![]() ![]() but that’s always been the case in my experience. I would imagine that running many many orchestral vsts will be fine but as for an exact count I’m not certain at this point. ![]() And it’s only at 50/60 percent cpu use on the cubase metre. A couple of izotope 9 advanced master chains. Many Soothes which use heavy cpu real time processing. My test projects have involved around 80-120 tracks of audio and around 30 VSTis Kontakt strings. Fingers crossed Steinberg capitalises on this, and announces M1 compatibility alongside this months 11.5 release. The laptops are back ordered for a long time so clearly these machines are selling fast. This is truly desktop class performance gone mobile. Once Cubase is M1 native, the mind boggles as to how much more improvement there will be. ![]() I’m already seeing approximately a 20-25 percent cpu performance boost when comparing the audio Performance metres in the same project on both the intel mac pro and the new M1 Pro Max. And the crazy thing is Cubase is not even M1 native yet. M1 Pro Max (you probably don’t need the Max) and Cubase Pro 11 is a powerful match. This machine is very impressive, and a joy to use. Izotope, NI, Output, Shaperbox etc etcīattery life is giving me around 6 hours using cubase pro all guns blazing, which is pretty good. I need to completely repurchase all waves plugins if I want M1 compatibility and I’ve decided I’m not going to go down that rabbit hole with waves again, apart from maybe one plugin. But pretty much everything now runs in Rozetta, other than waves. It took a while to set things up, but only because I had to update all my VSTs and I have a lot. It’s like it’s just sitting there doing nothing, until you realise it is running a big project. Many instances of Soothe 2 (albeit on eco settings) as well as gulfoss etc. Multiple Kontakts, komplete kontrols with Strings like symphobia and other orchestral elements. It is the most bizarre experience having a fully loaded project and not a single fan turning on. I mentioned this in another thread: Preliminary Geekbench numbers - for what they are worth - are looking much better than entry level, and it’s clocking in at 3.2 GHz.Thought some users might be interested in impressions on how the M1 Max Pro is working via rozetta with Cubase 11 Pro. ![]() BUT the raw performance of the M1 is no slouch. Yes, this is preliminary, and of course we have to wait until Steinberg optimizes for Apple Silicon and see it all work in the real world, which could take a while knowing Steinberg. I’d suggest waiting as well of course, but not due to the raw performance potential… the M1 itself is shaping up to be amazing, regardless of performance per watt, it is beating significantly upmarket Intel at much higher wattage, at least based on initial benchmarks. My guess is that we’ll need to wait until the transition has fully completed before we see performance that is good enough, and hopefully the performance will be competitive. You’ll get more out of an intel chip still. They only just started by optimizing for performance per watt, not actual computational performance. The performance of the M1 chip is not there yet. I’d wait before jumping on Apple Silicon in any case. I’m sure you have many vsti that won’t be compatible. You should check with other companies too. Big Sur will only be compatible on intel Macs for now, according to the table. ![]()
