Hi
What would work better for audio production?
15" MacBook Pro
2.6GHz Quad-core i7 Ivy Bridge
8GB RAM (upgraded to OWC 16GB RAM)
128GB SSD (Apple upgrade) - for OS and programs
Hi-Res Antiglare (Apple upgrade)
OWC Data Doubler
750GB Scorpio Black 2.5" SATA 3GB/s 7,200 16MB Cache Hard Drive - for sample libraries and audio recordings
AU$3,200
OR
15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display
2.6GHz Quad-core i7 Ivy Bridge
16GB RAM (inbuilt)
512GB Flash Storage (inbuilt)
AU$3,439
My main concern with the Macbook Pro with Retina Display is having my operating system/programs and samples/audio recordings on one drive.
Typically my projects comprise of 20 MIDI tracks, 20 audio tracks, 10 VST instruments and 10 group tracks. Each track can have up to 3 VST effects. I also use a lot of sample libraries.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
