NEW UPLOAD: Overproduction is one of the easiest ways I lose a good idea. How I fixed a struggling track by simplifying my project with simpler melodic parts. Deleting plugins, removing compression, reducing return channels, and focusing on sound selection instead of effects. With sound examples, but mostly talk!
MacBook Pro M5 BASE: I am going to record a video showing real music production projects tomorrow or the day after.
Then it's going back to the store. For a full refund.
I severely underestimated the used market for Apple products where I live. I have had the M3 Ultra Mac Studio out for sale and also the M4 MacBook Air and no one seems to be interested in them. At least not for the price which I think is reasonable but apparently it's not. I have gotten offers but they have been extremely low in my opinion.
I still have a return window for the M5 from the store I bought it from, so I am going to use that and return it.
The M3 Ultra is overkill for me in music production. But I am going to keep it for the time being, along with the M4 MacBook Air as my travel companion.
Honestly my music production have been my main focus lately. Because... it's going pretty well! Maybe I will talk about it in another video. Do you want that?
Anyways... that was today's update. Now I need to sleep.... doctors orders. ;)
NEW UPLOAD: Yes, the base M5 is better than the base M4 in Music Production. About 20% ish percent. There you have it, you don't have to watch the video. ;)

NEW UPLOAD: BASE M5 Macs Good for Music Production...?
Add 10-15% more awesomeness to the M4. And you get this new M5 CPU from Apple. Even more if you are interested in GPU performance!
