Default Re: New Mac help

M1 not yet supported, but many reports that PT runs fine. And I can confirm. I had a mini M1 for about ten days recently, and it's a fantastic machine. PT 2021 runs great, even thru Rosetta2, and most plugins. Great value for money, go for it!

I returned mine, and went back to the one in my signature. Too many little things not working, but that's because of Big Sur, but most importantly the ram limitation of M1. I had 8 but 16 will handle most loads, I think. I'm waiting for the next generation of prcessors and models.

I would at least forget about the 2012 model.

But if you're serious about mixing there are many more important things than a good mac. Listening environment, speakers, controller, plugins...
I guess you got that covered.


Another thing about M1 macs; they never heat up! It's almost unbelievable. Coool.
