MacBook for beginner music production?

OPaulByOPaul

Hello everyone,

I have been involved with music for over 10 years.

They also have their own band.

I decided to buy a MacBook Pro 16'' notebook with 1 TB SSD, M4 Pro processor and 24 GB RAM and use it to produce the music myself.
And of course the Logic.

I don't know much about Macs before I buy it, so I wanted to hear some opinions.

Is it worth buying the new one with the M4 processor or is one with the M2 or M3 sufficient?

I've heard a few times in support that the M2 is even faster when it comes to music production.

But I'm unsure.

Thank you for your opinions

Restore photos?

Hello,

M4 Pro vs. M2/M3

A MacBook is enough for music productionM2 ProorM3 Properfect. Both chips offer enough performance for Logic Pro, even for larger projects with many traces and plugins. TheM4 Prois more future-proof, but the difference will probably be low for you in practice.

Memory

  • 24 GB RAM: Super choice, especially for memory-intensive libraries and plugins.
  • 1 TB SSD: Perfect as projects and samples need plenty of space.

Conclusion

A M2 or M3 Pro MacBook is completely sufficient. The saved money you could in a goodAudio interface(e.g. Focusrite Scarlett) or other music hardware invest.

Hope that helps you! 😊
