![]() Think about it, years ago there was a time when someone might say "8 GB is plenty for everything I do, why do I need 16?" And yet here you are saying you have 3-4 GB remaining with 16 GB. And as software continues to evolve, products may come out that use more RAM, since we're all moving towards having higher RAM in our rigs. Do you ever have issues with the machine lagging or taking longer to load applications? Do your DAWs ever stop and give you notifications when you have a lot going on?ġ6 GB of RAM for me would make my machine not run as smoothly. They're still expensive, even refurbished. You might as well save the money and stay on your current rig. Thanks for your view would I be limiting myself you think? I can't trust the fact my current use still leaves me with quite a bit free memory (3 or 4 GB) as an indicator I'll be fine?Honestly if you're not gonna go with more RAM, I'm not sure why you'd even buy a 15" MacBook Pro anyway. There’s only audio tracks and maybe a dozen of small soft synths in that session(Boom, XPand, Mini Grand) but a good amount of FX plugins and it went along just great with 4Gb ram. I ran the Kelly Malone demo(I don’t have any audio projects on that laptop since I have zero 3rd party stuff installed) and it played fine, system usage being at 65% memory and 25-30% CPU. if it can give you an idea, for fun I recently installed PT and all the Air Instruments and FXs bundle on the family Macbook Air 2013 with 4Gb of RAM and 128GB SSD. you’re asking this question on a gearslutz forum where bigger/more is better so judge accordingly. hopefully you mean the 16’’ and not 15? What do you think? 16 or 32 GB?Couple of things: The new 2 TB SSD drive I'm getting will be very fast too. My impression with some gigabytes of free memory with my current 16 GB running macOS 10.12 is that I don't need 32 GB, really. ![]() Main sampler is Simpler in Live 10 or TAL Sampler. As I understand it 32 GB uses more energy as well. ![]() ![]() The extra cost is about 10%, which is fine if I need it. I just don't see when I'd need more than 16GB as I currently never use up the 16 I already have.Īlso, this will be a lease and I could change to something else later on. Mostly I use VSTis and very seldom is that Kontakt. If I mixed classical music and used something like Vienna Symphonic Library I could make use of 32 or even 64 GB. This is unreliable info? I'll of course be jumping from 10.12 to 10.14, but I haven't heard there is a big difference in memory consumption. I only create and mix my own music and seldom go over 50 tracks in total. It's something you'll have to do eventually, unless you are prepared to stick with macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave forever.There is not sufficient information about your circumstances for me to make a reality-based, technical recommendation.Thanks I think I already posted that in current usage in my main DAW, unlikely to change, and using 16 GB I have several gigabytes of free memory. Look at the numerous video tutorials on YouTube and the Apple site itself. You could, very easily, import iPhoto into Photos app and keep the two Libraries until you learn and come to enjoy the considerable benefits of Photos app. The usual practice is to confirm all well with the import to Photos app, then delete the iPhoto app and Library in order to save space and move on. When done, the original iPhoto Library is still there. When you open Photos app, it immediately gives you the option of importing your iPhoto Library into it. It also allows editing apps like Affinity to be added as extensions, so bringing the editing capabilities closer to Photoshop and the like.Īnd there's an easy way to acclimatise yourself to Photos app without sacrificing iPhoto - as least to begin with. It's editing suite, for example, is now quite extensive and a big change up from iPhoto. Many of us on these Forums were concerned about the transition at the time (some years ago, now) but in reality, the Photos app is way superior to iPhoto. Not only in relation to macOS Mojave, but in transitioning to Photos app. May I just endorse what Admin chscag said in relation to iPhoto/Photos apps.
