Bought the air M1 as a side laptop to my main PC setup (i7 9th gen, 32 gb ram) turn out it runs circles around my PC with albeton and everything else. latency is great (9ms total) even without an interface. I've now switched to mac after 20 years PC

I've bought a Macbook Air M1 (16 GB Ram model) last week for music production and I am EXCITED about the performance. It has so much power that it runs complex songs with a latency of 128 samples (I guess it even could handle these projects with 64 samples lol) and never had any issue with dropouts, even with Izotope Ozone on the mastering bus. But yes, some plugins still have issues, like Massive X, and the MPC Live Controller Mode is not supported yet. That said, compared to any computer and laptop I've ever owned the Macbook Air is a such a HUGE upgrade that I can't imagine to go back to my previous studio computer, even if the software I use is not compatible with the M1 processor (it runs with Rosetta2). At his point I even consider to replace any plugin or developer which has not any plans to update their software at least to the Big Sur OS. It's amazing what a Laptop this size can handle!!

@@VistaAirFilms honestly I had a few issues recently. I use Bitwig, Native Instruments Komplete, Waves, Soundtoys and a few others. Yesterday I was working on a new song, but first I was not able to choose my Soundcard in Bitwig, so I had to restart the mac and then it worked. And one project does not open at all, it just does not load anymore, don't know why. Sometimes the Waves plugins dont show up and I have to do the AU Shell thingy. I guess and hope the issues will be solved after the plugin companys officially support the new system. I mean, its still new somehow, so they will need more time. Still I am very happy with the performance. The new song I work on uses a lot of CPU hungry plugins, and except some very minor dropouts/crackles (with an active Izotope Ozone plugin on the master bus and a latency of 128 samples) it was a charm to work on the Macbook Air. It was a little warm at the end of the day though :-) still impressed with the performance. So it works and I am happy with it, but I knew that it's a little early to buy a macbook M1 for music production lol. But I won't go back. If you need a 100% reliable computer for music production I would wait, because I can't say that I don't have any issues. But I don't care, because for me, the performance is worth it.

​@@VistaAirFilms meanwhile I spent some more time making music with the Macbook Air M1, and the last few days I did not have any issues. Worked like a charm and I was able to finish a complex project very smoothly. MAYBE it throttles the CPU a little if it gets warm (only luke warm honestly), but it has so much power that it's not an issue, I barely notice it. And I am not a guy which optimizes the use of plugins (for example I like to use individual reverbs on single tracks instead of using reverbs on send tracks) and I only use VST Instruments, no audio tracks.

Hello, how's it going with the Macbook Air M1? I'm actually considering getting the 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD model for music production mainly for acoustic songs (pianos, guitars, cajon, vocals, some reverb & delay), and I usually record with a mic except for piano (using MIDI). I do some video editing taken from my smartphone too. Do you think the Macbook Air M1 16GB/512GB will work for me? I don't wish to overspend on something too powerful that I might don't even need.

@@namede6210 Yes! I bought the Macbook Pro M1 Max but returned it lol. Still making music with the Macbook Air M1 because it has enough power, even for my complex tracks with a lot of virtual instruments, FX Chains and automation. Video editing also worked. The Display is a little small, but its very portable and at home I use it with external display, so it's not an issue. BUT speakers and the display and a few other things of the new Macbook Pro is better. But I figured if I want to spend 3-4k I would rather buy a Mac Studio or something and use the Macbook AIR on the go. BTW I am the same guy, just another account.

Ave love your honest reviews brother always proper honest creditable and worth watching. A ting I find amazing with the new M1 entry level Air and Mini is they are the cheapest of the line so far and are scorching computers. You see a lot of reviews dissing doing video editing on it but like it's 1000 pound in the UK which is like silly money( cheap ) for a brand new computer. For a final thought never really been to much into Trap Music but loving the new change in style 👊🏾

Man to be honest. I had the 2019 MBP with 8gb Graphics and 2 TB Hard Drive and 32GB RAM, Core i9 2,3....guess what...was about 3500€. I ordered the M1 Mac Mini (for 700€) and seeing the power of the M1 Chip I changed it to the MacBook Air M1 (about 1100-1200€) with 8gb Ram (because 16gb wasn't available at that time) and mannn...thats the best laptop i ever had in my life. Performance wise it was on par with the 2019 MBP (and in most use cases it crushed it) plus it has crazy battery life and fanless...come on man. I was editing my videos and stuff on the iPad Pro because it is also a beast of a machine but with the portability of the Macbook Air, the nice keys, the processor, battery life and fanless design....Apple got me with this machine. Waiting for the next M1X/M2 machine but this time maybe with 2GB of storage and 16gb Ram.

I currently have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, 32GB Ram, 512GB M.2 (Main), 1TB M.2 (internal expansion) and im thinking about switching over to the Mac Mini M1 with 16GB Ram, and 512GB SSD. My Lenovo just doesnt have enough power, but i dont have the ability to spend thousands of dollars on a computer and 1,100 before tax for the Mac Mini with the power of the M1 sounds like a win for me. Probably going to wait before purchasing to give developers more time to adjust and so i can save up enough to purchase one

I still use my M1 MBA every day. The only thing it doesn't shine in is video stream live or local recording via OBS. That's expected since it doesn't have fans to deal with overheating.

Come on Bro! How are you going to compare this to a 9th gen I7? I've got the HP Spectre X360 14, this would be a more honest comparison. Grab yourself an 11th Gen Tiger Lake running in "Ultra Performance" mode! I'm throwing everything at this thing (64 buffer) and it barley moves the meter.
