Eon Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I will have to upgrade eventually to M1 But seriously...M1 is awesome. I have zero problems with my Mac Mini M1. Its super fast, cool and quiet, never had a single crash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I know it's awesome. Don't need it right now, hence eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Logic Pro 10.7 - no cost update as soon as it shows up. Now is the time to compress a copy of Logic Pro 10.6.3, and to make a project with "Ocean Eyes" saved in a likely spot. There will be a new demo project. The free trial package still contains Logic Pro 10.6.3 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enossified Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Those new M1 chips are insane (this coming from a former member of both AMD and Intel chip design teams). The writing is now formally on the wall: Video is everything. What really bugs me is that after forcing MacBook users to deal with buying hubs and docks they actually brought back MagSafe, the SD card slot and HDMI. Only three TB4 ports? Plenty for me now that I'm not wasting a port for the power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not a bad price either (well, looking at tools) 16" 64GB memory, 8TB SSD is a mere $6100 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 "Console EQ"..? I believe this is just the Neve Style "Vintage Console EQ" that's been around for a few years. Ah yes, I did look at that but as it was called "Vintage Console EQ" I thought it might have been different, but it does indeed display like that when loaded... (I never use those) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not a bad price either (well, looking at tools) 16" 64GB memory, 8TB SSD is a mere $6100 USD 14" with 32GB ram & a 1TB SSD, $2600... which seems pretty great, considering the specs and features. if you need 64gb ram & 8TB storage, you're (hopefully) doing work that justifies that expense.

David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 I believe I could be tempted by the 16" M1 Pro 1TB with 16GB memory for $2,699. That would most likely be my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1 Pro.png seems like a great investment, considering the specs, the screen, the M1 chips interaction with ram...

David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 I have been waiting for a "proper" new iMac for over 4 years now but I still don't see one coming... and all this time spend on my 13" MacBook Air makes me realize how I like the small form factor, how I don't truly need a hugeigantic monitor display after all, and how I enjoy having the bottom of the screen at desk level rather than propped up like on an iMac, which my neck doesn't seem to agree with. So hmmm... why not. Still would have loved to see a proper new iMac come, something a little more sleek than the last M1 iMac which I really wasn't a fan of.

jnchristp Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just ordered the 16" M1 Pro, 32 GB and 512 SSD. It should be a great machine for making music, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 David wait for YouTube speed test I don’t know if 16 ram is enough Thanks, and you're right, I will wait. I'm in no hurry and don't want to be the first to beta test the new machine. However with the new handling of RAM I believe that we will see better performance even with less RAM. Also I don't use large sample libraries like film composers do so I don't need huge amounts of RAM to load samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1 Pro.png David wait for YouTube speed test I don’t know if 16 ram is enough i run my 2019 intel imac with 16gb ram, and have never had any memory issues (with either logic or final cut); and ram is managed much differently on the silicon chips. seems it should be enough for most things (maybe not editing 8K video tho...)

That's what I'm eyeing (£2599 in the UK) but need to weigh up the future proofing of 32GB RAM over 16GB versus the extra £400 it costs...

That's what I'm eyeing (£2599 in the UK) but need to weigh up the future proofing of 32GB RAM over 16GB versus the extra £400 it costs... i would think that, if your work is heavily dependent on sample-based libraries, more is still more. but for people like me (occasional string libraries or some loops), 16 should be great; i mean, i have 16gb ram on my intel mac now, and never have any memory issues, and the silicon macs have a much-better ram management system...)

fisherking Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 No new mini. Nothing for me to regret. i expect we'll see new imacs, maybe a new mini, by march. and should be interesting to see the next generation of the mac pro (& the cost of said mac pro).

Glenn L. Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I expect with the more efficient processors, programmers will start pushing their limits. This, being the bottom M1, I have to watch for Logic or OS 'innovations' that slow down this machine. So far, so good. Glad I didn't wait, now.

seclusion Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Would've liked a Mini Max with a 2TB and 64 unified ram, same I/O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Would've liked a Mini Max with a 2TB and 64 unified ram, same I/O. No doubt it’s coming. Maybe in the spring. We got to the point where hardware is ridiculously powerful. No obstacles to make music for sure. Even with power hungry plugins. What software features can they possibly come up with to cripple these machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 One more thought: if they put the recently announced fastest chip in the Mac Mini it could become the new Mac Pro With this new chip architecture we can forget about modular built computers anyway…. Which is a good thing, especially if they price out the Mac mini with the new chip fairly low. You just buy a new one every five years that’s it.

des99 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Apparently the "Mac Pro" lineup may consist of M-chips with two or four times the core counts of the current M1 Pro/Max chips - so could be up to 40-core, 128-gpu chips... (!) These will be significantly more powerful than the current M1s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to hearing some user experiences. they're important, if you're doing 'intensive' work for extended periods of time, or complex actions are being performed; like on my imac: i only hear the fans when very-involved mixes are bounced out (ie lots of tracks, automation, plugins...)
