Ok so naturally I'll start. I've ordered the Studio with the
M1 Max 10 Core, 64BG RAM, 1TB SSD.
As you can see from my signature I'm moving from a 5,1 with a maxed out PCIe machine. For work, I mix TV for all the streamers, networks here in Australia and also ESPN on ABC America. I also have a full music studio with drum machines & racks of hardware normaled through multiple patchbays to a Midas F32. Tracking and Mixing in Tools obvs
I need for Mixing TV;
- PCIe Enclosure for Video Hardware and M.2/NVME drive/s - Thinking the Sonnet Echo IIId or the Magma ExpressBox 3T-V3
- Enclosure for my 3.5" & 2.5" HDD's - Thinking the OWC Thunderbay 4
- 2x TB3 to HDMI adapters (I run 3 monitor plus the Video hardware monitor)
- Pretty sure I DON'T need a dock as the Apple Studio has plenty of options.
I need for music multi tracking:
- 32 I & O. Thinking the Presonus Quantum 4848
- More DB25 to TRS - Thinking - Planet Waves Modular Snake TRS Breakout
- Apple's new 3m TB3 cable or the Corning cables (optical cables)
- Another Patchbay - Which I've bought already.
- 2 more 16 by 16 looms - Which I've bought already
This music stuff can wait. I need the mixing stuff first.
So what do you all think? Discuss.
