With 8GB RAM, a small handful of virtual-instruments would have the machine RAM-starved. I am looking forward to what apple brings next. They deserve credit for finally ending the high performance=high heat and power draw of intel and AMD chips. Like I said, apple did it right this time.
But, in the videos, even the passive performed spectacularly. And it was! And yes, Air are passive and Pro have fans. I purposely tried to use up ram as much as possible to see if 8gb was enough. anything I could think of to try to make it crack. only after insane amounts of ez drummer, kontakt, diva, etc., plus having video editing program open and a bunch of safari tabs. Having had an 8gb one myself, I can say that I was difficult to make it crack. im just saying it is enough, surprisingly. they use the ssd to cache a lot more than x86. Slower hardware means slower performance. NVMe is sequential (not Random Access like RAM) PCIe 4.0 NVMe currently sustains ~7GB/Sec Professional composers working on TV and Film are running a minimum of 64GB RAM (most are now running 128GB). If a machine runs out of physical RAM, it'll use the VM swapfile (in lieu of physical RAM). I wouldn't consider a two track piano/drum project to be "heavy orchestration". On a MacBook Pro with 8GB, you've got less than 1.5GB of free RAM.
OSX now reports 6.61GB memory being used. Now, add a second track with Super Drummer 3. With just Reaper and The Grandeur loaded, OSX shows 4.51GB of RAM being used. and load up The Grandeur (acoustic piano). Open an empty project, add a single instance of Kontakt. as it's cross-platform and extremely small-footprint. I'll use Reaper as an example (MacBook Pro in this case).
buffer the transient of each sample using a small bit of RAM. Unless you're talking about orchestration or other heavy sample libraries, I have no idea what you're talking about.įirst, not all virtual-instruments stream samples from disk (Superior Drummer 3, EZ Drummer 2, Addictive Drums, etc).
