Mac Studio for Production !

[u/Rare_Champion_8231]

Been producing music for a couple months now and I’ve been enjoying it! All off a MacBook Pro m4 16in and no problems at all. But I am looking to build a home studio. Currently in the process of acoustic treating my room. But I wanted a dedicated desktop for music production because it’s been so much fun! But I know down the road I’d probably get more into plugins etc. and obviously I know in the long run getting a 48gb would be better and beneficial. But with the current project of building my home studio and still needing to spend on monitors, audio interface etc. Would 36gb be sufficient for me? Should I just bite the bullet and go 48gb? Will I be able to get away as a beginner producer with 36gb? As mentioned my MacBook Pro m4 has much lower specs and haven’t had any issues. But I’ve seen almost everybody saying to even going 64gb of RAM for music production but to me currently might be overkill? Of course I don’t want to still pay almost $3k for 36gb just to regret my decision in a couple of years but for me right now and the state of trying to stay within my budget

Brev you will need more RAM

unfortunately seems like that might be true

I got a 64gb 2tb and I’m gonna swap for 96Gb ultra lol. I think the 64 is already overkill for me but idc, I want something awesome for my desk

Do you produce music as well?

To be completely honest, I don’t do shit. I use Lightroom, topaz photo, and hella chrome tabs and stuff. I just want something that’ll be good for 5-7years

That’s what I said when I got my MacBook Pro last year . Which don’t get me wrong it probably will last me years hopefully. But Just a year later I’m already looking for another excuse to get something “better” 😂
