npub1c9n9ejerhnsxlfph89wlde87ja8j876m6s6hee8fam59tlxvk5zq0u5q09 (npub1c9n…5q09) M1/M2 do better with less memory than x86 for reasons I’ve not heard a good explanation of, and on my recording studio Mac mini I rarely go above the 8GB usage mark unless I have a bunch of large instruments loaded. I suspect the main reason Macs can get away with it is just that their storage is so ridiculously fast, though, so paging/swapping has much less of a cost than on other systems.
