Reason 12 mac crack6/17/2023 ![]() I have the Studio M1 Ultra and I love it. ![]() That would put the Mini + ram + storage at $1899 vs the Studio + storage at $2199. And with either I would recommend upping the storage to 1GB. If you go with then Mini I would consider upping the ram to 32GB. Reason is not yet Native.įor me, a base M1 or M2 mini, is more than enough for 99% of my projects.Įither should be more than capable of doing the job. that's another world entirely.Ī basic M1 mini, or M1 Air 8gb, will suffice for most hardcore usage, even in Rosetta. If you'r workflow is more about sampling. There are no video of people doing reviewsįor us musicians/Djs/composers except some random Logic Pro dude, which is Silicon Native. I have no idea how many more a M2 PRO could handle. I can bend my M1 to its knees with just a couple of Viking 2 in polyphony mode if I want.įor comparison my Xeon X64 W10 PC can handle at least 20 Viking 2 ( Or Spire, Legend, etc) at max polyphony I lost some SSD speed apparently, not very noticeable in RWU. I was worried I would lose a lot in value now that the M2 is out at 599 on my M1. what's everyones thoughts between these two? which should I get? I don't wanna spend more $2,500 but want the best to work with reason. I myself is in the process of purchasing a new desktop mac and was looking at the M2 Pro Mac Mini & the Mac studio M2 max. Retina display MacBook Pros had some performance issues in Reason before 12. This was around the time when they added VST support and maybe a big change in Mac OS had something to do with it. I upgraded to this 2015 15" i7 16gb from a 2012 i5 12gb and the performance seemed quicker on my older machine. A couple years back I discovered you could swap out the old spinny hard drive, shove in some new ram an a logic board and voom. Although I'm super careful with my equipment in general, I guess I "abused" it enough taking it back and forth, that it eventually died. I used to take it to the hospital 3 days a week when I was on dialysis for 2.5 years starting back in 2013. The thing is a heavy beast though and I absolutely love the 17" "matte" screen. I never seem to feel any lag when using Reason. To be fair, it doesn't hold a candle to my Mac mini M1 with a 1TB SSD and 16 GB of ram, but the MacBook pro is no slouch either. Reason 12 runs pretty smoothly despite the 13 year old hardware. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 17" with Catalina installed on a 1TB SSD drive I put in. You'd be better to spend a little more and get something better that will last longer. I think a 2012 Mac Pro is a pretty short term and overly complicated fix for your problem. I was waiting on a higher end Mini with support for 3 monitors but Apple dropped the Studio instead so I went that route. I would have gotten the Mini except that I require 3 displays for work. Assuming you do have monitors and that's not an issue and you don't need more than two displays The Mac Mini is impressive, will handle more than a 2012 Mac Pro, and will last longer. ![]() The base model Studio is out of your desired range but I would suggest looking into the M1 Mac mini. I recently replaced my Mac Pro with a Mac Studio. There are already programs I could not update on that machine. ![]() The tower is more powerful but I still can't run extremely VST or track intense projects on it without issues and as software progresses, and it's progressing quickly, it will only get worse. 12 core 3.46 processor upgrade, 64GB of RAM, upgraded 8GB video card etc. I have a 2010 Mac Pro that is very upgraded. ![]() Also, do you have a monitor or monitors or do you need to consider that expense on top of the machine? It looks like OWC has base models starting just under $500 but the moment you do any real upgrades, which you will want, probably need for it to work as you want it to, you will be well over $500. Where can you even get a 2012 Mac Pro for $500? I'd be very cautious about who you buy such an old used machine from. And if you even dabble in Logic I wouldn't get anything but M1. Especially when we eventually (please, please, please) get Native M1 support for Reason. But the 2012 is already obsolete any base model M1 computer will probably be faster, including the Mac Mini, the MacBook Air, iMac, and definitely M1 MacBook Pros. Yes, the 2012 Mac Pro will be faster and handle more than the 2015 MacBook Pro. ![]()
