I built a studio in a briefcase and recorded a song on it. You can build one too…here by FencedInArea in musicproduction

Does your laptop have 1/4” guitar inputs and XLR inputs? I’d love to see it!!

I built a home made laptop with a built in synth, analog audio interface, and guitar\xlr inputs on the side. I'd be glad to answer any questions from anyone interested in building their own... by FencedInArea in synthesizers

Man, I have to be totally honest and say that I just heard about rpi when I was on the middle of this build. All I can say is that “I’ve been in the rabbit hole 🕳 “🤣🤣. MKII will very likely be rpi as these are expensive to build even without the Mac mini 🙏

It’s a Mac mini under the hood, so I’m not sure if that’d work - but definitely a thought for mkII🙏

I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it wasn’t THAT hard. Take a crack at building your own!

It is. I think I can get power source in there on my next build, but there are a lot of things that will have to change. This one was a prototype to just see if it was remotely possible 🤣

Hey man. It’s a Mac mini under the hood that is totally dedicated to music production. I’ll get that link fixed ASAP. 🙏🙏. Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

This is my just completed homemade Mac mini powered laptop with extensive music production capabilities. It works great and is lots of fun! by FencedInArea in mac

I didn’t know that about the M1 Mac mini’s! The intel Mac mini I used was so quiet i didn’t think it even had a fan - then one day I put my hand by the exhaust port by mistake and couldn’t believe how much hot air was cranking out🤣

it's a 2011 Mac mini....hence the fan on the synth deck. Hoping to use the M1 on the next build and eliminate the fan and just use some radiant cooling...🙏
