DJ ATOZ Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hi, I currently have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I am unable to upgrade Logic Pro X from version 10.4.8 I am looking into buying the new 16"MacBook Pro and have deep concerns about rebuilding my studio around it. I am hoping some kind and patient individual out there can explain exactly all that I will need hardwarewise such a new sound card (currently using Symphony I/0) as well as some advise regarding 16 vs 32 bit plugins and compatibility issues with the new MacBook OS. Any and all advise is very welcomed. DJ ATOZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hey, I know your concerns, I have a 2009 Mac Pro that I updated anywhere I could but it stopped at Mojave and Logic 10.5.1 I still use an Apollo FW. First question you need to ask, how many simultaneous inputs and outputs do you need? That will determine your options for an interface. I know you mentioned the new 16-inch laptop, but you have a Mac Pro and a separate screen already. Isn't the Mac Mini a cheaper option to get started with the M1 chip? Let me know your thoughts on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ ATOZ Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thank you so much for your response triplets. I appreciate it. At this point I need any more than eight and could probably get away with just two. I was think the iMac with M1 chip might be a better option than the MacBook as it has more storage for the many plugins I have. What might be your hardware recommendation if I go the route of the iMac? Thanks, ATOZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Not too thrilled about the M1 iMac. I would get an M1 Mac Mini instead if I went the desktop route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
