From MAC PRO to MAC STUDIO - BUT HOW?

I was hesitant to go from my MacPro to a Mac Studio because I needed to migrate all of my storage to external drives. OWC helped me make the move and it is working amazingly!

I jumped on the Mac Studio when it came out. Even the base model is a superior audio engineering machine. What a golden age to be a content creator.

[vaughnwebbermusic]

I always admire the effort you put into your content. You are an excellent creator.

Now it's a perfect time for grinding cheese with that Mac Pro case :D. We want to see a big cheese grinding video with it! :D :D. Hahaha Nice video btw! I wanted to buy that house next to there... But, it's ok.... Hopefully another house in a Dorf in the future!

Wow...What a great to upgrade with OWC that will work great for your studio! Wish u all the best👍 All the way from Mizoram, Northeast India.

Hey Henning, you sure are upgrading things this time, new house/studio, just wow! I mean, that's why you're the best really... what else there's to say!

BTW, as an IT person myself (professional IT, with over 25+ years of experience) I wouldn't use a software RAID setup, it has to be a hardware-based thing. I guess, if it's just for a basic and personal setup then software might be sufficient. I think since your home network is expanding, and the amount of data you already have and will continue to produce, might require a rack-based storage server at some point, similar to a small office/workgroup commercial setup, and move away from external-individual drives. Wish you the best with this project, quite impressed with all what you've accomplished throughout the years. Cheers!

Immer wenn meine Frau sagt "dass ist doch overkill, was Du da hast" zeig ich ihr eins Deiner Videos ;)

[richardmacyczko]

I've been a Mac man sense you had to wind them up. (kidding) My first had a 9" B&W screen. I'm so happy to see someone so excited with Macs. I learned so much from this video in such a short amount of time, especially when the Mac gets along with other tech. Thank you very much. Not only are you an exceptional musician, but a true techno wizard. Much respect from your many friends from Florida USA 🍎

This is awesome!

The next step is getting a video editing server.

Kinda sucks that NVME raid isn’t compatible with the latest Mac os. Hope they fix it soon or already.

I am running an OWC Thunderbolt Hub with super fast 2TB NVMes since I got the M1 Studio right when it came out. Runs very stable, never failed once.
Thanks to you I am ordering the Mini Stack as I type :D

[vasotoe]

This is great news! Very fine choice as well going with OWC, stoked about it especially with GS around the corner 🤘

[umbertoyltp]

OWC saved my ass when I tried to upgrade my 2008 Macbook Pro with an ssd. It was the only brand that delivered result.

[eoinc_Ire]

You should have a small room with aircon, power protection etc… for you storage. Noise from disc fans is not nice, and may cause interference too.

[marleenvos]

Very interesting to see what kind of IT setup you use!

[oldwindmill]

"Unne" und "Unnedrin": Love it!

[taimou]

Nice storage prn, I hate to buzz your joy but at the scale and performance you need and your budget there are commercial NAS/SAN options that would have given you more. Maybe next time you extend

[christoskraniotis]

really cool video, I always enjoy these sort of behind the scenes Videos

Just a couple of notes from an me as an IT-Guy:
you could also get like a Asustor Flashstor NAS with 12 NVME slots and 10Gbit Network to work and edit from and an additional NAS for Backups and long term Storage.
You currently have a lot of small Data-"pools" where you can save a bit here and there, but doesn't really looks like a coherent system and espescially does look like a lot of potential points of failure.

[alexdenton]

It's true that it's much simpler to do whatever you want with Windows, you have more options and it's less expensive. But if you need to use a Mac, I understand. The issue is that you don't have much choice, you're forced to adapt with the few options that Apple offers you.

[mysteriousbuttons]

There are optical thunderbolt cables that can run up to 50m, if you need that. You might also want to consider getting a NAS to keep in your machine room, so you can keep archived projects/resources/backups in a co-ordinated way without the drawer full of external drives :). You could edit directly from a fast NAS over multigig connections, but given you already have fast direct attach storage for editing, consolidating all of the rest into a 'regular' NAS would clear a few drawers and make everything accessible easily (and if you ever decide you want actual backups, it'd be easiest to do from a central NAS, although I don't fancy the bills for online storage much!).

[michaelkoenig]

Agree to the posts above: admire your effort, and your YouTube and and course work, and wonder why you still use a Mac. I work on Macs because of Logic. But I will switch to Cubase and Windows soon, due to the policy of 🍏 making old computers slow and the lacking support on hardware problems. Trying to change an existing Apple configuration is a mess or extremely pricey. I’ve been using Apple since my Atari blew out his lights, but that’s how things go.😢🎉

[spikewulfenden]

Damn! That is - the Mac Studio - is good stuff. Aside from the really annoying incompatibility issues caused by apples introducing things like FireWire 400 and 800, then thunderbolt. Then they play with usb c and call it thunderbolt 4! I can’t afford, nor justify, getting a Mac Studio, or Mac Pro. God I would love one or both. And the storage…Wow! I can only afford getting secondhand tech. Like the MacBook Pro 2012 & and 2014 model. I’m now looking at some 2015, 2017 & and 2019 models. My audio interfaces are focusrite pro 40. I’ve got an apogee duet, a UAD Volt and of course the likes of the HX Stomp, and HX FX. Handy for direct recording ideas into Live. But living in a one bedroom flat means space is a premium. I have excellent sound insulation throughout my flat as I like to read novels, textbooks and other literature. Mounted up on book shelving - brill bass traps! I make do with what I can afford. Then there’s the instruments. Over 30 something guitars, a dozen acoustics, with different flavours. There’s 5 basses and some ethnic instruments like the Puerto Rican Quattro. I could go on. I’ve got half a dozen low wattage amps. Love ‘em! Thanks for your insight and B.S. free knowledge and for the chuckles Henning. 🤟🤟🤟
