computer is an essential foundational tool and while we're all excited to see how Apple's new Mac Studio will fit the bill I wanted to give a last harra of a look at the new Macbook Pro now in the world of tech YouTube we've done our benchmarks and tried out what's new to tell you how it is and the new Macbook has impressed just about all of us but what about the types of people who they are made for what is the MacBook Pro like in the real world the results might surprise you they surprised me but you this is Andrew Mueller he's a musician friend of mine who goes by the name Viola Bloom viola VI Bloom VI Bloom he's been growing in music production for a number of years now accumulating a large array of cool synths and effect mobs that plug into his 2015 MacBook Pro glowing logo and all I mean I can pull up a song file software-wise music producers are spoiled for Choice with their digital audio workstation software Andrew's Choice when writing and producing Tunes is reason the reason I like reason is that you can build like very complicated instruments and it's really cool it's based on more of an analog look like even when you go into it you see these little rack units that you would normally see if you went into like a million dooll studio and you can turn them around and see the wiring and you can rewire them you could do all this stuff using something like Ableton is like more appropriate but I hate using Ableton like to write music with yeah cuz this is a song I wrote in the summer I'm just starting to load it now but then once you go to play it it's like it's going to stutter a ton for us a slow computer is a bit of a nuisance but for Andrew it can really cramp his creative flow for audio buffer size is like very important so you can see like we have a certain amount of samples here and it tells us what our latency is so like this song for example will not play unless I have this set to 2,000 samples so this is like cuz this is what you have to do is you have to keep jumping up your buffer size every time your project gets bigger and now you can touch the project less because you're like oh well I want to record some instruments it starts to create a mess so it's like you okay well I'm just going to increase the buffer size it's like a very long delay it's literally impossible cuz you like your brain gets confused cuz you hear it a second later it's just like you feel like an idiot so can we make Andrew's life a little better this new Macbook Pro with an M1 Pro processor is about four times faster than his fourth gen Intel Core i7 laptop and so I want to give it to him to see if such an upgrade actually makes any difference stop on the other side what about one of our video editors like Hoffman whom you might recognize he's an editor here at LMG who occasionally takes photos for Merch on LTT Store.com dress like me with their plaid flannel in the edit Den he uses a massive powerful desktop PC Threadripper 390 in all it's just so fast I don't really have to care about his workstation is very powerful and very big so I want to see how much an M1 Max powered MacBook Pro with 24 cores Compares what the heck are you doing well we're replacing your desktop heavy and hot with the new Macbook Pro we're going to see if it's just as fast is it going to be faster than mine well you're going to tell me you know this is what you want not going to say anything the goal with this video is to get an idea of what it would be like were someone to add one of these MacBook Pros into their workflow so we're going to need a bit of time at least over a week to let them get their hands dirty so what do I do in the meantime I should probably read the sponsor thing right and it's Zoho CRM for those of you in business sales

snowballing costs better still get 50% off your annual subscription when you use code Z CRM 50 with the link in the description below many of the new features introduced in the MacBook Pro are extremely handy especially in Hoffman's case that SD card reader almost worth the price of Entry alone except for the fact that you also get that fabulous xdr display the screen it's just so nice I I can trust the screen I actually edit photos on the screen all the time for LTD store the keyboard is just so nice it's so tactile it's exactly what I wanted at his desk Hoffman edits high quality High bit rate Mac Address footage now we do have a server to edit footage of of however it and Max have a bit of a Fickle relationship so Hoffman's editing locally so how does the MacBook compare to the Threadripper there are times when the trans coat is just a little bit slower for example it would be like 7 minutes to transcat something on the thre rer versus a 12 minutes on let's say MacBook Pro but I just look at it and you know try to listen to the fan and I rarely hear the fans sometimes I mean it is a bit of a big difference 12 minutes to 7 minutes it's pretty rough I would say but the time difference is like a couple minutes it's not exactly close but it's not exactly far it just it surprises me every time is that I can carry such a powerful computer with me in in such like a small form factor and I look at my threat Ripper machine it's like big and bulky so back to Andrew the issue for him was managing the buffer in reason to hear his multi-layered song he needed a big buffer which meant he can't play along with it so is the new Mac any better like my old computer once a song got bigger I would have to be up to like 2,000 samples which is like it's very hard to record so that's not too bad for only 512 samples like I was expecting it to like like I was at 2,000 so I'm gonna go up more samples your sample rate oh it's so it actually just got worse when I changed it to a thousand samples for some reason what yeah maybe maybe that's what I need to experiment with is lower like my D my DSP is at like Max that's very weird right it's getting worse and worse and worse I think it'll get better now at 4,000 and like the new Macbook I opened up a song and like IM immediately it wouldn't play until I had it at 4,000 samples so how did you feel in the performance was not as good oh man that was so disappointing it felt awful it was like oh did I make a huge mistake here like it made me feel like I was an early adopter it shows that the problem here is the software in the digital audio workstation space reason is known for being a little behind their latest update 12 now supports HD graphics for retina screens Andrew however uses version 11 and while it should run on M1 through Rosetta something is clearly getting Lost in Translation and Native M1 support looks a long way off despite the M1 being a part of the system requirements so uh are you going to buy a Macbook I'm yeah I bought a Macbook and it just shipped last night and it just shipped last night and I got a UPS sticker on my door and I went and picked it up just before you uh this interview you still had got one anyway I still I still got it anyways yeah oh you got a space gray one it's space gray what can I say for me I was motivated just because my computer was getting slow and and while I'm trying to work on these projects and I got 2,000 samples on my buffer size and then I upgraded it doesn't even solve that problem so now I'm actually in a funny position where I'm like oh maybe I would move to Ableton because I know it's going to perform way better and that might be a mistake but I'm motivated to make that mistake because I have this problem now these powerful Apple silicon Maxs have brought loads of enthusiasm to the platform especially from creative professionals like Hoffman and Andrew both of whom really fell for the features design and future of the new architecture it's like four grand enough even to put their money where their mouth is but after the hardware transition comes the hard part which is the software transition there are loads of great chip features like the neural engine the media engine and countless GPU cores for developers to take advantage of but it's going to require lots of work to do so larger developers like the ones who make Ableton will get there faster in fact we saw them in the Apple Studio announcement but it's harder for smaller developers like the one who makes reason and at a time when Apple's developer relationships are dropping towards all-time lows this might be for users the biggest difficulty of this transition would I get one here's the deal I'm saying that I love it because I didn't pay for it if you don't need to upgrade then just wait a bit when you look at machine that's so small and you tell yourself that it's almost $4,000 you kind of start to think is it justifiable because if I can't use it in a professional environment then where am I going to use it thanks for testing out this Mac Address I'll admit this wasn't quite the conclusion I was expecting when I set out to make this video but if you think the MacBook Pro will make your Computing faster then give this a like and if you're curious about the Mac Studio then subscribe now in the comments I'm curious about what apps you use that aren't quite Apple silicon native yet like Microsoft teams"}
