There is a list online that is ever growing of what does and doesn't for audio production. I've got a couple of Slate ones that don't but the rest does. There is some stuff that doesn't work yet such as some plug in's. It's not the same performance as something with high end video cards for rendering but what it does in the price range is pretty amazing. Second gen is almost certainly just around the corner and most likely going to be seen in larger Macbook Pros and iMacs.

If there's no pressure to upgrade, I'd just wait a year and see what happens.

In short I'd go M1 over intel if you're coming up from very dated hardware and really need to move, and a portable or mini works for you. I've been using it for 2 months for audio duties and it's flawless.Īnyway - Come back with more info or questions if you have them. It still runs nice and cool for regular work but it's not ideal for long term stressful work, like daily video renders for example. It's Mac Mini, Macbook Pro, and MacBook Air - They all have the same hardware but the air has no fan. I should say, there's no Apple Silicon "Mac Pro" yet. Virtual bus software, some interface control suites, etc. The same is true for any software which requires the loading of. That means unless your interface is 100% class compliant or the manufacturer is explicitly stating that they've made and released M1 compatible drivers, it's not going to work. The performance and power consumption are really hard to believe but if you're already on a capable system do you really need/want to buy into the 1st gen base-model run of Apple Silicon? As impressive as it is, it is the 'mk1', so to speak.Īs Talisman points out compatibility is likely to cause problems for quite some time.Īpple implemented a Rosetta 2 layer which basically means any intel apps you had should still run just fine (and it's pretty incredible) but that doesn't account for kernel extensions (drivers) which would need to be compiled for Apple Silicon. However, if you're coming from, say, a 2015 or later mac that's perfectly capable and takes the latest OS.Does M1 make that much sense?

That was a total no-brainer upgrade, for me. Get the re-sale value while it still has it.

It was also getting to the point where an upgrade was really needed as relying on 10 year old hardware doesn't feel good. That's a huge upgrade in single core performance, multicore performance, memory speeds, hard drive speeds, external bus speeds, and power consumption, and it's portable.and there's something like 20 hours battery life!? I upgraded from a Mac Pro 5,1 12 core to a MacBook Air M1. Whether M1 makes sense for you, right now, depends on a fair few things.
