Though it did slow things down a bit so I figured its time to upgrade so I can work without the anxiety and pain of having to do these extra steps. Though the last couple of years with much more cpu intensive plugins coming out, it started to get a little sluggish, though I was still able to make it work with some extra steps (offline bounces, freezing etc.). Had its OS upgraded beyond its official limit and it ran everything fine. Surprisingly it held up quite well and even now it works fine. So up until earlier this year, I was working with a maxed out and upgraded-as-much-as-possible 2008 Mac Pro. Also a lot of using IO for mixing and external midi/midi over USB in combo with software synths and orchestral libraries etc. I thought it's important to state this because I feel that the context in which this is all used it important, and I happen to have a wide range of things I do which requires a lot of different processes. etc., as well as a decent amount of outboard gear and analog summing. A lot of plugins, including whatever the current standards are, Soothe, etc. etc., as well as a lot of hardware synths and drum machines. For production I use a lot of modern standards, Nexus/Serum/NI kontakt/Spitfire etc. The genres range from more traditional rock/indie rock (so live instruments) to modern electronic based productions (heavy soft synths, plug ins etc). Here is a 5 month thread of a 32gb Mac Studio M1 Max running Logic Pro X and Apogee Symphony IO mk1
TLDR: Don't buy any Apple silicon computer if you do heavy music production/mixing for a few more years until software catches upto hardware.
