Hey guys,

Check it out!

I have always liked dabbling and making music with the Apple Garageband app. Before I have this Macbook pro M1 pro, I played around with the iPad version. What's the difference? For the iPad, it's more on the touchscreen interface.

You can strum a virtual guitar on the iPad, but you can't on a laptop, obviously. At first, I thought the UI aka user interface would be the same. So, I was wondering where all the musical instruments are? After a while, I got used to it.

I do remember playing with the Mac Garageband version on a Macbook Gold in 2016. You can watch the video here. Looking back at the video, it certainly is much different now. Though, I'm still a little confused about how to use it.

It kinda overwhelms me with all the things I can or should do to create my own music. I find it a little weird that I have to download sample music. Aren't they all supposed to be already available and able to use once I opened it?

Anyway, while using Garageband, everything runs pretty smoothly. There weren't any hiccups or slow-down. I do feel a little cramp. If you have a bigger external monitor, that would help. I saw a music pro friend on FB showed his setup and he likes using the ultra-wide curved monitor. 

I'm thinking of getting one. Not for the Macbook but for my main gaming Pc setup. Currently, I'm using the 24-inch HDMI monitor by Asus. Had it for years and it's still working great. My nephew still waiting for me to give it to him. If ever, I'm getting a new monitor. Lol.

If you didn't know yet, the latest Apple Macbook pro m2 pro or max 2 was just announced this week. Yes, if I had waited a little while, I could have got it instead of the M1 pro. But, looking at the price, I think, the M1 pro is just right for me now. 

Obviously, that extra percentage gain would be useful for my photography and video editing. That's why I've gone for the 16GB ram. I would prefer a 16-inch screen but, it's a little way over my budget. The current MacBook pro m1 pro is still more than enough for me.

You don't really have to get the latest, fastest, and most expensive Macbook. Really depends on what you're using it for. When I got the Macbook Gold in 2016, I really love it. It's not a pro but for normal usage, it was really fun and interesting. That was my first Mac!

My nephew loves it too. I did have a little problem with the monitor screen and luckily, it was still under guarantee. I went to a third-party repair shop and they did a good job of replacing it. Later on, I decided to sell it. My nephew asked me why I sold it as he likes using it every time he came over.

Well, over 8 years later, now I got myself a Macbook pro. Though, this time, I'll be using it for a long while yet.
