I know this question has been asked a lot but since I will soon buy my first Mac ever I need to ask. I am a music producer and my i7 4790k with 8 gigs of DDR3 slow ram that I have on my PC right now have served me well throught the years and I never made a project that my PC has struggled with. I am really interested in the new M1 MacBook Air but since it's 2021 I got sceptical about it's 8 gigs of ram. After seeing some videos on YouTube I am leaning toward the 8 gigs version... I am here just asking one last time before I buy. Do you guys think I should get the 8 gigs version or 16? Thank you!!
Got a tip for us?

just because ram is your major concern.
and
you cant add more
case in point:
im looking for a motorcycle upgrade
the gas tank size is the most important aspect for me now rather than anything else

8Gb would be fine for you unless you HAVE to have 16GB of ram. Daily tasks would handle well with 8GB
