I have a bunch of their plugins, most of them half-baked. Head Crusher is the only one I use regularly. It's a very powerful saturator.
The i7-11800H and other Intel/AMD processors may not be just as efficient as Apple Silicon processors, but the main problem seems to be the...
I'm not a Mac fan, don't really like MacOS and, FWIW, vastly prefer Linux, including for music production. This is how the 2021 M1 iMac I'm...
That's fine. I now have a 2021 M1 iMac, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 8/512 GB. Before that I had a M1 Mac mini, 16/512 GB. So, not the cheapest, base...
Macbook Air is the cheapest Apple laptop. You were referring to the M1 Pro and that one only comes in the Macbook Pro 14" and 16". And even...
Until recently I had a strong aversion towards anything Apple. However, they really changed the game with Apple Silicon. On one hand, Intel/AMD...
I was referring to 100+ tracks projects. Nothing particularly light about it. I also tried to push the M1 Mac mini to the limit. Loaded a MIDI...
I tried hard, but couldn't come up with an audio-related task that would make the fan in the M1 Mac mini or iMac become audible. Complete silence....
Fan noise has become a serious problem. I just sold a very nice brand new Lenovo laptop, 12th gen 12-core CPU, because it was way too loud to...
:) I don't know about productivity, but creativity and craziness have always gone hand in hand quite nicely. There are so many examples, to the...
Instead of "Despite" I would say "Thanks to". Otherwise, thanks for the great post.
NI Massive, seller's immediate response upon payment, registered, working... a smooth transaction.
You make some sweeping statements, but your experience is far from universal. There is a learning curve, but not everybody encounters a tone of...
When I started buying records as a kid, Quadraphonia was long dead, but still occasionally mentioned on some of the record sleeves. It was always...
The point is not whether your mixes were objectively or subjectively better, or preferred by a group of people representing general public. It's...
There's one obvious choice that ticks all the boxes, and then some, except for the ability to run Windows: Macbook Air M1 :)
It will depend on the distance between the mike and the laptop, but I don't think zero noise pickup is a realistic expectation in this case. As...
It may be completely silent, but some CPU throttling will be inevitable. OTOH, it may be perfectly acceptable for the task at hand - simple vocal...
Haven't tried every laptop out there, but the fan in my old Lenovo Thinkpad T540p has been satisfactorily quiet and the fan noise doesn't contain...
Very much true. Even without taking into account possible time constraints.
