I was able to find solutions for all of my technical issues with the help of forums and brand communities, by contacting manufacturers and developers directly and even a bit of trial and error. And for the past week, there have not been any more hiccups due to CPU spikes or lessened performance due to a lack of native compatibility.

I wouldn’t put it further away as I have to push the power button at least once a day. The little box now sits in front of me right behind the MIDI controllers I use to control my DAW and my audio plug-ins.

Otherwise, I would have had to download, install and authorize every single plug-in. Luckily, I did not have to completely re-install everything (to this day). Migrating to the new mac from my old iMac 5K (32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD) went smoothly and without any problems. As I wrote in the initial report on the new Mac Studio with M1 Max, 64 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD, I now work exclusively with the new machine in my studio.
