To be honest, being such a noise freak I kept mine in a cupboard for seven years, so I never gave it a second thought. One of the criticisms of the Mac Pro Trash Can is that once all the cables are connected, it can look a bit messy. Secondly, with some smart planning you can avoid having endless cables connected to your MacBook Pro. So in summary, there are many things in a studio that can generate noise hard drives, aircon, even some studio hardware the MacBook Pro isn’t one of them. Even with the door close it was like a fighter jet getting ready to take off, and it reminded me of how noisy fans can be. Just yesterday, I had to switch on one of my archive drives that sits in my drive cupboard. But not for long and nothing that has been enough to disrupt the work. It's been sitting on a stand on my desk to optimise cooling for the last few weeks, and the fans have kicked in a handful of times when I've been pushing it. Take that from someone who is paranoid about noise in the studio. So a month on what have I learnt?įirstly, my concerns about noise from the fans were mostly ill-founded. I've documented the set-up along with hardware and software here, so I won't repeat myself. I can't print the entire thread here, but thankfully not a single person trotted out the mind-numbingly boring trope of 'Buy a PC' or 'build a Hackintosh.' To summarise, the idea got an overwhelming thumbs up from people I respect, so we were off to the races. The answers (some 110) I got were fantastic and helped a great deal. Do any of you use a MacBook Pro as your main machine rather than a desktop? I've just got a new fully pimped 16" MBP and am considering just using that to simplify life." Before I leapt I posted a question on my personal Facebook wall, not a public forum I'm not insane! If you want to know my thoughts on asking questions in public forums then read my article ‘ If You Think Information Is Power Then You've Not Joined A Facebook Audio Group.’ Have Apple laptops come of age enough to be able to offer the power and flexibility to a modern studio? What about heat and noise? So the adventure began. The reason? I wanted to rationalise my set-up and try and move away from the two machine studio and mobile machine scenario. Swap my full spec Mac Pro 6,1 Trash can for a brand new MacBook Pro 16" i9.
