Hello,
I'd like to upgrade my computer with a new Mac, can you help me?
Currently I'm using a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2018 with i9 6-core, 32GB RAM and internal NVMe SSD.
I work on Cubase MIDI projects and a single VE Pro instance with about 50 VSL instruments (both VI Pro and Synchron). The plugins I use are MIR Pro and Neutron 3 (on almost every instrument).
The problem is I have to raise VSL preload size (saturating RAM) and use the largest buffer size possible in Cubase to avoid dropouts, more over the Mac always heats up spinning the fan at full blast, very annoying!
Can you give me some advices on which desktop Mac to buy to improve my workflow?
I'd like a Mac that remains the quietest possible, so I'm looking at both the iMac Pro and Mac Pro. Is the i9 27" iMac a valid alternative? Does it heats up?
Do anyone have some experience on these machines?
What CPU should I choose? How many cores?
Many thanks in advance :)
