Will GarageBand Run Smoothly on MacBook 2018?

These are the specs for an upgraded MacBook. I know the Pro is more capable, I’m just curious mainly because I dig the design and colors. I usually run 8 to 16 tracks everything from drums, guitars, bass, synth, and vocals. So would the MacBook be usable? I really have no other use for a laptop except demoing songs.

1.4 GHz dualcore 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor, turbo boost up to 3.6 GHz

16 GB 1866MHz LPDDR3 memory

512 GB SSD storage

Intel HD Graphics 615

MacBook, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

I would think so. I use it on a 2013 Macbook Air with 4GB & a 1.3Ghz processor with no performance problems. Does the Macbook only have 1 USB? You might find you need a USB adapter though if you need to plug in a MIDI keyboard + other devices.

These are some fine specs and you will have no problem running GarageBand. With that, you can even run a fairly big Logic Project.

So no excuses anymore. Go ahead and make some great music. 😉

Hope that helps
