Hello together,

I am planning a new Mac Book Pro 16 inch for use for Logic Pro. I am not sure how much Ram I need to run the program properly.
I will configure the computer with at least 32 Gb of Ram, but i am openminded for 64 or 96 Gb as well. Do you have suggestions ?
Thank you very much !

Best regards,
Schnitzel

You can run Logic Pro on as little as 8GB of RAM comfortably, depending on what quality video you are importing into the program. For example, on my old M1 MBP with 8GB RAM, I usualy had no issues working with 1080p video or 1 4K source, but the system would start to bog down once I added multiple 4K sources to the workflow. Unless you're planning to work with a lot of 6K or 8K video sources, 32GB would likely be more than enough for your usage.
