I’ve experienced a fair degree of success with a similarly focused configuration on my iPad Air, therefore I want to apply the same principle to this Mac mini, given its intended new role. Nothing else no email, no calendar, no writing apps – nowt. Once I have a freshly installed OS on that machine, I’m only going to add the stuff I need to make music, edit podcasts, and work on my audio-related projects. And if it all goes you-know-what-up, it’ll at least give me something to write about. Which, I’ll admit, fills me with dread – I’ve heard a few horror stories of Apple’s latest OS when it comes to production work, which is why I’ve thus far avoided upgrading to it on my 16-inch MacBook Pro.Īlas, this music studio won’t be production critical (to begin with) therefore I’m willing to take a chance.
That’ll start with a complete wipe of its SSD and a fresh install of macOS Ventura.
So, over the Christmas period, I’ll be resurrecting the M1 Mac mini. It’s a sorry sight and one I’m immensely embarrassed about. Oh, and there are one or two pairs of headphones, too (obviously). In fact, the computer with which I built this business is joined by a whole host of abandoned tech including a 34” ultra-wide monitor, iFi Audio ZEN DAC, a couple of magnetic iPad stands, and a bunch of portable charging power banks. If there’s one device in my studio that I’ve been feeling really sorry for over the last few months, it’s the M1 Mac mini.Īt the moment, it’s sitting on a hastily cobbled-together IKEA desk.
