May 8, 2018 - As we've already established, Macbooks are widely considered to be standard laptops for music production. This Macbook Pro 13-inch with. Hey guys, new to the forums here. Would love some help. I'm looking for the ideal Mac for my professional music studio and am choosing between a 2013 Mac Pro and 2015 Macbook Pro. I am currently using a mid 2015 Macbook Pro with 2.8 GHZ i7 with 16gb ram and a 500 GB SSD for both studio and personal use. I use an external RAID hard drive for data so internal hard drive size isn't of importance to me. The computer works solidly as the hub of my set up but still feel like there's some left to be desired performance wise. It used to be the case that you had to download the extension VLSub to download subtitles on VLC, but the handy feature is now fully integrated into the player. If you are using VLC to watch movies, this explains how to use the excellent Download Subtitle feature on VLC. Step 3: Now, play your favourite movie in your VLC media player and then click on the visub extension in the view. In a dialog box, search for your movie subtitles. Step 4: Once you have searched your movie title, select the desired subtitle file of the movie from. How add subtitle to vlc. Here's where the Mac Pro comes in. I'm looking into a 2013 3.7 ghz Quad Core Xeon E5 with 32 gb RAM for $2,000 to stay in the studio permanently. My question is: will these specs make a big enough performance difference to warrant the purchase? Would it be a significant upgrade to my MBP? Is 32gb overkill for music production software? Also one last question: Is there big difference in fan noise between the Mac Pro and MBP? Thanks for your help. If you're serious about music production this upgrade is definitely worth it. From experience, RAM upgrades do up the performances, but this highly depends on what you intend to put in (amount of effects, instruments and plugins). The upgrade in processor from i7 to Xeon E5 will also greatly help, since music production demands a lot of CPU performance. About the fan speed, I'm not quite sure. ![]() I'd say the fan speed of the Macbook Pro will be more noticeable if it is right in front of you, but a Mac Pro is usually stored away a little further. My final advice would be the following, if music production is just a hobby that you occasionally engage in, stick with your MacBook. However, if it is something you do every day and are making money with or are dependent on, take the dive and upgrade. The heart of most home studios is the computer, the sacred place where we keep all our music programs and plug-ins. Many questions from music producers are whether they just have to take an Apple Mac computer or a Windows PC. Which is Best for Music Production?” My answer is always: “Buy a good system” for both Apple and a (good) PC, as long as it works for you! It is very similar when people ask me: What is the best music production software / DAW for music production? The best is the one you learn and know best. Each program is good as long as you manage to master it, it is like a wild horse that needs to be tamed. Let’s get back to our main subject MAC or PC? It is known that in the 90 Apple’s MAC machine dominate the music studios. After 2000’s things have changed, so have appeared more and more computers running on Windows, perhaps because it is cheaper and easier to upgrade. Today it is hard to say which is more popular. A good, professional studio just needs to have both a Mac and a PC. Very often it happens to work on different projects that were built in specific music programs (MAC or Windows). ![]() Many audio and video file types work perfectly on both, such as WAV, AIF, MP3, MOV, AVI, MP4, so it’s quite easy to transfer them from one to another. Today, most PCs are very powerful and theoretically suitable for making music and recording music. Both platforms have software that runs only on that particular system. The PC has Sonar, Sound Forge, FL Studio, Adobe Audition. The MAC has Logic, GarageBand, Peak, Soundtrack Pro. But there’s more Both platforms can work with Ableton, Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Reaper, Bitwig Studio, Digital Performer and a few other. Fortunately, most (but not all), and work on both platforms.
