M1 MAX for Music Production Part 2 – opening and bouncing projects



16″ M1 MAX 10-Core, 32-Core GPU Part II – OMG IT’S FAAAAST!

If you want a gazillion benchmarks and excruciating spec detail, go elsewhere. If you want real-world usage for video editing, music production and general usage, keep watching!

This video took 12 minutes and 37 seconds to render and the FCPX library is 104 Gig, I was doing a bunch of other stuff while it was rendering and the fan never came on.
