Thanks! this worked. I managed to import a wav file which was at 44.1 kHz into a 48 KHz project, seems fine. Just wondering - since my speakers aren't the best - whether there are any subtle or otherwise changes / damages that happen to the file during this import / conversion. I plan to record guitar parts using my upcoming budget guitar multi fx unit - which uses 44.1 Khz - and then bounce them to wav and then import them into my 48 Khz Logic project. Do you guys think this is a viable long term plan. Or should I consider buying a different unit.

Got it thanks.

Hi David just out of curiosity and in case the others are interested... do you have a bag of tricks that helps you get more juice out of the older machines such as the MacBook Air 2013. Perhaps bouncing tracks in place, reducing the computer’s eye candy, controlling spotlight, etc. Also, maybe, not running too many apps at the same time. These are the common ones I have read on the net, and I’m sure there are more. But I’m keen on your knowledge on the matter, if you’re inclined to share.

Copy pasting the names. Thanks!

On another note I’m sure the plug-in companies will launch M1 versions sooner or later, don’t you think. Presuming M1 is here to stay, it’s inevitable.

Hi facej that’s good to know. Mind sharing how you have connected your peripherals. I assume you have used a powered USB Hub, which one did you get. There’s lots of conflicting reports about USB Hubs not working with the M1 Macs.

Hi Rodney I can imagine the pain. I though a plug-in newbie, did do some research into the (non music related) apps I regularly use and most of them are compatible with M1 natively, although, many of them, for example, Things 3, are deeply embedded into the Apple universe. I wonder if therein lies a clue.

So please don’t be mad at me. After starting with a budget intent I have now scaled up my intent to one of the MacBook M1 machines. The more I researched, the less sense it made to get an old machine. If I am going to crash and burn might as well do it with half decent specs. Also I recently took the decision to get into certain kinds of work in a more serious way. And once that decision was taken it seemed easier to spend more. Anyone here gone down the M1 path? Am still struggling with concerns about USB hubs and audio interfaces working well on these machines. But other than that it seems like a great idea.

The Mini. Got it thanks.

Yeah I can see the M1 is clearly a winner.

Great thanks. Does the hub draw power from the device or the mains.

The hubs/docs are powered, typically?

P adobe is not half as good on macs anyway. But generally, M1 via rosetta is like 6-core i7. I have a CalDigit TS3+ hub from before. Right now, i'm using UFX+ via USB3.0. (flawlessly) But i've also ordered a Thunderbolt 3 splitter from OWC to connect it directly to thunderbolt, since... it feels better. These are powered hubs right?

Not to,speak on behalf of David but my needs (as suggested by me) were minimal. And budget is and was a massive issue. And I think the Air has 8Gb RAM for what it’s worth.

Those of you who have bought (or have been recommending) the new M1 machines, how are you coping with the lack of ports. Don’t many usb based audio interfaces need a direct connection?
