It’s essentially fully-customizable to suit each music producer’s personal needs. It’s great because you can save a lot of cash by going barebones and adding these “extensions” to your computer at your own pace. Strange analogy, I know… But this thing really feels like a beast! It hosts all of my software, but I use external storage for everything that involves sample libraries, project files, etc… The Mac Mini is like the brain and each external component acts as an additional limb. I see the Mac Mini as a really powerful system that powers the rest of my rig. For example: external graphics unit processors (eGPUs), external SSD storage, DSP-powered audio interfaces and more!
This new technology essentially opens up the door to a multitude of future upgrades. However, it’s the Thunderbolt ports that really allow us to tap into this Mac Mini’s true potential. It’s somewhat of a hybrid between a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro.
