David Nahmani Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 These rumors are coming from Mark Gurman, Global Apple/Consumer Tech journalist at Bloomberg. Aside from all sorts of rumored updates to iPhones, HomePod and Apple Watch, what's really interesting for us Logic Pro users are the following new Macs that Mark Gurman expects to be released as soon as Fall 2022: Upcoming M2 Mac releases: an M2 Mac mini. an M2 Pro Mac mini. M2 Pro and M2 Max 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. the M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme Mac Pro. Upcoming M3 Mac releases: an M3 13-inch MacBook Air (code-named J513), an M3 15-inch MacBook Air (code-named J515), an M3 new iMac (code-named J433) an M3 12-inch laptop that’s still in early development.

fisherking Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 all sounds good, but all just rumor; still, certainly seems logical (pun intended). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revdave Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks for the info David. I am curious also about LPX with an M2 Pro Mac mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 The M2 MacBook Air could come out as early as July 15! https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/29/macbook-air-m2-available-friday-july-15/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonwind Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I suspect the M2 would be in the Mac Pro since it hasn't been changed over yet. I just got the M1 Ultra Mac Studio and it's so powerful I don't ever see a need for a pro. The only thing I could think of is for the ultra heavy duty CGI and simulation people. Us music users will be fine with Mini's, Studios, and MBP's. Still, can't wait to see what comes next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the new M2 MacBook Air will ship in July with Monterey. The next version of macOS, macOS 13 Ventura, is expected to be released late October 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be upgrading my OS till about 2029, Monterey is working great with logic and Pro Tools no problem, I have only just upgraded from El Capitan, 7 years ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great, you should start a new thread for Ventura when you do it so that you can share your findings and any cool new feature(s) you find! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrdjf Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Considering the M2 Air vs MBP. How are folks finding the M2 Air with Logic? How hard can you drive it without throttling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 i've been holding my breath for a new 12" macbook since 2018. will continue to do so (as it still seems far off in the distance). meanwhile, my new M2 air is great (but again, not using it with logic).... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrdjf Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the tip, @David Nahmani. I did go with the 13” M2 because of form factor and price. So far it runs my projects (which admittedly aren’t very complex—usually 5-8 tracks but lots of modulation) entirely smoothly. Logic startup time feels faster than my old 2017 MBP (unsurprising!). 3rd party plugins (Reaktor 6, SoundToys, TDR, Melda) work great. So far my favourite thing about it is the ability to use high impedance headphones without an extra amp when I’m on the move. No complaints!

Well that's great news! I've used a MacBook Air for years, it's a great little machine. Incredible value for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
