I go nuts over my Mac Studio Ultra with 48 cores and 64 Gb RAM!!! I use it for the Adobe Creative Suite, C4D, XP, and RS. I am in computer Nirvana for over 6 months now. Thank you Apple.

Its sooo Rad! Never fails to impress!

Still use my Mac Pro 2013 64gb Ram 1tb SSD and Dual D700 > was going to upgrade to M2 Studio Max but M3 Version just around the corner so will wait a little longer.... I have the Mac Mini M1 with 16 gigs and even that kicks my poor " Bucket " Mac but I can not get rid of Her just yet....

Thanks so much! Feel free to check out some of my other videos

Great video!

[@MrRipley]

Thanks so much dude! I check out your channel! I rate your stuff also :)

Thank you, for this 1-year review of using the "Mac Studio". Glad that, you also shared your 2013, "trash can" Mac Pro. Because, I have been telling others in my opinion this is a natural upgrade desktop computer for users of the "trash can" Mac Pro (smile...smile).

[@MrRipley]

Absolutely! What a bunch of wicked machines!

[@carliii6483]

I agree! I will be turning down my beloved trash can soon in favor of a Mac Studio M2. So excited!

[@carliii6483]

@@MrRipleyMany Thanks!

[@psyanah4542]

Currently also running the 2013 trashcan and finally managed to snag a m1 max studio. I know people are gushing over the ultra models, but I really hope the m1 max is still a worthwhile upgrade coming from a D700 trashcan with the lowest spec Xeon cpu 😭 I’ve been struggling financially for years never able to upgrade, so when I saw one on sale at 1300 euros I finally bit the bullet since I figured waiting even longer is gonna hurt me financially even more. I could have waited even more for an m2 or even m3 but then again, who knows if I’d be able to afford those then 😬 Really hope that m1 max is gonna be a significant upgrade 🙏

@@psyanah4542 I agree 100 percent with your logic. Now having a M-1 "Mac Studio" will future proof you for the next ten (10-year period (smile...smile).

I'm curious how many tracks with instrument plugins you can use in Ableton. I'm considering getting on for my studio since I use both Ableton and Reaper in my shows. Generally, I have 32 tracks of instruments in Ableton. Curious how your mileage is.

[@MrRipley]

Sorry I let this comment slide... Ive made 3 tunes now in ableton with a ton of processing and plug-ins etc, (I dont know the exact number of tracks) but no issues at all. Its a truly flawless system. Shits all over the last MAC PRO system im had ahah

How many years should this Mac last?

[@dronefilmsgermany]

is it better than the mac mini?

[@MrRipley]

A different league!

[@rigas333]

Please I need some help. I'm a filmmaker and need to edit my movies. I'm about to get a Mac studio with m2 max chip 32gb of ram and 512gbssd is the 512 enough or should I get 1TB

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

1TB SSD and 64gb RAM if budget allows

[@rigas333]

@@rodneyturnerphoto i got the 32gb of ram and 1tb HD cause the 64gb of ram was outside of my budget

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

@@rigas333 it’s all good. That’s a great option. I’m currently running M1 13MBP 16gb RAM and 1TB SSD and it handles most of my video needs.

[@rigas333]

@@rodneyturnerphoto is it good for editing film?

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

@@rigas333 yes. I’m currently shooting with Nikon’s NRAW 4k60 and it runs smooth. I’ll probably wait another generation before upgrading.

Very difficult to listen to what you are saying with the loud music

Apologies! This was one of my first KZbin Videos, I have now understood my levels for youtube videos.
