Hi all,
I am using a basic MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2015.
For music production, I use Fl Studio 20 and Pro tools, my MacBook has become way too slow, especially when creating a track with multiple instances of Omnisphere for example.
So I want to upgrade to a bigger and better machine, but ran into the same problem as you guys, I don't want a windows PC, but I also don't want to spend 3/4k on a new computer.
With my very limited knowledge about this, I am quite certain an I7 with 16GB of ram will suffice.
Obviously I've read a ton of threads on this website already, but I could not find everything I was looking for.
Do I need a graphics card for music production only?
When looking through the buyers guide I saw the Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 5700 XT 8GB is recommended.
Looking for this graphics card made me realize that they're sold out almost everywhere, and if not they're really expensive. This was also the case with all other recommended graphics cards..
Could someone give me an exact list of components for my build?
I know this might be a stretch, but looking for a build that would fit me, I got kind of lost.
There's a million options for every component. What components would be best for my purpose right now (Feb 2021). Because I am planning to run macOs Big Sur.
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice & suggestions!
