Mike.

thanks for the m2 boot info.
i agree..im sure it was the tech stores net slowing things down.
fyi...tbh...with this apple m series pc's..
this is the first time in my song creation life that ive given serious thought
to getting a apple product for song creation.
the m4 mini IS a beast...its just some things are 'niggles'.
but of course the same goes for the pc side of the house.
tho'...to be fair im super happy with my ry mini pc.
not one prob yet.

(ps Mike..many prayers re your stroke. i wish you always the very very best.)

Brian.

yep im sure your m4 is a beast of a bargain.

i also do the same with my mini ry pc re a usb extender...works
great. frankly on my ry 7 mini i have trouble getting above 25 percent
cpu use. and as its m.2 ssd bb gens are blink of an eye.
rb reports i can do over 200 tracks with it.
the ry does the job for me but then i dont do large track/plugin
counts in a song.
so particularly for creators useing lots of high resource useage vsti's etc..
i would probably recommend something else.
for example some of the songs in my sig used just pg vst fx plugs..
do the job for me on vocs.

imho if apple wanted to slay the pc market...
offer a 250 buck m1 or m2 mini pc barebones...user adds their own memory etc etc..
as well as two internal m.2 ssd's. sales would soar imho.
then once people got comfy do the old upgrade marketing strategy...
eg replace the m1 cpu with a m3 processor that plugis in...
ie similar strategy to iphones...new model every year.
wow...just the idea cranks me up...lol.
excites the whatsits out of me.


happiness to all.

om
