Ok so I wanna get a new MacBook ( well not a brand new one) but in the requirements it says AMD and Nvidia 9 and up.
Will a Mac with a Radeon R9 work for the stems side??

Radeon IS AMD... :P
What year is the MacBook you're looking at ?
If it's anything from the last 3-4 years with AMD Radeon it should be able to work fine with mathEngine set to GPU instead of CPU

I found it on eBay and I can’t find a year anywhere but here’s the specs
Does it look like it’ll work on GPU with stems?
And Thanks for the info

It should indeed work, but if you would be fine with 13" and want to be future proof I'd get a M1 MacBook air

Adion?
I guess my next concern is heat?
How do you think it’ll handle that??
I know I’m a pain in the ass but you have the answers I need lol!
Thanks for the time and info, is most appreciated 🙏🏾

I have almost the same one, but the Air so without fans and that one stays pretty cool, so don't think heat should be any concern.

They look great machines but I just can't stand MacOS.
At least my Intel 16" supports Bootcamp

I understand what you mean Keith, took me a while to get used to it but now I don’t think I could go back to a windows based machine lol!

I have that exact model Huey and it’s fast as you like with VDJ.
No issues so far. Pioneer also added support yesterday too, can’t remember what gear you’re using.

That’s great news Dan!!
I’m using a Pioneer DJM-850 with a set of the Denon 5000’s.
I don’t believe Engine Prime is supported yet and I think SoundSwitch is almost there.
With both those I can just use another machine if I have too 🤙🏾

Adion, any plans to get syphon working in the near future tho??
Posté Tue 23 Feb 21 @ 12:57 pm

I don't know if syphon is compatible with Metal yet.
Note that you can right-click VirtualDJ, choose Get Info and select 'Run with Rosetta' to run the x64 version of VirtualDJ on the M1. Then you can still use OpenGL and OpenGL plugins like syphon.
It will be about 20% slower than running the native ARM version of VirtualDJ though (but switching between the 2 is as easy as just changing the switch in Get Info and restarting)

Hi ,
I see you guys are running macbook air with stems and video. How good is it ? I'm thinking of make a change but i hear i need a dedicated video card for video with all the software upgrades. But if a M1 macbook air is handling this very i might buy the mac instead of a loaded gaming pc. I been using mac for about 7 years. I would hate to change to pc but those macs with dedicated graphic cards are expensive unless you buy used. Let me know how you guys make out.
Thanks
Dave
