I’ve decided to move away from hardware gear and go fully in-the-box for my music production setup. I picked up a Mac again-just didn’t want to rely on Windows for everything (except gaming, of course). I gave Linux a shot for composing, but I still prefer Cubase. It just fits my workflow perfectly.
By the way, the Mac Studio M4 Max (upgraded 16-core) runs Cubase super smoothly, even with a bunch of CPU-heavy plugins! I was pretty disappointed with the Mac Mini M4 at first, but turns out it just wasn’t the right fit for me. Honestly, digital plugins have gotten so good lately that I realized I can fully replace my hardware with them.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to using hardware gear again…!
