#12 CORE MAC BOOK PRO UPGRADE#
My Macbook Pro struggled with it all hence the upgrade but I'm fairly confident if all it had to cope with was the DAW + plugins it should fine. Now and then I bounce those to audio to manipulate (time/pitch, eq etc).
#12 CORE MAC BOOK PRO PLUS#
My template is mostly Kontakt instruments plus a couple of PLAY instances for HW Brass. I use the odd synth here and there but nothing huge like Omnisphere.

I rarely track guitars and delays are usually only on my underscore/ambient sections. I use Reverberate 2 on section group busses as sends and final verb and QL Spaces sometimes although I've had crash issues with it in the past (There's a thread on here about it crashing cubase and East West doing little about it). I do also like working with audio too tho. Really appreciate any input on this and Happy New Year all! A little lateįor the most part I compose the modern hybrid kind of epic action stuff with some lush symphonic strings, brass, big drums, choir etc. Secondly, is it necessary to have a display for the slave machine too or is everything viewed and done through VEP on the master? Would I need to do things on the slave like run VEP and insert plugs/instruments etc? I'm not sure exactly how VEP works. I don't know if it's possible to get more displays from this MBP?

Projects/Sessions and non lib audio samples are also on a separate HD from the OS X HD (plan on swapping that for an SSD too).įirstly, I'm now wondering if using the MBP as a master to the Mac Pro via ethernet cable would be beneficial? In a Master - Slave setup which way around should the most powerful and weaker machine(s) be and would having the Mac Pro as slave be at all limiting, should the master not be the better computer? It obviously has a better graphics card for example with the option of 3 displays compared to the MBP's 1 output etc. I have since upgraded the ram to 64GB 1333MHz DDR3 and have my largest and most used libraries on a 500GB SSD in a PCIe slot. I used to use a 2010 2.66GHz i7 8GB Macbook Pro as a single machine but a couple of years ago bought a 12 core 3.46GHz Mac Pro 5,1 which I have been using as a single machine. Got a few questions about slave systems and what you guys think is my best option - mostly for large orchestral templates in Cubase and/or Pro Tools.
