I'll try comparing the performance of a large sample lib load and post the differences between the 3 drives (X5 vs. P3 plus vs. Blackmagic SATA).

The reason I think it's the drive and not the machine is because the speeds just drop when I transfer large files. I saw the transfer rate go down drastically, which hints at a cache issue. Contrast this with my Samsung X5 SSD where the load times are really fast. My Omnisphere is off this...

I have a Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB SSD + Acacias TB3 (?) enclosure plugged into my Mac mini 2018. I honestly don't think it's great. I still see the loading window for many sample library loads in Kontakt. I think this may be because these drives are good at sequential reads/writes but not random...

Anyone? Surely there's gotta be someone who uses the multidock? I've emailed support and gotten no response yet.

I love my black magic dock. But it has 3 SSDs currently. I'd like to add a 5TB HDD for backup and I got a 2.5" but it doesn't fit (it's too thick!). Can someone suggest a 2.5" HDD that's compatible with the multidock and can be used for backups?

I'm setting up my new Mac mini the same way I used my PC. Samples in one drive, projects in another. Apps on the internal drive. Now, how do I configure my backup? I used to use macrium resolve (which is PC only unfortunately), to backup to a NAS. Any good alternatives on the Mac?

But the limitation still is on the SATA interface of the SSD, isn't it? I thought only NVMe drives are capable of that insane 2Gb/sec read/write speeds.

I bit the bullet and bought the multidock 3 used. Then, of course this happens: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicmultidock Sigh.. Anyways, it works well. Omnisphere is blazing fast on an 840 EVO SSD. Instant-load. Honestly I don't know if the 10G would even matter.. I was...

Kontakt aside, is there any advantage for project audio, say for Cubase?

Same here. #2 & #4 are what I care about the most. Another thing to keep in mind - EW Play can utilize SSDs well. If there's not a whole lot of benefit for #2 and #4 I might stick with a $20 enclosure for my sata ssd.

Hi All, Has anyone run any benchmarks on performance between NVMe SSD vs SATA for audio? Is it overkill for us? Does it give any measurable advantage or shall we stick with SATA SSDs?

Have you tried the latest Cubase on a Mac? I thought "Cubase better on a PC" has been ironed out by now. What about Cubase runs worse on a Mac?

Oops..right you are. Just to be clear, the benchmark being run is "NewLogicBenchmarkTest", yes?

..Duh never mind. Chris Hurst and Iron - you're both running the NewLogicBenchmarkTest project right? My 2016 2.7GHz i7 MBP gets 15 tracks at 96K/128 buffer before overload. The project comes up at 96K in AudioMidiSetup. If I try to set it to 44.1K it doesn't let me. Only when I close Logic...

I’m trying to decide between Mac mini and base Mac Pro..looks like mini should do the job but the pro can be quieter..decisions

When you said crashing at 93, did logic crash? How come?

Thanks! Are these 400 audio files or 1 file in 400 tracks?

Are you seeing any difference between external SSD vs internal SSD? How many audio tracks can you stream off the external disk?

Well it is a bit surprising that the cMP beats it. But st the least it can hang with the MBP so that’s a relief. Been worried reading reports of it stuttering with stereo channel playback. Can you list what display you use (hdmi/tb/resolution). What other peripherals are connected?

Also please post your Mac Mini configuration when you post the benchmark. I'd like to see when does thermal throttling kick in (how many minutes in, what temperature?), when you run the benchmark.

THIS. is what I've been waiting for. Thank you sir! That '10 Mac Pro 12 core though, oof. :-O What's the test duration? Was it over a minute? Asking for thermal throttling concerns. Did you monitor the temp by any chance?

Link to that ram please? Is it as fast as apple’s ram?

Has anyone tried this on an i7 Mac mini? https://www.gearslutz.com/board/apple-logic-pro/1228406-anyone-interested-my-new-benchmark-replace-dated-evans-test.html#post13485908 Curious to see how this stacks against the Mac Pro and iMac 5k.

Can you use these for the new Mac mini?

This is for the i3 or the i7? It sounds more like the i3.

For external ssd what is the fastest setup for the newer Mac mini? Is it an NVMe with a thunderbolt enclosure? Or regular 2.5” ssd with thunderbolt enclosure?

I’m considering purchasing a multi dock for the new Mac mini. For 2 drives, does it hold any advantage over buying 2 external ssd enclosures like this one? Plan is to have one for audio, one for samples. Potentially a third for videos or omnisphere.

I'm having a tough time with the following scenario. So recently I upgraded my main DAW with 2 SSDs and I tried a few play v5 libraries in them. They're freaking fast. No contest. My slave is now a dinosaur. BUT all my VE Pro projects reference v4 on my slave. It says "missing plugin" in my...

Oops you're right. I might give EW CC another shot after hearing the glowing reviews.

Well, their diamond stuff is no more available and I feel I'm missing out with Gold. The other day I used 8dio's adagietto and was stunned by how easy it was. I got soaring legatos without much effort - just the velocity and expression was enough. My biggest gripe with EW is they require you...

Some good suggestions here - keep 'em coming. EW doesn't offer platinum for CC anymore, afaik. I'm tempted to go with 8dio just because they are so playable and run on Kontakt. I haven't tried an EW platinum library yet. Apart from mic positions do you get anything else?

Ok, so I've been a CC member for 3 years and I've just cancelled my yearly plan. A). East West wants you to buy separate licenses for each slave machine. B). Their player is outdated and the instruments use 90s naming convention (NV VB VB anyone?). C). It's difficult to get the most out of...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here! I had a few questions on film scoring so figured I'd post here. What is your workflow for when you get revised cuts where the lengths for the cues have changed? I'm a Cubase user and I find changing the tempo (to fit the new cue) a huge mess. I figured there's gotta...
