I can always sell it if it doesn't work out. I don't really think I need a Pro, honestly, and if the baseline 13" MBP only has 8gb RAM, why not just try the Macbook?Ĭurious: Are you still using this setup or have you moved on? I was a bit turned off by the USB-C change until I learned about all that's possible through one port, especially when you consider that a USB-C display can act as the charger and the USB hub for your setup, and yeah, you need your own dongle for when you're portable. Other than that, I want to have a laptop so I can use it as a bass/electric guitar amp with GiO via Mainstage for small gigs, with the signal going out into the PA or system. Other than that, I work as a Web Developer and always have my machine hooked up to an external. My projects are nothing crazy, just hobbiest stuff. I only have an Apogee ONE and a GiO and am recording two channels at most at a time. The new MBP are wicked expensive (2016/17 either retail or refurb), the market is abundant with all kinds of MBP from 2012-present in 13" or 15" size, so the choices are overwhelming. The Mini is great but I don't have any mobility now.
It was loaded with 16gb RAM and an SSD, and I picked up a Mac Mini to give me time to decide (SSD now in a 2012 Mac Mini with 16gb RAM). Thanks so much for sharing! My 2011 MBP just died (GPU is done).
It is no MacBook Pro in terms of performance and I doubt it'll handle large sessions of over 50 tracks at a time but for smaller projects its actually does the job well and looks pretty at the same time. The editing process and pretty much everything else is pretty zippy. I did notice some visual fader slow down while recording the last batch of tracks which included some pretty heavy plugin groupings on each of them but everything was recorded successfully. I tried to make them pretty heavy in terms of processing requirements but also realistic in what my day to day recording applications typically are. I added an additional drummer track bringing the grand total up to 21 tracks.Įvery track was filled with about 7-10 varying plugins, typically consisting of different compressors, limiters, reverbs, echo, guitar amp/pedalboard sims, etc. I recorded 4 tracks at a time for 6 minutes and 30 seconds with a total of 20 audio tracks.
I primarily record live instruments so I didn't go too heavy into the software instrument realm. So, I wanted to check out the new 12-inch Retina Macbook (early 2015) to see how capable it is for recording with an Apogee Quartet & Logic Pro X.
