Best DAW Laptops | Buyers Guide for Music Production

[@soulaesthete8563]

FINALLY! A video addressing the AUDIO production of the laptop, which I find important and much appreciated, Ben! Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

[@BenGKaiser]

Happy to help! It's taken me awhile. I wanted to make sure I had conducted a lot of research to put out the best guide possible.

[@MonoGiadating]

​@@BenGKaiser I like the style of presentation. You have a nice way of organizing stuff.

[@edbabine]

true, but I think most people are into basic video editing and photography, that's why you don't see a lot of videos on music production on a laptop.

[@Thatchnasty]

Literally when window shopping new machines, Music Production capability is the MAIN thing I would like to know about and nobody ever covers it! THANK YOU.@@BenGKaiser

[@marcomorales3641]

you heard my prayers ! I wish their was more people doing this

[@BenGKaiser]

Marco! I'm so grateful this video will help you out.

[@VexedDayz]

I really feel like I’ve grown a passion to this idk why it just feels right I’m usually a very lazy person but this has been something for years I’ve dreamed of started listening and studying different music category’s might sound like I’m just rambling but why not give it a try at least I can have fun doing it

[@sad.octobxrrs]

This helped me understand a lot of what I didn’t understand about specs, thanks dude!!

[@onerom_evad]

thanks brother, been out of the business for a decade or so now and was looking for the upfront, nitty and gritty straight and to the point. cheers!

[@steveo6408]

The absolute best video ive seen covering everything you need to know about laptops for music production

[@soundrav]

Something to keep in mind as well as the onboard DAC on some Zephyrus laptops which allows you to handle pretty big sessions plugged in directly to the headphone jack. Same thing with latency results, which you can find in Jarrods Tech reviews. The audio interface takes care of both of these btw.

[@BenGKaiser]

Great input! Thank you!

[@anshuljain8515]

Dear Ben, THANK YOU SO MUCH for covering a series on music production laptops. Been waiting for someone to talk about our workflows and needs for a long time. My workflow - I do all kinds of work from podcast editing (2 -5 audio tracks), audio mixing (8-50 tracks), music production (15-30 tracks) and film sound design(too many tracks lol) I am looking for a new laptop and have been using both Macs and PCs for a while. Personally, I am going to go with a windows laptop specifically the Asus Pro Art Studiobook for my needs. I know the Macbook can be less noisy but at the moment I really can't justify the price of those laptops for getting storage and RAM for my use. I also dabble in some game audio work so working with Unreal and Unity is preferable gonna happen on Windows. The other issue is Apple silicon compatibility, most audio engineers are using a huge variety of third party plugins and instruments not all of which are supported for Apple silicon. So the decision to move to a newer Apple silicon platform brings a few issues. I do wanna mention a few points that might make the job of someone else looking for a music production laptop easier. Have heard from a lot of folks that Dell's audio drivers tend to be really buggy so I'd say avoid that. On Windows, you will need to optimise your system's setting to get the best performance out of your system. For the noise issue while you are recording something, if you are only recording a small number of tracks (4-8) with an audio interface, then as your laptop is simply receiving the input from the interface and not doing the heavy lifting of the A-D conversion.

[@sankyoFt]

Hello. Your comment is very helpful. Finally, how does your Asus Pro Art laptop run? would you recommend it? Have you had PDC latency problems? I plan to use it for music production. I have also read about compatibility problems with plugins and operating system version on Mac. I am a sea of ​​doubts. Thank you 🙏

[@KHACDII]

I've been watching your videos since I started looking for a new laptop. I know that your content is toward content creators such as digital artists, video editors, etc, but I didn't expect you to cover music production as well. I bought the Asus G14 2022 from your recommendations, and I'm producing music using Ableton Live 11, and it's been a joy to me. Definitely going to upgrade the RAM sometime soon!

[@BenGKaiser]

Awesome!!! I am so glad the G14 is working out well for you. You made a great choice.

[@krisxmelderis]

hey, is it all amd version? have you had any latency issues with latest updates?

[@KHACDII]

@@krisxmelderis yeah it's all AMD, and so far no issue with latency or anything

[@krisxmelderis]

@@KHACDII my two year old g15 got bricked for DAW use after a reinstall, I tried a new g15, it had the same issue right out of the box... I suspect it's nvidia driver problem. Not sure if I should test another windows laptop or just get macbook. Thanks for the info tho!

[@KHACDII]

@@krisxmelderis hmmm honestly, the reason why I chose g14 over the macbook pro 14 was that I game lol. If I only need a machine for music or media production, Macbook is always better in terms of stability IMO

[@undrpaidtekmnky143]

I have a beast of a desktop recording system, but I wanted something more mobile for traveling. Didn't see this video until after I bought my laptop, but it does validate my choice of a gaming class laptop for recording. Thank you so much for looking at the specific application of production/recording.

[@ronaldglenn6929]

I do Instrumentals but I'm at the point now where the more Instruments added to the mix it slows down and stutters drives me insane..... so currently I need a new laptop. Great video.

[@isaiahm822]

Same man.. even with one shots the daw crashes almost immediately

[@jessecumba]

Unfortunate for me I can't afford the higher end models but I appreciate your video! It was very educational. I will subscribe

[@Tigerex966]

Finally Thanks. Both PC and apple are great at this. Rumor is someone is trying to use gpus for vsts through cores or cuda.

[@neils4269]

100k I’m with you. The best breakdown I’ve seen so far. We’ll done 👍 Cheers!

[@naughtyducky6325]

You can get full performance on a gaming laptop without being plugged in to a charger if you go into advanced audio settings on windows 11 and change cpu max and min to 100% when not being charged.

[@seancymusic]

Complex workflow. One area you didn't cover but is absolutely critical is latency and specifically DPC latency. I've been working on a 2016 Dell XPS 15 3sgb ram and no matter what you do, you cannot get the dpc latency under control to these dell machines. It won't run Ableton stably below 256 samples even with virtually no instruments or plugins. Wish I new that before because it really curtailed my live music production made me more an arrangement editing type producer by necessity. Mac throughput is vastly superior but I don't like the price tag or many of the caveats that mac makes you suffer through. It would be a really crucial in future videos to access the newer Dell's for DPC latency and the other rigs to see what can actually run your sessions smoothly at low latency. Cheers.

[@soundrav]

Wow, wasn't expecting this video but its perfect - looking for a new machine this month for audio, thanks!

[@BenGKaiser]

Happy to help! Trying to expand my video catalog to include more creative professions.

[@webzen92]

Thank you for such review. Just wanna add one thing - I would expect that AUDIO engineers reviewers would review the DPC latency values! Since it is a quite crusial for music production at all (especially for real time audio processing). I've tried a lot of windows laptops... and they are quite awful with DPC latencies. CPU/RAM/SSD/GPU - of course, it is mandatory, but if manufacturer has not been optimized drivers to have a really low DPC latencies, all that worth nothing.

[@Ning18]

Yes pls

[@TheValueOfN]

My MSI GE77HX Rider's high DPC latency has hamstrung my music production. It's just a hobby for me but that was a very expensive mistake I made.

[@charleswheeler3418]

its generally assumed that people producing audio on their computers would be using a designated audio interface as their sound card which cuts out latency in most cases...

[@webzen92]

@charleswheeler3418 I would disagree. Cos all hardware that you're connecting to your laptop use drivers for interactions and transfer data. The more efficient and optimized vendors' drivers (I mean laptop vendor), the better performance you would have with your hardware. That's why even true counter strike or any active shooter gamers are doing the same (I mean optimizing DPC) to get fastest response from the input device (mouse controllers).

[@JusTVIDSE]

Haven't finished watching but have learnt so much, thanks for making this video and sharing all the info included here!

[@LOUDSOL]

I use the Zephyrus M16 for amateur music production and it works great! I do wish the fans ran quieter so I could crank up the performance, but keeping it in Silent performance mode it isn't audible, and it runs everything in FL studio just fine!

[@BenGKaiser]

Cameron... Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

[@tcruz1996]

I loved this video! you can hardly find any videos on youtube talking about music production laptops and let alone one for windows users. I loved how you easily explained all the information that a music producer will need to know.

[@BenGKaiser]

Awesome! So glad you found it SO helpful.

[@BMUSIK101]

Facts

[@TJ-hs1qm]

Most bedroom producers are completly in the box and pull off vocals from youtube or splice if they need. the problem with (fan) noise is therefore not live recording. it simply that noise makes mixing very difficulty also for headphone mixes. It introduces frequencies that will mask issues in a mix and it makes it overall very difficulty to focus on your music. I want to hear nothing but my music when I produce.

[@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP]

I’m not sure how loud your fans are but that has never been a problem for me in any situation. There are many noises in live performances which is where I mostly mix. If you can’t train to focus on what you are mixing/ single out tones/instruments then you may need different exercise’s because it seems to me that fan noise has never been an issue with studio speakers, laptop speakers, or headphones when I reference my mix.

[@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP]

Also I would like to add producing music =|= mixing music so I am even more confused as to why arranging your song would be hindered by fan noise.

[@camprice3521]

@@Creator_Veeto_PAEACPexactly what u said mixing and making are 2 different things ig he’s saying he doesn’t have the skills for it because i understand what he’s saying. being in the box forces u to have in the box solutions

[@JoseValentin-b1c]

Thank u for this useful info specifically for some of us who know some but not everything about the function fundamentals of this laptops specs… I could really use one of them legions to come back to my music since my laptop was damaged after a busted pipe after a freeze down here in TX ,water pipe busted and my studio got the worst so starting from scratch again …best luck to everyone GB 🙌🏽

hey just found this channel and i am super grateful for this video. i've been researching this topic for a minute and this was some great info. i see you're trying to get to 100k subs. let me tell you that upping your presentation would go a long way towards helping with that. better setup and lighting is needed if you want to get more subs quicker. just some advice.

[@timlaguinday1055]

This guy really explained everything very well. Deserve a sub. Thanks for this.

[@delivering_in_rain]

Nice video man. Thanks for the heads up . Would love to hear some latency resolving tips for the zephyrus M16 asus

[@MoM-nx3sh]

You using an audio interface? They help tremendously.

[@ProgressiveSoundAudio]

One Windows based recommendation would be the Asus ROG Strix G17/15 AMD Advantage Edition. Been using mine in my Mastering Studio for some time now. The reason I chose this is that there's very little drop in performance in the silent mode. I can't remember whether it was one of your videos @Ben G Kaiser or one of Jarrods Tech videos, but there was a benchmark test that showed very little drop in performance. Anyway I bought it and I'm super happy with it. No issues with any heavy Mastering Sessions or even 60-70 track mix sessions, and it runs nice and quiet.

[@GNORMIN]

does it make noise during recording? fan noise i mean

[@ProgressiveSoundAudio]

@@GNORMIN none at all, the only time I hear it is with a very dense mix and hundreds of plugins, and even then it’s temporary.

[@georgeweaver8428]

Great Video, learning a ALOT from you! Before I watched this video I bought a LG Gram i7-1360P from Costco with Iris Xe graphics (32GB, 1TB) that is coming today to use for Pro Tools, but thinking of returning it before I use it. I want to get a “High End” unit like the Lenovo Legion 7i or the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 with dedicated graphics. I don’t think the LG Gram a “High End“ for Pro Tools and what catagory would you put it in (Mid, Mid-High, High)? Do you have some newer High End choices with 2023 processors. Thanks Ben!

[@georgeweaver8428]

I’m looking for a “Higher End” laptop, not “High End”. Thanks

[@MindscapesASMR]

I want to start doing live performances, mainly on social platforms, and I currently use a Lenovo Thinkpad...but one with better specs would be used very well! Hope you hit 100K!

my pc is running on a ryzen 5 2600x and 16 gb ram and it works perfectly fine and i never had a crash or anything. i dont think that so mutch power is needed cus even if i us EVERY single effect on something like arcade or omnisphere i only use 70%ram and 50% cpu

[@visions718]

im considering either the acer nitro 5 with i5 12500h 32gb ram as my lower option or the msi ge76 raider i7 12700h 64gb ram as my higher option, my workflow is more on the complex side. i really want a laptop with high specs so i dont have any limitations anymore. tired of having to constantly turn off effects or lower buffer size or not being able to use certain plugins while others run. I would really like a high end laptop for me to make it my music machine for many years.

Man thanks for this video. Found the sweet spot for me on accident. Zephyrus G14 on sale, $500 off. For a semi complicated setup using Arturia virtual instruments, Bitwig in place of Ableton and also my Akai MPC One, which is the most underrated Akai standalone. Underrated bc of ease of use the button lay out is awesome. I pick my laptop up tomorrow. From what I understand a few DJs really prefer the Zephyrus. Maybe the M16?

[@JustPlayitc00l]

The Lenovo Legion 5 pro (or the Legion series in general) is what I seem to be dreaming of more these days for the shear power at the price point... It's rather pricey (exchange rate for my currency as a factor) for me but it has the power for me... An M2 Macbook air or pro(not the base variant) would be but then again, price. Nothing beats a Mac so far for mobility and their power unplugged

This is a fantastic video which has cleared up a lot for me. Thanks! I have a digital mixer which can input multiple channels into my DAW, so I want to use it to create some live recordings, as well as using it for my own stuff at home. My emphasis is on recording live instruments. How much of a factor is DPC latency on real-time playback, and do you have a recommendation for a machine to minimise this?

[@456Edot]

[@JustPlayitc00l]

Hi Benji, Love this video and have watched it, and several other of your videos, multiple times. I hope to build a simple recording studio, like the idea of getting a 2-in-1 laptop, and am trying to decide between - a Lenovo Yoga 7i, 16" 2-in-1 with 32GB & 1TB (@1399.99) and - an Asus Zenbook 15 Pro Flip OLED (Q539) with 16GB & 1TB (@ 1119.99) In your Zenbook Flip review, you mention the laptop is really silent on Whisper Mode, which would be great for recording, but i question if i may in the future want more RAM to run the DAW of my choice On the other hand, although the Yoga 7i i found offers plenty of RAM, i'm concerned it may not be as quiet when it comes time to record Both laptops have dedicated/discrete GPUs What do you think? Which of the two laptops would you go with? Hope this finds you well and look forward to hearing back. UPDATE: Went ahead and purchased the ASUS Zenbook. Decided that the complete silence of Whisper mode on the Zenbook trumped the extra RAM on the Yoga 7i for my recording studio needs. fyi: i used the link from one of your your Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED reviews to make the purchase, so you should be getting a commission from the sale. Hope you're doing well and really appreciate everything i learned from your vids. Shabbat shalom :)

so I need a laptop for on the go editing: melodyne, heavy plugins, in the future I might use it for live performance, I have 16gig of ram on my pc (built with a friend) still has an i5 intel, but due to the amount of trracks I have, it's on the verge of not being enough, e.g. in one of my projects ableton always gets stuck between 60 and 90% and I can't export anything, even though I took most tracks out to make it an acapella version, it still won't export and that's not something I want to run into with my laptop I don't think I worry too much about fan noise but it needs to stand its ground, I wouldn't use it on a day to day basis as I still have my pc
