TheRdungeon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Do you own any RAM hungry orchestral libraries? If so, please, please load them up and let us know how this machine with its limited RAM deals with them. Not really to be honest, I could download a Demo of something to check. Most of my stuff is synth based. Been delayed by a day. Getting a 8GB 512GB so should be easy to find it's RAM limitations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninecows Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This is crazy: He’s using loops to populate the many tracks. Don’t know if this should utilize ram or put pressure on the ssd. He’s just using the base model. Seems like it can just run anything that you can reasonably ask it to do, despite the 8 GB RAM. Now I need to keep remind my self of why I just bought a i7 27” iMac with extra bells and whistles: Backwards compatibility from day 1 and support for boot camp. Could have got the Mac Mini M1 and a very decent screen for half that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninecows Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Very likely that the ever increasing speed of and integration of SSD will reduce the need for RAM...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have got the Mac Mini M1 and a very decent screen for half that price Using my Mac Mini M1 for the past day or so, it's a great machine but honestly it's a bit of an ass around getting some stuff inline, especially when it comes to some obscure programs. if you only use Logic plugs and really well known plugins it's pretty good. But for audio work in general, especially if you do it professionally, I'd be content with what you have! Some things are requiring some odd workarounds. And if you need Boot Camp it's an absolute no brainer to stick with your machine for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But price/performance within native Logic stuff seems so much in favor of the Mac mini M1 that I could probably live without windows. Anyway - the iMac a keeper for now and will support me for years. Don’t look back after you buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRdungeon Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 My M1 Mini does 95 in the new logic benchmark, this is while running as a headless machine which seems to be using a bit of CPU according to activity monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
