Moving over to entirely Mac based playing

Shelders

Hi all

Sure this has been asked before a million times so I apologise on advance. Currently running a Pod Go for amp sim and using an ancient laptop to utilise for YouTube backing tracks etc. There's a 8gb Mac Mini on the classifieds I'm tempted to get and utilise an amp sim on and then have option to do some light recording if necessary. Would a newish 8gb Mac mini cope with that fairly comfortably? 

Currently I'm literally using one amp sim on the Pod and seems bit overkill when I could sell it off an upgrade my computer hardware and use that for playing as well.

Any and all opinions welcome!

I have a 8gb M2 Mac Mini and it can do that through garage band no problem.

You’ll have no problems. Theyre really good machines for the money.

What they said. Of course, you will need an audio interface. But even the modest Zoom U22-U44 series are plenty quick enough on MacOS.

Loads of good free software out for recording guitars, plus DAWs and plugins as well.
