Logic Pro X - Which Mac to upgrade to ?
Hi all,
My hardware is now over 10 years old, both my imac and Macbook pro will no longer run the latest version (or at least a latest enough version) to allow me to update my version of Logic Pro X to the latest version. I am therefore missing out on a lot of features that would help my workflow.
I've no experience of the apple silicone devices but I'm wondering which new device to upgrade to. I'd like portability and either an M1 or new M2 macbook pro will definitely do the job, my current Macbook pro has the fan on most of the time. I'm therefore interested in whether the M2 iPad air with no fan would be powerful enough to run say 20 odd tracks with softsynths and effect all running without it throttling back on performance. I find it very hard to find real world tests that help to confirm performance with Logic - I would have thought Apple might feature it in one of their benchmark comparisons but they never do. If, however an M1 Macbook pro is so powerful as to likely not need to use the fan I could spend the difference on more ram and larger hard drive. I used native instruments Komplete, and Arturia softsynths mostly. I know this is a difficult question to answer, but some real world examples would help me immensely. Cheers
