Logic Pro / Pro Tools on a Macbook Air

Looking to buy a Macbook Air 11 inches for portability. You wonder how Logic Pro and Pro Tools 12 X running on this, logic especially since I'll probably use that more. I was able to run Logic Pro 9 very well on an old iMac (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB of memory) - more than a dozen securities using several plugins - although if I remember well Pro Tools 11 had more problems. Storage space is not big, but I use an external hard drive for non-current projects.

I'm no problem under Logic Pro X and Pro Tools on a MacbookAir 12.

However, mine is the version 13 "and 2.2 ghz processor i7, 8 GB of RAM, so it's the highest specification.

And I use an external flash drive.

I recently met a guy, he runs Logic Pro based 11 "Macbook air, without problems, if it does not use a lot of tracks or plugins.

the macbook air is too large, very light.

I would go for the higher specification that you can afford to really, with the 13 "those offers a bigger processor.

with Pro Tools, you suffer on the basic 11 ".

keep us posted on what you decide to do.

  • The MacBook MacBook Pro vs the 2015 2012 Air

    I'm currently looking in laptops refurbished Mac as a device to program in XCode on and use it as a laptop school.

    My options seem to be the 2012 MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air 2015. While my main focus will be programming, I need my computer to be able to handle other tasks. My complaint with the laptops has always been the General slowness are associated, when they become easily outdated. In the MacBook Air, much higher transfer speeds of flash memory should help, but the big difference of GHz between the two processors will be a problem?

    In the 2012 MacBook Pro, it runs at 2.5 GHz with a Turbo Boost to 3.1 GHz.

    In 2015 MacBook Air, it runs at a meager 1 .6GHz, but the Turbo Boost can reach up to 2.7 GHz.

    Big Turbo Boost of the MacBook Air, it seems competitive, but it will never really reach this clock speed? I've never owned a Mac for myself, and while the Turbo Boost looks impressive on paper, I do not understand if Turbo Boost is effective when it is actually implemented or not.

    Unfortunately, I'm used to my 4.0 GHz custom PC, so it is difficult for me to understand the magnitude of these small clock speeds and Turbo Boost.

    All opinions welcome, thank you for your thoughts!

    Hi milehigh3r

    In this article MBP = MacBook Pro and MBA = MacBook Air the MBP specific I compare the MBA with is Late 2012 15"

    Two of these laptops have there for and against.  I'm assuming that you look the MBP 15 "and 13" MBA

    In the MBP i7 would also go more high as you say that its Turbo clock is 3.1 GHz which means that it is the fastest frequency, he's going to go.

    Pros of the MBP (MacBook Pro)

    Retina display (Macbook air is not equipped with a Retina display)

    Can use up to 16 GB of Ram

    There are also more ports on the MBP

    All CPUS MBP is i7 which means you would get the benefit of technology hyper threading which creates a 4 additional virtual cores.  What will make it a 8 Core CPU.

    the MBA would not have this functionality if you upgrade the $130 extra for the i7 (Note: this i7 in the MBA is only a Dual Core)

    The MBA Pros / Cons

    Latest generation ports (Thunderbolt 2 (Thunderbolt 1 is on the MBP))

    You cannot install any OS prior to OS X 10.11 El Capitan

    To conclude I totally recommend that you go for the MBP because you have found the two nuclei and i7 in standard, you can also get much better display.  Also all Apple products Refurbished come with new batteries (I would say that you go to a class A which means better conditions).  Try to get a SSD if possible as they will make it lot faster on the start menu to the top of the OS and applications.

    Need anything better explaining it, or have any questions feel free to answer me.

  • MacBook air water damage recovery of data flash storage of air from macbook to macbook pro retina

    Last week, I spilled water on my macbook air that extinguishes immediately after that.
    It's been a week that I let it dry without attempting to start.

    Unfortunetaly, I did have a backup for 2 weeks, (of course bad luck should come at the wrong time), and I really need to get my data from the flash ssd drive.

    I thought to transfer the player of Flash ssd of the macbook air to a macbook pro retina and retrieve the data since the macbook pro retina by making a backup. Would this work? This would not damage the macbook pro retina?

    I have a macbook air early 2014, the macbook pro retina is also the same year.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Best regards.

    You'd better using an external enclosure of the MacBook Air SSD rather than MacBook Pro.

  • My new work MacBook Air with my WD MyCloud mirror? He is currently working with my old MacBook Pro.

    I'm about to upgrade my MacBook Pro 7.1 (13-inch mid-2010 with OS X EL Capitan), a MacBook Air. I currently use a WD MyCloud mirror for the back upward. I'm afraid that my cloud mirror will not work with my new MacBook Pro? Can you tell me if they will be compatible?

    If you use OS X El Capitan on your MacBook Pro MacBook Air will have the same OS X so I see no reason why he would not compatible. If you connect to it via an ethernet cable from the Pro and you want to do the same thing with Air, you will need to buy a NIC for Air

  • The image quality of MacBook Air vs Pro

    Hello

    I just bought a MacBook Air 13 "and I got a MacBook Pro 13" (non-retine) till now.
    If I compare the image quality between Air and Pro there is a difference of contrast and sharpness of the colors. The monitors setting is the same on both Macs, the Air is even supposed to have high resolution (1440 x 900 instead of 1280 x 800, the MacBook Pro). Graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB vs 4000 in my MacBook Pro.

    Anyone know if there is a difference in both computers display technology, or if this could be a problem in my Macbook Air?

    THX in advance and best regards

    MacBook Air (13 ", Anfang 2015)

    Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz

    LCD display is different between Pro and Air. Don't know which group is better.

  • Why my preferences of MacBook Air (Yosemite) do not show all of the options that show on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks)?

    Each time, click on "Firefox - preferences", I get only a partial view of the options that are displayed normally on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks). If I click on a different subtopic, preferences to close and reopen the preferences, I get a more complete screen on THIS subject, but never have I could see "saved passwords" or "Change Master password" on the MacBook Air.

    This seems very odd. It would be useful to see what you're talking about. Can you post some screenshots of the respective preferences and describe the difference you see?

  • MacBook Air 13 vs MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display

    Hello! I worked as a teacher in a dental school & I'm an orthodontist by Profession.

    So far, I was using a Windows laptop. Now, I am planning to buy a MacBook.

    I did some research and I found two best options:

    MacBook Air 13 inch or Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina display

    My work includes the drafting of documents, Internet browsing, electronic mail, preparation of presentations. We also regularly take pictures of our patients. I will also use the software of management of patients. Watch movies from time to time.

    Please help me to choose between the two options above.

    What configuration (RAM & storage) agree?

    I intend to keep the MacBook for next 5-6 years.

    I also read in some messages that some changes are in the pipeline for Macbook Air in this year.

    DR. VIKAS SEHGAL

    India

    There are always changes in the "pipeline" but we do not know what they are and we are discouraged from their review.

    If what you have described is your needs, an MBA and a MBP has them will satisfy.  As I see it, it's a matter of your preference of views respective (classic vs retina) and costs are related.  The MBA has long battery life and is lighter than the MBP, but maybe it's not important to you.

    Ciao.

    Addendum: as a general rule, install at least 8 GB of RAM and get as much storage as the bank account permits.  The processor speed is by far the less important material.

  • MacBook Air and Macbook Pro for a country with a moderate speed internet

    Hello.

    Please can anyone provide me suggestions on what kind of Macbook (preferably between the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro) to buy? I will be moving to Nigeria and will love a stylish laptop that I can use when there is a poor network.

    Thank you.

    The two manage networks in the same way... slow food makes slow refresh, fast food done fast refresh.

    My concern would be supported in Nigeria.  New units of the retina are sealed and cannot be repaired easily, and if you perform self-service you cancel the warranty Apple Stores years FSAA (Apple authorized service providers) are your best source of support.

    Keep several good backups in case of failure, as although Macs are reliable, the bad parts pass through.  There are also thieves in all regions of the world who love bright shiny Macs.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air does not print

    Products:

    • HP Officejet Pro 8600
    • MacBook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    • MacBook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)

    Question:

    • Why my Mac initially print fine, but now will not print?

    Full article:

    I have a wireless network in my house that consisted of a 30 MB cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 laptops from Dell with Windows 7, a laptop Lenovo with Windows 7 and Dell with Windows 7 trick, all printed matter very well.

    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.

    I added a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  The two Macs printed fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stop.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP's Service, and finally, they said to my router.  So I called Netgear.  NETGEAR was useless!  They wanted me to accept fees for services before they would even discuss the issue.

    As a result of information provided by the HP support service, and because Netgear will not support their product, I quickly bought a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.

    Macs will recognize the printer will print if connected via a USB cable, but do not print wirelessly on the Officejet Pro 8600.  The fine impression CPA.

    The frustration that is felt is made up by the fact that Macs printed very well with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks and now the printer shows just "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)

    Please help, thank you very much for all support.

    As a side note, the representative of the HP Service was very friendly and definitely tried to support the HP product, which is much more I can say about Netgear.

    Thank you

    Hello

    More likely a problem with Multicast, which Apple devices are relies on to communicate with the device through the network.

    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.

    Connect to the power supply and wait 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off the HP printer and turn it back on, then check all difference.

    If it persists, try to change the configuration of your router as follows

    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you with the steps as a best efforts and those based only on my own knowledge. You can try to change the settings of the router at your own risk:

    1. Open the router configuration page (you'll find listed as the default gateway by clicking the icon on the printer wireless, then print a network configuration report.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Click the configuration option in the menu, and then click Setup WAN.
    4. Be sure to uncheck the box Disable IGMP proxy transmission and apply the changes.
    5. Click on the LAN configuration on the same Setup menu.
    6. Set the RIP RIP-2 Version and apply the changes.
    7. Restart your router and then check any change.

  • I have a new macbook air, how can I sync it to my current macbook pro?

    Hi forum, I'm sure this question has been asked several times.  However, when I did a search I could not find an answer.

    In any case, I have a new macbook air I bought for travel purposes.  At first, I didn't want to sync it with my macbook existing pro... now, I think it was a bad decision.  And... I can't understand how to "marry" the two.  I would like to use the macbook pro as my 'home' or ' base' machine.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you

    You can sync things like photos, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc. through the settings in the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.

    If you have any documents, you do not want to be on both machines and synchronized you can do this by turning on iCloud drive in this same window of preferences and before moving the documents in iCloud drive folder. A way convenient to make this file accessible is to go in the preferences from the Finder, click on sidebar at the top of the Preferences of the Finder window and put a checkmark in front of iCloud drive in the Favorites section of this window.
