Advice on buying a new Mac Book Pro

Posted by Florence Artur on February 19, 2024 at 8:41am

Hi All,

My 2016 MacBook Pro is giving signs of fatigue, so I think it's time to buy a new one. I looked at a couple of reviews and I think the 14" M3 pro model is a good candidate.

However, it comes with quite a few variants regarding RAM, CPU cores and GPU cores. I don't know which, if any, of these options could help Studio Artist run more smoothly during live sessions. I've always been told that the more RAM, the better as a general rule, but the technology has changed a lot and I' m not sure if that's still true. And as for the number of cores, I have no clue how much these affect Studio Artist's performance. I would welcome some advice!

Thanks
Florence

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
