For a singer/songwriter recording/mixing/editing setup, I am weighing the performance and expandability of a new 2017 Mac Pro against the cheaper and possibly entirely adequate new 2017 Mac Mini.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.6 GHz I7 Mid 2012 Posted on Jan 18, 2017 10:32 PM Reply I have this question too ( 213 ) I have this question too Me too (213) Me too. Logic Pro X includes a massive collection of instruments, effects, and loops, providing a complete toolkit to create amazing-sounding music. You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as AutoSave for Logic Pro, Course For Logic Pro X - New Features Explored or Flying Logic Pro, which might be similar to Logic Pro X.
If I go for the Mac Mini I can upgrade the Mac Mini so it's 3GHz and 16 GB: total cost will be $1,400. The Mac Pro 3.7 GHz Quad-core with 12GB is $3,000. (Fwiw, I will be running two 23' Apple HD Cinema Displays (circa 2008, DVI). I have already figured out that I can connect the two monitors to the Mac Mini and still have a free Thunderbolt connector for the audio interface.)
I am aware that the RAM on a Mac Mini is soldered and therefore not able to be upgraded after purchase. Having already produced a few albums, I am aware that for music production, RAM is key.
Another issue is the hard drive. How would you compare the Mac Mini 1TB Fusion Drive with the Mac Pro's 256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage? Would I have to get an additional hard drive for the Mac Pro on top of the 256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage? I do have an existing external Glyph HD from circa 2011 I could use. Would using that external HD with the Mac Pro slow things down terribly?
For my current needs in the next year, say, to make this album, is it even worth it to consider going for the Mac Pro? This is a hobbyist situation and not a full-time job. I'm not going to have huge track counts or be playing loads of virtual instruments. I'll be connecting a UAD Apollo Twin audio interface and possibly installing Omnisphere for use in my productions. I'll be recording with a maximum of 2 microphones, probably one only mic at a time. The only other plugin I have is the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor. I don't see myself going crazy with plugins.
Thanks for any light you can shine on this situation
