So I purchased a Razor Core case with a Sapphire rx570 8gb card. Seems it is Ableton Mac issue, Reaper seems to be fine without the egpu. This was about £400 more expense than I had planned, with just the Mac Mini. This way however I’m modular so my eggs aren’t all in one basket so to speak. In total this comes to about £400 cheaper than the iMac I would of needed to buy to have similar performance. So I fixed the issue with buying an external egpu.
Ok well I’m all fixed, but in hindsight, I’d probably build a windows system if I didn’t have so many Apple products. I can use the Mac Mini, but I haven’t had any performance boost from upgrading, and my iMac 2011 still gets things done faster.
Some things are ok, may be it’s two problems, because I get pops and clicks mainly with The native wavetable synth in live.Īnyway there is some debate here if anybody is interested. I reduced the size of my Ableton window, and the issue was gone. There are even third party shield kits to fix the issue.Īs for the CPU, there are threads about it being graphics related on some Mac forums, so I did what was advised to test. If I u plug any powered device from there, my Bluetooth immediately starts working. If I place my hand over the top left corner of the Mac Mini Bluetooth stops completely. I can just about get away with plugging in a mouse and an ssd to make the magic pad work, but it won’t connect to my Bose speaker 3 meters away. Plug in two powered devices into your 3.1 ports and see how your track pad jitters. The Bluetooth issue is well documented, as I understand it, it’s been an issue for a while. If you could return the Mac mini you could build a matx hackintosh with propper thermal would probably end up being cheaper too To see the real cpu use get a proper cpu monitor, I guess OSX has its own one. The integrated graphics should not be a problem, in fact they tend to work better that discrete gpus the gpu in my i7 only uses 8% or so with push 2, but I added a gt1030.Īnd Ableton when shows 40% cup means one core is already at 40% but you may still be able to add more stuff. This 20€ cpu cooler is the one I use, my matx case has a big front 180mm fan, never had a problem and as I say it is running 24/7 at 4.4Ghz Nothing expenssive, but those are ver bulky. My computer is 7 years old but the i7 is OC an running at 4.4Ghz 24/7, never had an issue.įor music production, specially when using high cup demanding plugins, you need a powerful CPU that can keep that power for long periods and that can only be attained with big boxes and custom cpu coolers. Cpubenchmark changed the way they review cpus, according to them is more poerwfull than the i7 3770k I still own.but for how long? In small systems termal throttling is an issue. Well, the procesdor seems to be a 6core i5 8500b, which should not fare bad.
