Producing on a laptop

I'm still really interested in producing, but I just want to know whether a Macbook Pro will be sufficient enough for producing Trance on?
I'd prefer going down this route as it saves me having to buy separate parts to put together my own computer. |

Most certainly. A MBP is more than enough to produce on, and you'll find that many people on here had to cut their teeth on far less.
Just get logic, a decent midi controller and some headphones/monitor speakers and away you go.
Over time time, you'll probably want to get an audio interface, room treatment, etc, but for right now, you can start with a pretty simple setup. |

please tell me you're not about to buy that? You can pick that up here for less then $1k now.
If that's what you paid a few years back, then OK. |

Brand new? I can't find the same one with the same specs for cheaper. |

The hard drive model is nice because it can be had for cheap. Regardless if you get the hard drive model or Retina though you will be somewhat limited CPU wise with the 13" model. I have the 13" one and its not that bad but you do have to be especially careful with CPU intensive plugins. If you are going to have a high number of tracks you want to use CPU light plugins like Hive/Sylenth or bounce your tracks when you are done with them.
Just something to keep in mind before you buy. |
