You're using RME UFX? You don't need Voice Meeter. You have Totalmix, which has "LoopBack" function. This takes everything coming out of analog 1 n 2 outputs and sends it back into any inputs you want.

$6k laptop is bonkers

I got ableton to run on a 150 dollar laptop and it runs great 👍

Would love to have your sample pack

Did you get the 128gb ram for future proof or was that actually needed for your setup , planning on specking out same laptop I'm just on the fence weather to get the 64 or 128 ram ?

Your Sugar was good to you

You are late to the game. Mac doe sthe job as opposed to shitty windows

what audio interface and microphone are you using?

I just got the same rig as yours with 8TB after working on a 13700K for 3 years, and you're right: the MacBook Pro blows that PC out of the water and fits in my backpack. I also love that the built in midi studio and sound interface are so good. If I want travel to gigs with nothing but my Mac, my travel keyboard and my headphones. It's worth every cent I paid for it.

Very Timely Video, I'm looking to upgrade my studio from a 2013 imac to a new m4 and there are so many options to consider! Thanks for the info

Mannnnn I’ve been considering switching to Mac for music production. After this video, I guess I’m gonna start saving up lol

Welcome to the dark side

Live Auto-Tune latency?

Windows guy for 30+ years swore I would never touch a Mac, hate Apple. The M4 came out, did a TON of research, you cant build a PC for 1400 dollars that gives you the power of the M4 Pro, period end of story. I folded and got a Mac and I don't really touch my Desktop it's now a bonified gaming machine. Mac does my audio production, video production, programming and it's a workhorse, perfectly silent and smooth and snappy!

Thanks Austin! This sealed the deal for me. I have been planing on updating my Mac Book and I now am pulled away from a Mac mini and will be sticking with the portability of a new laptop!

One of my biggest jumps was the same one: from pc to mac! Loved the decision ever since!

I got the 14 core M4 Pro Macbook. I probably won't see it struggle for a few years.

I'm looking into getting a laptop with the new AMD chips, they trade blows with the M4 Max. But I'll also be using it for gaming on the go when going to gaming conventions etc.

what is the brand and model of ur monitor ? really love it ! Nice Studio !

That’s crazy I’m having issue with sublab xl as well. Thought it was just reaper.

Yea, same here... my main studio PC (AMD Ryzen 7950x) runs fine... but on every Windows Update i cross fingers that it runs also after. 😅 2 years ago i bought a macbook pro m1 pro because of curiosity. i am still very impressed on this machine! Sure, the AMD outperformes it easy. But i wait for the M4 Ultra Mac Studio that will come hopefully this year, than i will fully switch to mac. i never was a mac fanboy, but with this apple-silicon chips espechially for audio they nailed it. 👍

6:30 only 256? I would think 64 or 128 at least sheesh. (256 is not very very low) I've seen better examples of it's power with lower specs, so I'll just chalk this up to that. That computer should be capable of double or triple this with no issues. Either way, super sick powerful machines.

Congrats on getting this machine! It’s a beast, I’ve got the M1 Max and it’s incredible how it still holds great after three years! Looking forward to upgrade to an M4 Studio when it comes out cause that one isn’t gonna be tied to a battery which will translate to some more power.

I was literally going to say “Get the Caldigit TS9”, but I thought I’d continue to watch to the the rest! And there it was! I absolutely love the thing! I have a M3 MAX, and have one cable powering my entire studio! Look you, I love the option to change location anytime. Great setup dude! 🤜🏻

i wont lie, i licked cause of the trucker cap, FANTASTIC video. that gated reverb pedal (RAINGER FX Reverb-X) is such a great pedal, im still waiting for another builder to make a clone of it since the original is so hard to come by these days

I have a m1pro 32 gig 4tb , cost 4 grand but has been utterly problem free. I have a transcend 1tb sd card permanently slotted in and it fits flush so you can’t even see it.

Me here using base MacBook Air to make my music 😂

Just order mine thanks for the video! Upgrading from intel 2017 Mac 😅

i just ordered the m4 max fully upgraded. $8k investment. my last mbp was intel and so is my imac which im still using, so im looking forward to a monster machine. once i get to like 80 tracks logic starts to act up, blender is laggy & davinci exports take...far too long then i have to convert my vids using handbrake. its a long process so i cant wait to get my new mbp. "pc warriors" 😭 yes macs last forever thats why its worth it for me. my 2010 mbp lasted 9 yrs. my 2015 imac i got in 2017 is still going.

NICE! a few questions to you: - any fun noise while running this 140 tracks project? - is it possible to run such a big 140 track project on 32\64 samples buffer without any dropouts? - is it possible to use DAW monitoring (vocal\guitar) real-time in such a big project? (32\64 buffer) it is VERY IMPORTANT to know) - your RME interface connected to a dock ? running ok? what is your round-trip-latency ? (you can see it in cubase) - you bought top congiguration mac. how fast your battery drain if you work in cubase (with big project). i mean on battery. thank you!)

fire maaan

biggest drawback with the laptops, Mini's and Studios is the connectivity for all drives . Blackmagic Multidock great solution .

не ожидал увидеть слово "сторицей"😁

Just recently picked up a M4 Pro 14inch (not binned) off the shelf and it’s perfect!

Congrats on getting your install done !!!

In what universe do you think that this video is relatable? Everything you’ve said in this video just seems like a rouse for what is simply a brag that you can afford to pay over $6k on a laptop. I could be wrong, but it comes across that way, big time.

I'm about to get a MacBook too, I hope you can make an specific video using the docking station. Nice video 👌

There are 0 gains for audio applications between the pro and max model. Keep an eye on that. Max will only give real performance gains in graphics applications.

I want to switch to a macbook for the portability. The idea of being able to make great music anywhere seems awesome!

what computer monitor are you using?

I use a macbook Pro M2 and it works good for me actually I'd really recommend a macbook

FL KING!!

Just got my new Mac too. Any speed issues with Rosetta?

Great video Austin. I’ve watched a lot of YT videos for the new Mac Mini M4, a few of them being for music production. It’s great to see real world usage instead of just a load of bench test numbers which don’t really mean a lot for day to day situations.

Mac ❤️

Welcome to the Mac world - I use a MacBook Pro with M1 chip - absolutely flies and is rock solid, no constant updates and conflicts. External SSD and 2 monitors, for 2 years now super happy.

Please do a studio tour!

welcome to family mate

Did the same thing last November. Similar studio to yours, have an Apollo interface and the drivers with Windows were always a gigantic pita. Got the M4 pro Mac mini, 64gb, 2tb and it's pretty nuts. Unless I start recording soundtracks with Hans Zimmer I don't ever see needing more for audio. I can pull up about 80-90 instances of Omnisphere at 32 buffer size.. The Max is super nice but probably overkill for most people. Windows is losing the audio guys it seems.

Hell yes
