Appreciate the video ❤. Also "ready to be confused?" At the start had me laughing so hard 😂. I've been very confused between, M1 pro, M2 pro, or M3 pro. All models with at least 16Gb RAM. The problem is every youtuber says different thing. Some says best laptop for music production is M3 Pro. Some says M3 Pro is weak, go for M1 pro... then you check M2 pro you can see it can get the same as M1 pro if you went with 12 cores, as you can get 8 performance cores on the M2 pro.. It's very confusing like.. Would appreciate the help on this. Thanks a lot! And you're looking great Bjornar, keep up the informative videos ❤

Great Vid… Thanks👍

I actually bought the M3 Max because of low fan noise both at home and in live performances (I sometimes do pretty silent music). I only work on low battery mode to keep them off and haven't heard them a single time until now even when doing intense audio processing stuff in Ableton! The descision was also influenced by your videos, so thanks for your youtube work here!

Yes the Mac fan curves are optmized for silence. Glad my videos helped!

Hey Bjonar, thanks for making these videos. I’ve been researching whether to upgrade from my MBP M1 Pro / 16 ram for Pro Tools because sometimes it gets bogged down with high track counts and plugins. Your insight on performance cores was very helpful. Thanks again!

Hi, I am stuck between a Mac studio and a Mackbook Pro. One thing that puts me off the macbook pros is the fan noise (I had an intel i7 that made lots of fan noise). Do the newer Mseries macbooks suffer from loud fan noise?

@bjornark

If you stress the system hard for a long time it will turn on the fans. However the M series is on a completly other level in terms of performance. So it all depends on your workflow.

Hi Bjornar, you've been releasing your own music online for a while. Is it possible for you to make a video on how to release music, like making them available on Spotify/ Apple music? What are the dos and donts and what should we bare in mind? I am inspired by you and I really want to try to upload my music to streaming platforms 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It is straightforward- cd baby ditto and many others out there provide this service - some are one time fee some are monthly or yearly. Once you that you claim your artist name with the platforms like iTunes Spotify etc… hope this helps and maybe the channel owner will create a video step by step. Cheers

Hi! I’ve got an Intel i5 HP and I’m thinking about buying a MacBook (M3). I’d like to start using some musical software such as Ableton or Logic Pro. Do u think that a 256gb and 8gb is enough? Would you buy at least 16gb of RAM instead? I’m thinking about buying a M3 with 16gb, 256gb and an external hard drive. Tell me please your thoughts! Thanks!

16GB and an external hard drive would work just fine.

Hi !! What is the specs of your PC that you are using to produce ? Can you share with us ? Thanks, and congratulations for the videos!!

@leonelpaparotto - I'll add this before Bjornar gives his full reply - he has a Ryzen 9 7950X AMD system, self built. If you sub to his channel and then go to the video section, if you search "PC" or "Ryzen", or even just scroll down the vids you'll see lots of comparisons between his PC and the Apple gear in Ableton!! ;)

Doesn’t look like we’re getting M3 Mac Studios so might as well get the M2 Max now and then in a couple of years upgrade to whatever is the newest one.

@@bjornark I've seen "well informed" mac insiders say they still think an M3 Mac Studio could come later this year. Who knows.

The only thing that annoys me about windows laptops are the fan noise. I have a decent laptop, but once you stress it the fans kick in like crazy at times. Oh well.

I just order M3 max (macbook pro) 16 inch. 64GB Ram. 1tb. 16core CPU / 40 GPU. Im a music producer, video editor and graphic designer. Do you thing I made a good choice? Thanks You for your video’s 🎉

I had a Mac Pro 12 core 192GB. Then i7 PC 32GB. Then Hackintosh 32GB i9. I've just recently bought an M2 Pro Mini and it's perfect. I can run Spitfire BBC Orchestra and other projects with Superior Drummer 3 and numerous synths. It's by far the best DAW I've had since 2009

I can guarantee that there is nothing music production wise that can’t be done on M2 pro 12 core chip. There’s no point in spending more money, 8 performance cores (4 efficiency) with 16gb ram and 1Tb ssd is a perfect music production laptop in my opinion.

Yes, and if you have special needs you already know about them. In most cases.

I would probably get the 11-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 18GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage instead. You will get 1 more performance core. And 2 more efficiency cores.

You could also buy some hardware and take the load off your computer. Buy a cheaper laptop/desktop and spend the difference on some hardware. Just another idea.
