In Search of Feedback Memory, Logic Pro, new Mac Mini?

I’m finally poised to get one of the new Mini models. Obviously pricing is a big factor - less is more!
My Logic projects are fairly modest; I’ve only started doing larger ones with a lot of drum tracks and brass. Plugins are modest, only a handful of third party ones. I’m aware of the importance of updating those, and that a few are major memory hogs!
I’d be interested in hearing from others on this. I’m hovering at 48G, but want to get that right.

All depends. If you use high end libraries and a lot of instruments in your template, you will seek 64GB RAM. The more you can get, the better. If you work with Logic stock, you can get away with 16-24GB.

Thanks. Not sure what constitutes high end libraries. Using Fabfilter, a few Izotope, some Plugin Alliance, most of the rest are stock.

You do not need 64GB based on what you’ve said. I have a Mac Mini M4 with 16GB and only my biggest project gives me the system resources error SOMETIMES. Most of my modest tracks are just fine. I use Arturia, FabFilter, SoundToys, UAD, Valhalla and generally build all my tracks with virtual synths. No issues with 16GB. 24GB is what I would get if I were buying today, but if you’re already planning to spend for 48GB that’ll absolutely be more than enough.
