VST’s, RAM & M1

[Sparky1]

Hi there.

Does anyone here have experience with the new M1’s and running VST’s?

I’m currently running the latest Pro Tools on a Late 2013 16” MacBook Pro with 16 Gig of RAM on Mojave.

I find I’m starting to get more and more error messages that my system is low on RAM.

I know the new M1 chips are faster - but how do they handle VST load with the current maximum of 16 Gig of Ram?

I’ve been holding off getting one of the last 16” Intel MacBooks (thinking 64 Gig of Ram) while I wait and see how the new M1’s handle audio demands with Pro Tools - but I know my days are numbered.

As soon as the next generation of 16” MacBook Pro’s come out - I suspect they’ll be loaded with M1 chips and that will end the Intel chip with 64 Gig of Ram option for me…

Thanks for any insight…
