The new Mac (MacBook Pro 14 & 16 and Mac Mini) offerings from AAPL look pretty nice. My 10 year old MacBook Pro has more than earned its place out in the pasture. Thinking seriously about one of the new M2 Pro Mac Mini's.
We have, but we did not get the basic Mini. It has 64GB RAM, and 1 TB drive .. maybe Studio or similar name ..
Compiling a large project used to take minutes and now it takes seconds The user is ecstatic about it, and amazed at the difference between it and his 2015 iMac, which was no slouch to begin with
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Do they even offer 64GB of RAM? I looked at that site recently and saw the Mini only offered with 32GB. And the price they charge for RAM... Oy!
I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

Used to be they had a superior product when it came to video, photo and music work. A couple of things have happened. They have priced themselves out of many people's reach. PCs have caught up. Components are cheaper for the PC market and performance is as good or better for half the price. They also have an annoying habit of changing their OS and making many things people have spent plenty of money on obsolete. The only plus I ever saw, was Logic Pro. A great DAW and very reasonably priced.
I know many people have a mac preference and that of course is absolutely fine. I just can't see spending the money. Especially since so much of my hardware does not have compatibility so I couldn't really change if I wanted too without a huge investment.
Sorry got off track of the topic.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2024, Cubase 13, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use
i'm very excited by apples M2 processor. and curious to see if m3//m4//m5//mn etc is the marketing plan. and how they deal with heat n' laws of physics if they ramp up to more and more powerful processors.
but the M1 aint no slouch either.
why not buy a cheap m1 refurb ? till the dust settles a bit ? ive seen some decent deals on refurbs on the net. you can save money and most places let you return in 30 days if not happy.
It’s rare to start a thread on Mac hardware and not find a bunch of pc people show up and pull the same old tiresome hijack.
Happens quite often. Carry on if you must
Sorry! But look at that price! It cannot be worth it. He could build a beast for that much money. But Hey if you have to spend, go for it!! didn't mean to hijack it. It wasn't getting much action, so I added my worthless opinion.

That $8900 computer costs 18% of what I owe on my mortgage. I might spend that on a computer if it was a tool that I made money with, but it would just be the 7th computer in my house with 1 human and 1 canine.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
