In the end, the difference in sound quality between a pro sounding recording and an amateur one has nothing to do with the software, very little to do with the hardware, and almost everything to do with the skills of the people involved. But I've used Cubase, Reaper, Sonar, Garageband, and many others, and the only problems I've had with any of them relate to me being unfamiliar with their menus and such, because I mostly use Pro Tools. I prefer Pro Tools because I have several Pro Tools only plugins that I rely on.
Since we’re focusing on music production though, we’ll be using one of my favourite Logic Pro X benchmarks which can be found here. The reason why most professionals prefer one over another is because they're most familiar with that one, or they have favorite plugins that only work on one or the other. Mac Mini M1 vs Mac Mini i3 Logic Pro X CPU Benchmarks The first thing we’ll be considering is how the new Mac Mini M1 performs compared to the Mac Mini i3. And most of the time there are work-arounds in the other DAW's that allow you to do the same thing in a different way. The differences between them are just a few features that hardly anyone uses. They all sound the same and they all more or less do the same things.
#IMAC VS MAC MINI FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION PC#
If you're planning on syncing it to video, you may want a nice video card.Īs for DAW, just go with Garage Band until you find a reason to buy something else (unless you go the PC route, in which case I recommend Reaper). If you're planning on using a ton of processor intensive plugins, you may want a multi-core computer with tons of processing speed. If you're using tons of samples, you'll probably want a computer with lots of RAM. So if you plan on running a bunch of high quality audio tracks, you may want to get a computer with a really fast hard drive. Also, building your own allows you to customize it to your needs. I've had several computers fail on me after 5 years or so due to these (which is repairable, but you have to know a good bit about electronics or take it to someone who does). Computers usually have lots of electrolytic capacitors and those can sometimes have a short life span. There was a time when Macs were better for this type of stuff, but that was in the 90's.
You're already familiar with them, and they're a lot cheaper for the same level of hardware, especially if you assemble your own (which is incredibly easy to do if you haven't done it before). Apple’s latest lineup of laptops and desktops is both sleeker and more powerful than ever, and there’s no real wrong choice between the iMac, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. Unless you just want to have a mac, I would go the PC route.
