Connect Everything to Your MacBook with just ONE Cable

[@fidelpena5235]

This video was a life saver!! As a DJ one of biggest issues with the new MacBook pros are the lack of USB options and the hubs that I’ve bought could never hold up due to the lack of power. Literally just bought this item after watch your video. Great content!!!

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Thanks man! Your videos have been really helpful for me in deciding which direction to go with my Macbook Air purchase. I decided to get the 8GB Ram one though. Hopefully that's enough :)

[@egm0450]

16gb man

[@guidosc3470]

8 GB on a M1 is feels like 16 on a regular one- so unless you are going to program multiple orchestras it will work fine for you. We also have an Air M1 at home. 129 Track Production in Ableton with multiple instances of Kontakt, Nexus 3 and even Diva (everything not running natively!) is no problem 😜 Have a good one 🎊

5:34 I love your cable management system, looks like something I would do

[@mattcasoni]

At abou 5:55 I nearly dropped dead from the clean cable management. It looks like an eagles nest.

[@JeffRamos9000]

Thanks for showing this off. Was thinking of switching to the M1 Air as well, and wasn't sure if it would support a solution like this in my studio too. You got way more gear than me, and if this works for you, I'm set.

[@hotworkmusic]

these new M1 macs are powerful, but the Air?! Unreal

[@TrevorSwayne]

Love how far the studio has come Jon. Also whilst everyone must be going crazy over the mess of cables I know you’re saving that til last as it’s your favourite bit really!! It will be a work of art when it’s finished I am sure. All the best dude, Trevor

Do you have a solution for using external SSDs over wifi when using the macbook different rooms in the house (i think the SSDs will have some performance decrease because of the wireless thing) but when connecting to the cable the SSDs deliver full performance? And THEN being able to unplug one of these SSDs for mobile work and use them for plugging it into the MB directly at a friends studio

[@janvannestemusic]

Any updates about your experience with the setup after a few months? Reliable? Problems? Good audio quality or pops/cracks?

[@GatotAlindo]

any latency issue ?

[@renzochi4551]

I literally can't find any videos that address this

[@Vocalisto]

Don't you have to eject all your external Devices like USB-Sticks or Harddrives everytime you pull out the Cable from your macbook?

[@LexanderMiller]

No? Apple warns you of this because there are a few bad apples that will write data without you knowing, but once you save everything and wait a second after it’s done saving, nothing should be transferring and USB devices are smart enough to know not to blow up when unplugged.

[@masterx87]

Awesome video… what cable are you using from your hub to laptop?

[@OronOfMontreal]

The lighting in your studio is really smooth and looks cool, with zones of slightly different colours, from various screens. My compliments.

[@MykEviiL]

Great Solutions! Smart! That wirey mess is messing with my OCD though!!!

[@jakeyboy2929]

Would the hub power a UAD Apollo 8 rack unit that runs TB3? Usually that has to go directly into my macbook to work. Also the best thing about that hub is the length of the wire. Usually hubs have very short cable length

[@damianuzabiaga]

Did it work ??

[@Jonsine]

Fully maxed

[@luisbaltodano227]

Thanks for the video. I use Plugable Hub for my WFH set up. It provides connectivity to two 4k monitors and plenty of USB connectivity to everything else. It also provides provides power to my M1 Mackbook Air.

[@MrCowfood]

I bought this dock hoping to do the same with my m1 macbook air. Instead this wavlink introduced noise in every element of my studio. It shot noise through my audio interface (usb), the headphone output of the m1 mac. The headphone out of my 4k monitor, the audio output of the wavlink itself. I swapped it out for a caldigit thunderbolt 4 element hub, problem solved. I found the wavlink dock to be of cheap plastic and low quality in all aspects. I can say this video review should be looked at with the use of a c-clamp and shoddy cable management as the tip of the iceberg for prospective buyers. Lesson learned for me here. Thanks.

[@PARUS1978]

What is cable brand/model ? Is that just for power or datatransfer ?

[@JuzaidiMdAli]

Hey can i know what is your M1 specs?

[@LinfordRecords]

Where did you get those wall panels and lights that are behind them? Also what and where did you get those ceiling panels as well?

[@danielkolankowski]

How about a delay on audio interface? Does it change whether you plug it directly into your MacBook?

[@Skrenja]

I second this question.

[@TTSetters]

Nice. That wavlink I'm looking at now. I'm going to be upgrading my 2015 MBP that is nothing compared to an m1 mac air for logic pro x. I was looking at ways to run the stack of audio interfaces I have (for guitars, bass, drum set....etc etc etc) midi controllers, pads, beatsteps, synths, old synths with midi pin > usb, ipad pro's running model 15, moog model D etc with midi outs. This seems like I can have my mixing desk and all of the things hooked into it. This looks like to fit the bill!

[@Leonndiaye_]

This still the best one? or did a better version come out now/same specs better price...

[@1eidji652]

your sound card is connected to the hub ?

[@jusdeno4308]

Great video thank you. Are you connecting the monitor to the WAVLINK hub ?

[@swackymusic]

3:50 yes you’re right Jon, curved monitors were for gaming or cinema…which just makes the experience great…but it’s feels rather worse when working…you have to move your head a lot ig when you have a curved longer screen…so is not meant for work…instead move your eyeballs with a proper sized and distanced screen…

[@andie2themost]

Interesting video. Thnak you. So, you don't have a problem with not eject the Backup-HardDrive before unplug the one cable? In the past that crushed one of my HDDs.

[@grimreality451]

**Buyer beware** Videos like this need to specify exactly what model MacBook Pro is being discussed as I recently purchased a Belkin USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) Gigabit Ethernet adapter for my mid-2015 MacBook Pro which is not compatible with a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 adapter. This model of MacBook Pro requires a Thunderbolt 2 Gigabit Ethernet adapter instead. Simply calling it a MacBook Pro is doing a disservice for those who may end up wasting money buying the wrong adapter.

[@SimonAnderssonOfficial83]

Do you need to eject your external hard drives manually or you can just disconnect the computer when using that thunderbolt hub?

[@Skrenja]

The only time you need to worry about ejecting hard drives is if they're in the process of transferring data.

[@TheTomallon]

its not clear which model is the expensive hub as the link takes us to a bunch of products... could you confirm the hub exact model ? thanks

[@agrizz10]

What camera/lens are you using? Looks good!

[@Jonsine]

Thanks. Sony a7siii

[@mrfuzztone]

The connection between the computer and the hub is Thunderbolt 3, not USB. If the cable is too long, you won't get the 40 GB/s Thunderbolt 3 speed. You will get 20 GB/s. The cable that comes with the hub is only 0.7 meters to do 40 GB/s. The Thunderbolt cable length spec for the high speed is pretty short unless you buy a more expensive active cable. I have a Thunderbolt 3 add-on card on my Windows 10 desktop. I use it to connect my Universal Audio Apollo 4X Thunderbolt and high speed storage

I agree de-essing is needed on the majority of KZbin dialogue not just on Jon’s channel. I watch KZbin on my iPad so unfortunately I can’t use “Audio Highjack” as an option. So I’m stuck with the 👂 piercing SSSSS. I do think it’s ironic that a lot of the Audio/Music Producers on KZbin teach you how to make your song perfect but then when it come to their own KZbin production the Audio isn’t pristine. Sometimes it makes me question their actual ability as an Audio Producer/Engineer... sometimes.

MacBooks, as with most laptops and phones, are optimized to not overcharge the battery. In fact, it is healthier for the battery to have it constantly plugged in because the battery gets bypassed and therefore never wears out.
