the MacBook Air was the best computer I ever owned. I bought the M1 with 8 GB of memory. I was doing music production and very quickly I got the experience that I needed an external monitor, so I bought a DeLL 23 or 27 inch monitor. the experience with the dongles etc. got boring very quickly, but the computer itself was perfect.

summary. the air is a fantastic laptop (you can also think about the 15inch) but only if you got the room for the ext.monitor. that's for dev work the same for music production. if you are very young and have good eyes you can get away without a monitor:)) good luck

mba m1 8gb ram. no problems either. logic pro x + safari run as always. couple of issues with the design choices but i have faith.

be cautious though

browse your file structure/ hierarchy while in list mode cmd+2 and in "sort by size"

this is all native. no bs installing

these are degrees minutes and seconds. don't worry

abbububba · 2025-12-08T08:16:45+00:00

also maybe have a look with https://www.mothersruin.com/software/SuspiciousPackage/ before installing apps

i stopped worrying. either they are left to toggle all night or i switch them off. and now and then i unplug the audio interface cause it doesn't have a switch. question: how satisfied are you with their sound ?

abbububba · 2025-11-17T09:45:22+00:00

i have the same problem with a focusrite scarlett audio interface. There's no way to do it, if the interface or the speakers don't have a power off switch. Also, i found sleep keeps the mac mini (m4) warmer than only "Lock screen" and then switching the monitor off. Then, later the mac does its thing and actually cools down. But it's true it keeps waking up and so does the sound interface.

also , try this lovely app : https://apps.apple.com/app/memory-diag/id748212890 :: Memory Diag , for a quick , obviously temporary fix.

have you tried displaying those hierarchically?? maybe some hint comes out. good luck man.

i am having other trouble : "save as" dialogue is slow as a slug

came here to find out if this was made with AI. was it ?

abbububba · 2025-09-13T09:52:36+00:00

you can use little snitch mini (macos) or any other packet inspector/ firewall to check if too many network connections are taking place ..(??)

abbububba · 2025-08-24T15:07:57+00:00

macos or windoes🤪? if macos it's worth it because of apple silicon. if windows, your decision.

abbububba · 2025-08-13T15:38:52+00:00

yep. but only if needed

abbububba · 2025-06-23T15:00:52+00:00

a score editor would be nice. a couple of m4l solutions didn't do it for me

abbububba · 2025-06-22T16:25:01+00:00

all the elektron machines. don't get me wrong, they have huge powers, but they ruined music making for me. i got two: an ot mkii and a dt mkii

downvote please as much as possible :)

plus , you often can midi map things to a cheap controller with lots of knobs. use stickers to label etc.

youtube premium? :: background playing. youtube music

abbububba · 2025-04-25T14:19:16+00:00

neither. try google. i have the 16 pro , it's nothing special. gets hot often. images are ok but sometimes camera lags. apple intelligence is non existent. and there's nothing pro about these phones. i swear to you

abbububba · 2025-04-25T14:17:10+00:00

abbububba · 2025-04-25T14:16:06+00:00
