thank for the Video Colt.

[TheSpiceLord]

I’m hesitant to agree on some points because the metrics haven’t been tested much by consumers yet, but it surely seems like a good buy.

I think that people must consider external expansion in the pricing when looking at Macs to get a proper look at what they’ll need but that could just be my opinion.

[AmiliaCaraMia]

I got a Mac Studio last year and it's amazing. Totally silent, all the ports I could need and it's light enough that I've got it mounted to the side of a studio rack. That way I can easily get to all the ports and rearrange things if need be.
