I’m going to be upgrading from an iPad to a Macbook and was curious if there were any particular models to go with over any other in regards to performance, durability, etc.? I’m going to be running it with a Traktor S2 Mk2 and Traktor Pro 2.
As long as it’s Core i5 or better (and dual core or better), with at least 4 gigs of RAM you’re fine.
An SSD and 8 gigs of RAM would be a worthy investment as well.
Yes anything past 2010 with an i5 will do.
For Traktor I also recommend 8 GB RAM.
An SSD is a bonus if you can afford it, get it.But apart from that all modells work, from the Macbook Air to the Pros. There it all depends how much screen real estate you want. I went with a 15” Pro, as I like my screen to be big and the weight of the 15” is still OK in a Backpack where my controller is the most heavy thing…
I just got my mid 2012 MB Pro. It has an i7 quad core, 16GB and a 256GB SSD. And of course the Retina 15″ screen. It screeches through everything and the display is pleasingly sharp.
You should be fine with performance regardless of the model but avoid the newest ‘Macbook’ or any of the Macbook Airs which only have one USB port. You’ll want at least two USB ports. I got a new Macbook Pro 13″ last year with 512 SSD as I have a lot of music.
I love my 2012 MBP. I upgraded ram and added an ssd from owc. Their upgrade packages are stupid easy. I don’t much care about either retina or large screens which helped keep the price low. I went with the MBP over the air because you can’t upgrade the ram in an air. Sometimes I wish I would have just grabbed an air with 4 gigs of ram but at the time I thought both the hd and the ram were non-upgradable.

As someone with a 13inch MacBook I will definitely throw my 2 pence in a say get a 15inch one instead!! I’ve been regretting it ever since, 🙂 Amazing computers though can’t see myself ever not having one now!
Cheers

If my information is correct, the current models of both MB Pro and Air all come with permanently fixed RAM and SSD memory. I.e. no more user upgrades. Hoping someone can corroborate that news or tell me it’s bogus.

- Mar 09, 2015 Apple has unveiled a new set of Macbooks that are incredibly thin, come in three different metallic colors, but also only sport a single USB-C port that acts as a dual conduit for data and charging. Here's a few reasons why DJs eyeing a Mac should hold out for upgrades to the Macbook Pro line and avoid this flashy line of notebooks altogether.

Apple today announced a new 15″ MacBook Pro. Yes I know they do this every year, but this one is notable for a few reasons, namely it finally kicks optical media and regular hard disks to the kerb, but also for the change in form factor, weight and retina screen. So is this new offering from Apple the ultimate DJ computer? For me – yes.
Let’s have a look at what it has to offer:
Less weight: 5.6lb down to 4.46lb – that’s a fair lump less to lug around. It’s only a little thicker that a MacBook Air as well.
Retina Screen: A full 2880×1800 resolution. In real terms, it means much smoother graphics… well once the software has been updated for it, otherwise it’ll be pixel doubled. It does however give the developers a lot more resolution to play with. And screen elements that had to be a particular size before now have the possibility to be small and still legible. Perhaps this will give scaleable interfaces the kick start they need. I can just imagine the super detailed waveforms now.
No optical drive: No surprise here. I don’t miss it one bit in my MacBook Air. And it’s one less reason to be accosted mid set with someone requesting that you play their CD.
No Hard Drive: Another inevitability. The speed advantages of SSDs are obvious, but the chances are it’s not user-upgradable. Having a little less space but delivered in a much faster way is a tradeoff I can live with, especially in this evolving video DJing age.
More RAM: Up to 16Gb now, and most likely factory fitted. Hola mun 2.
Auto-Tune was supposed to be a behind-the-scenes trick for the recording studio. The New Yorker had compared it to blotting out the red-eye in a photograph, and Hildebrand himself compared it to wearing makeup source: Frere-Jones, NOVA. But now, Hildebrand's brainchild was making Cher sound like. Nov 12, 2012 Just had a Hopper/Single Joey installed this morning. Haven't been able to figure out how to establish an auto tune from the EPG. Only options available are for recording. My old VIP 621 offered the option to automatically tune a program, Hopper doesn't seem to let me do that. Apologize if it has been already discussed. Oct 28, 2017 It worked perfectly on the Hopper 2. It will occasionally process the auto tune event but mostly it will not. If you look at the activity under schedule. What does auto tune on the hopper mean today. Jun 10, 2009 While Auto-Tune is only one out of many commercial pitch correction packages, auto-tune is frequently used in the media as a blanket term to describe any audio processing with a similar effect, perhaps because it was the first product allowing pitch correction in real time. Hope this helps.
I/O: Annoyingly still only 2 x USB ports, but they’re USB3, which in itself offers an alleged 10 times speed difference, simultaneous read/write and much less power consumption. And it also gains 2 x Thunderbolt ports. That said, while they’ll still work, none of your DJ gear has either of these ports just yet, making this perhaps a little too ahead of the game. This move will however make the manufacturers look hard at their offerings with an eye to updates.
HDMI Port: DVI output has gone and has been replaced by HDMI. It’s very handy for instant plugging in to projectors and large screens with just an HDMI cable. And although we still have no confirmation, I cannot help but think that the inclusion is for Apple’s yet to be announced TV offering.
In the name of progress, Ethernet and FireWire has gone the way of the optical drive. From a DJ perspective, the removal of Ethernet is no real loss, but Firewire is likely to be sorely missed by those who love to carry the entire history of music around with them just in case. That said, there’s USB3, and there are easily forgettable Thunderbolt adaptors for these things as well, although it’s an extra cost on top of an already expensive laptop. It also looks as if the audio line in has gone.
Strangely, there is no speed bump. I guess keeping things cool in a small body has proved to be an issue.
It’s also worth pointing out that the 17″ MBP is no more. In my travels through various creative industries, I think I’ve only ever seen 2 of them, which is a clear indicator as to why they’ve been axed. The retina display lets you edit footage in full 1080p with room to spare, so it’s no great loss.
As a former Mac tech bod, the removal of mechanical drives is a god send. These 2 things alone go wrong when you least expect them to so I’m happy to see them gone. No moving parts means less things to go wrong which makes it more reliable. The ultra fast SSD, USB3 and 16Gb RAM makes it faster. The new architecture makes it more luggable. And the retina screen makes it much easier to look at. But you’re going to have to REALLY want one bad.
A fully configured maxed out machine is $3749/£3049 – a serious amount of anyone’s coin, especially as the £1799 entry level machine cannot be upgraded from 256Gb SSD. You’ll need to drop £2299 for 512Gb, and even then the 768Gb is an upgrade, taking it to £2699. There is no cheap route for the best DJ laptop.

If you play out for a living, it’s a hard machine to ignore and quite easy to justify. But if you DJ in your spare time, this is a lot to drop. What do you think? Is this the ultimate future proofed DJ laptop? Is it actually too ahead of its time to be of use now? Or do you prefer to have every base covered in a more cost effective way?
