Next Mac, Channel Status, Music Production, Quitting? (Nope!)

Bjorn, just chipping in to say - keep up the good stuff.
Been eyeing this channel for quite a while and it's nice to see someone, who does his homework on stuff he talks about, and is always on point.
I think I got my last MBP based off your opinion and comparisons (which aligned with mine 😉) provided in here.
Take care!

Great video, again ! Happy weekend !

Hey Bjørnar! As a MacBook Pro user with a TB3-Dockingstation for both composing and regular work (as you’ve described with another working laptop) the solution is great. Looking at the size of the MacBook and your idea of purchasing a 14“ MBP please keep in mind that the cooling is much better in the 16“ plus you’ll have no early throttling issues like the 14“ does due to its compact size and smaller vents.

By the way : I really appreciate your work, always an inspiration for us composers 👍
As you’ve tested different DAWs Cubase stood out for me and a few weeks ago I switched from my beloved Logic Pro, as it isn’t that performant like Cubase is.
Thanks for that review.

Keep it going!

I follow your channel for the music stuff but occasionally enjoy non music videos too.
I like the raw and genuine style of your presentation. Cheers! 🥰

Hurry up buy now and save!

Stiil, when going for Apple for professional use, imho it's better to go MacBook Pro route. With at least 16gb ram of course. And "basic" or +1 tier up CPU. Not maxed out one

I bought a new 16" m3 max 14c for around 3000 euros. That was a nice deal. I hope to enjoy it while using it with Ableton 11.

I bought the m3 air and I absolutely love it! That cooling block looks interesting, didn’t know that was a thing (new to macs) Also, I watched your earlier video on the m1 for music production and that really helped me as I had been deciding to downsize my whole setup. I was having similar space issues lol

Yes enjoy apple content! What M3 max spec have you gone for this time around?

I will probably get a MBAir 15 M3 with at least 16GB+512GB. I really want 1TB storage and maybe even 24GB RAM, but Apple makes me feel stupid paying that much for these upgrades.

Regardless, I think the Air is more than powerful enough for my needs, of which the most demanding part is "intermediate music production" and some casual gaming and photo editing. Considering it has a large screen and is very portable (for the screen size), I dont really see the point in getting the Pro over the Air unless you really need that extra performance. And if you really need extra performance you should probably get the MAX version of the PRO which will then be a lot more expensive.

But really wish I did not have to pay 50% extra for a 1TB 16GB MBAir over the entry level version!

Hello Bjornar, i need a good piece of advice: I work with logic pro and I want to get a new apple machine... which one should i get? mac mini m2 pro, mac air or .... it is so hard for me to choose - I am someone who doesn´t the best or the most expensive .. you know what I mean ... thank you so much!!!! Greetings from Tyrol, Joe

Looking for some feedback looking at a new m3 MacBook Pro, going to be utilizing ableton Live 12 mainly for house music production(fairly new user) with decent amount of plugins and tracks (average) not to small not to excessive!
Looking for recommendations, aware of all the chatter performance cores vs efficiency, heating/fans!
Wanting an M3 though still (as older v. are hard to find) looking for best recommendations on specs, do you think there will be any major drawbacks to not buy?

So much info out there so looking for thoughts, mainly between pro chip with upgraded unified memory, or max? (Just heard of heating issues on max)

So I didn't quite manage to decipher the configuration of your new macbook. Is it the 14 core M3 max? I am not sure if you said. And it's a 16" version right?

I see. so the PC builds aren't going to be examined anymore? I needed to know the performance of CPU's with high Plugin loads.
