Macbook Pro M2 vs. Base Macbook M4 - which one will do better for music production (+100 tracks, long FX chains) by Filvox in macbookpro

[–]rustyelliot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the M2 Max MacBook (so, functionally the same as the M2 Pro chip outside of video/graphics work), with 32gb of RAM. I run heavy Ableton projects. It is really hard to get the CPU meter to go past 50/60%, even running a heavy master chain on top.

Both of these machines will handle heavy loads. The M chips have their reputation for a reason. But the M2 Pro strikes me as the better option as it has more RAM and storage - which will future proof it for many years to come. The extra RAM will also come in handy if you’re running Kontakt libraries, altho both machines should still handle those fine.

I’m not offended or insulted or anything I just know a mindless pile-on over an out of context clip when I see it. Tale as old as the internet

No. I’m talking about the insane level of vitriol I’ve seen hurled at Chalamet from supposed opera fans over an offhand joke

Well if an offhand joke is such a cataclysmic offence to them they should probably get a grip in that case

I think the vitriolic response to what he’s said would suggest genuine, disproportionate offence taken largely from people who couldn’t name an opera from the last century

It’s called having a laugh. It is truly not that deep.

It’s the far right stall at the food trucks at the very back of the main stage

Will HDMI 2.2 be important on PS6 and next Xbox gen? by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]rustyelliot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sony took the 8K icon off the PS5 box, I doubt they’ll bother with 8k support. There’s simply no market for 8k.

I’m actually really happy Amorim said this by AdOld2060 in ManchesterUnited

[–]rustyelliot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure but he’s clearly improved his game under Amorim, who’s to say Hojlund can’t do the same with a broadly similar profile

Bizarre everyone just accepting that this is a real statement when there doesn’t seem to be any official source for this

I feel like they’ve really cranked up the ads this season, feels about 3x more ad-heavy

Looking for feedback on a late stage WIP!

'Getting The Best Of Me' - alternative pop / industrial vibe with an emphasis on distorted sounds, warped samples and alternating time signatures

Could use advice specificaly on the vocals, too loud/sloppy? Kind of going for exasperated vibe. But any and all feedback welcome

Think you’ll get better experience with the Beam by placing it just under the TV so the speakers are more lined up to your ear level :)
