How to best read RAM being used?

Hey folks:

What is the best way to get a sense of the RAM being used by my mac. I'm looking at one of the new M2 models and am not sure whether I need more than 32 Gigs of RAM.

I loaded up a project that has several soft sample players and other synths and with activity monitor I see 14.5 GB in app memory and 6GB in cached files. Does the sum of those two approximate what I am using?

Thanks

C
