Can the MacBook Pro 16" 2019 handle Mixing / Mastering?

[@colinchilds]

Of course it can lol. This is actually what I have and I use it all the time for mixing, mastering, producing, video editing, you name it!

[@2probeats]

Yeah, it’s a really interesting machine that can do a lot of things.

[@colinchilds]

2probeats for sure! My buddy got it first and recommended I get it. Now he has a dual monitor setup, graphics card, and external ssd for it haha. A total setup for music, video, and gaming. What a machine it is

[@5200KL]

@@colinchilds can you help me out with what things I need to install for all of those things?

[@OdeMalikIdrus]

Damn, your Macbook seems pretty solid. Meanwhile me right here using Asus ROG, CPU meter jump all the way up to 40% just by loaded the FabFilter Pro Q3 and C2.

[@Vosso]

Dude, something's wrong over there. I am also on a rog and with mixing and mastering at 48khz it barely touches 60% cpu

[@2probeats]

That’s really strange . Fabfilter plugins are probably one of the most optimized plugins . They don’t take that much CPU

[@adriandonal]

I am under 30% CPU load with Lenovo y570 intel i7 with few omnispheres and Fabfilter Q3 and C2 on all tracks, i can run 3-4 acustica audio sand 3 strips without crackling, something is wrong with your system bro ;d

[@chrisanthony5501]

My iPad handles better than that lmao

[@nyambe]

tNoise, for recording. This one dude here in you tube managed to kill fan noise disabling turbo boost with software. Can you verify that, it would be awesome if its true

[@2probeats]

I’m not that tech savy.

[@jameslewis1846]

Its not a video on the macbook pro but i would like to see a video on the tegeler tsm if you don't have none already.

[@2probeats]

I don’t have one yet but it’s planned for this year 🙏🏻

[@jameslewis1846]

@@2probeats def can't wait to see it i'm planning to get into summing maybe after a few years of locking in my mixing skills itb

[@africanrevolution3551]

yo...as always...DOPE video...could you do a video on how you transfer your plugins licenses to your ilock key?

[@chrissosexybaby]

I don’t like the feeling of headphones either, agreed.

[@piooyuy34]

I wonder if it’s good for music production too🤔🤔..... Leave it to 2probeats to play around with it

[@2probeats]

I’ll test that out too . Need to upgrade my ableton first and I’ll start making some beats 😂

[@Flieder]

Hey 2probeats. Thanks for your video. Did you ever hook up the RME to the macbook? I heard there are some issues with the new macbook pros and RME.

[@2probeats]

I haven`t used the UFX on the macbook yet

[@grannypotproduction]

A larger session

[@2probeats]

I’ll start mixing on it soon and I’ll see how it performs with larger sessions . 🙏🏻

[@heythere6983]

so with waves licenses you cant use them on different computers?

[@2probeats]

It wasn`t posible when the video was made. Waves just announced that now you can have 2 computers with the license activated. Cheers

[@heythere6983]

@@2probeats yea I just bought a few plugins a few weeks ago before I had my daw set up and then heard nightmares of waves updates that are expensive for plugins and issues with them that people have. So if you have two computers, and lets say go somewhere else to work on something, the way around that is to take an ilok with you?

[@stab1820]

Why audiof ? Not rme or Uad or ssl2 ?

[@2probeats]

I had a few options for a soundcard : rme babyface, apollo twin, focusrite clarrer 4i2 or the audiofuse . I went with audiofuse because I will only use it for the macbook so I needed portability and also some nice features . It was the only option that had some amazing features : usb hub , usb powered + socket if you want, adat I/O , 2 mics, 2 speakers out . It’s more like a pro studio soundcard but in a small package . The other ones are great but they’re not 2in1 . They have just portability . Cheers

[@stab1820]

Thanks for answer) what do you think about ssl 2, for recording vocal and mixing ? Or uad and rme ?

[@sachii.k1802]

I have a 2015 macbook pro and seriously i do wonder how recording studios survive out there!?... I do my vocal recording/mixing and mastering all on my macbook and the results are A grade studio material!.... To be fair, hip hop/rap can be achieved just with an interface/laptop and mic🤘😉

[@2probeats]

That’s true!

[@AveMcree]

Man, I was so close to buying one. Question about your Arturia AudioFuse Rev2. Does it get hot like the original (silver) version?

[@2probeats]

Ave Mcree hey man ! What do you consider hot ? My AudioFuse gets a bit toasty but nothing too crazy till now. My RME UFX+ runs hot too and I never had an issue with it .

[@AveMcree]

@@2probeats thanks for the info.. I'm trying to hold out for the Arturia Audiofuse studio that's coming in March I think? It has blue tooth, ADAT, and more I/O's too

[@ITSYABOYDONTE]

I've had the Audiofuse since it came out. No issues at all. I've even fallen asleep a few times working on projects and left it on all night.

[@2probeats]

Donte Clyburn 😂😂😂

[@2probeats]

Ave Mcree yeah , that studio audiofuse looks really nice . I would have waited but I just need something portable

[@TheClicheGaming]

Recommended ram for the 16”?

[@2probeats]

At least 16

[@bachbeats2217]

this test is pointless without having the same exact plugins. that's like doing a weight comparison of two 1 gallon water jugs and taking some water out of one of them. it would have been smarter to disable the incompatible plugins on the windows computer to get a even reading

[@quest4747]

haha i also dont like headphones. especilly when they get sweaty ughh

[@2probeats]

I never use headphones .
