Apple platforms provide a comprehensive set of audio frameworks and technologies that are essential to creating a rich app experience. Use them to immerse your users in multichannel audio with spatial rendering, process sound in realtime using AVAudioEngine, and engage the creativity of enthusiasts and professionals through Audio Unit Extensions.
Nov 12, 2019 Fortunately, most music production software is compatible with Mac computers. The best Mac for audio production overall might be the Mac Pro, simply because it has the most powerful processor, but, in the end, it all depends on the music producer’s needs. People in this business need a reliable computer with plenty of memory and storage. However that being said, it’s still possible to do serious production work on a Macbook Pro. The SSD speeds on the MacBook Pro will aid with any heavy audio recording or processing in the studio or on the roads. It also has a bumped up battery life to 10 hours between charges, so producing music on the road will be a breeze. We know it’s expensive at $2,400, but if you want what is truly the best laptop for music production, you’ll want to get the 15-inch MacBook Pro released in late 2016. The new 15” MBP is great for audio production. I run many instances and VST’s with countless effects and plugins with no stall or issues. The only reason why you’d need an iMac is if you are doing post-production with large video files. That’s where that extra 16GB RAM will help in production, but even then, the 15” MBP is plenty capable.
