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.

Just got the m3 pro w/ 18 ram and 512gb ssd. Huge upgrade for me that’s really the reason i chose this one instead. Good video

[Ijayskeyz]

Wish I can have ‘em speakers though. Nice content bro. 🎉

I use m3 pro base model, and its a beast, I come from the 16-inch m1 model, go to 14 inches

Salute King, I have a 14in M1 Pro MBP Base model. I only upgraded the RAM to 32GB & SSD to 1TB. It's been great for me so I really have no need to upgrade to M3. If I did it would really be for that black color way but for me at this point, that makes no sense lol. Continue Being Great.

I think the M3 Pro is actually going to perform equal or worse for music production since most popular DAWs including logic don't really use efficiency cores. We just lost 2 performance cores on the pro which is pathetic. The only real improvement is going to be in the Max.

That new matte black is what I've been waitin for in a laptop! I hope they bring it over to the other Macs soon. Imagine that on a Mac Studio... Beautiful!

macbook air 2018
im tryna change to better one ive been using mine for about 7 years now, but the thing is music production needs more power cpu and yeah its asking me to change cuz logic pro x is running system overload

[umutcanylmaz]

Base model m3 is ok for music? 8gb of ram and 512 ssd?

[kristenjames]

thank you this was very helpful info before I go buy my Macbook

[marksaxon]

I just ordered a new M3 Max with the 36GB of ram. Some say 16-18GB is enough but it's on the border. I can tell you with just an audio only 40 track project in Logic (no MIDI/Samplers/VSTi), my project was already in the 6-8GB ram usage territory. If you consider the OS and other background apps need memory to run, you can see where 16GB is limiting. Make no mistake, if your system runs out of memory, the OS is using your SSD which is not as fast as memory. I don't think folks need the Max chip but I got a good deal on the Apple Refurb store so I just got it over with. I also do some video editing so it doesn't hurt to have GPU cores.

Did you recommend mac accessories in one video - I can't remember if you recommended a certain usb / thunderbolt hub with a built in screen / indicator?

[LandsOfDespair]

Hi 😉 What problems did you have on 16Gb? 🙂

[lucid.ix_x]

I got the 14inch M1 Pro i won't be upgrading any time soon it's a beast for music i love it

[Kharrari]

I have the M1 Max 64 gig model and it chugs along from some of my larger sessions. Its no the worst experience but I'm definitely trying to see how these newer models work with PT. cheers thank you for your video.

[jR..]

I just bought the new MacBook pro laptop 2023 with m3 chip in it, will i be able to install my Apollo twin interface x?

[eddiebarbosa]

Thunderbolt is unlike type c though they look alike. Latency will not be an issue lol. Type c is like 5gb. Thunderbolt 4 is like 40gb ps

[anuronn]

I use a windows laptop for making music but i want to upgrade to a macbook pro 14

[ojchief]

Im really interested in getting the 14" m3pro w/ 12 core cpu 36gb ram 1tb. Im a fl user

Think that's be the best choice guys? Itd be my first mac moving away from an i5 11-400 32gb ram pc

[Kashfrmdaway]

Also Look Into Building A Gaming PC Made One For $800 Due To Inflation At The Time It Was A Music Production Work Horse With 32Gb Ram and 1Tb SSD I’m Making Another One For About $500 and Its A Upgraded CPU It Also Depends On Are You Going To Be Traveling Or Working From Home or In A Studio

I have the 16" M3 pro 18gb ram with a 2nd gen Scarlett 2i2, i'm experiencing serious delay. I don't even have any plugins on my vocal channel except for EQ. I assume it's because i'm using a old scarlett through USB3.0, an adapter and finally into my laptop with USB C. Could that be my problem?
