FWIW, the Terminal method did not work for me – the download crapped out with some error message that I unfortunately don't recall.

#GET HIDPI SWITCHRESX HOW TO#

So off to Google I went, and discovered that this is a known issue – Apple has instructions here for how to successfully reinstall the OS, either using another Mac and Apple Configurator 2, a bootable installer, or the Terminal (in recovery mode). Okay, thought I, I'll give it another whirl. After about 5-10 minutes, it came back with an error message saying that it couldn't "personalize" Big Sur, and to please try again. Then went to the reinstall Big Sur option, and off it went on its merry way. So, as one does, I booted into the recovery partition*, killed the Data volume, and erased the main volume.

After it was done, I noticed some general flakiness so I decided that I'd just wipe it and start fresh, especially since this install has got to be a decade old, if not more – I've just kept moving it from machine to machine as I've upgraded. So when I originally setup my new Mac mini (super short review: love it), I decided to use Migration Assistant to pull over my existing install from my 13" MBP.

For the bottom end machine, this is incredible, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the higher end machines can do. So overall, given the advantages of much better single thread perf but disadvantaged by a smaller number of cores, my M1 Mini still outpaces my MPB by a solid margin, and with an utterly silky UI to boot. That 3-4x improvement is pretty consistent across all the synths and effects I tested too, the only outlier is Alchemy, which doesn't seem to run so great on the M1. SpaceDesigner is a convolution reverb soI'm guessing that's going to be hitting vector units harder than the other synths and effects, which makes it's 3x improvement on the M1 really encouraging for people who were worried that the M1 might not stack up for heavy numeric workloads.

Given that the M1 is only using 4 cores vs 12 in the MBP, but with 3-4x the performance, it makes sense that the offline bounce time comes in around the same, but it's nice to see a small improvement regardless, and again the UI was buttery while it was bouncing, unlike on the MBP. I wonder why the efficiency cores aren't used, if it's to keep them free for UI updates? This would explain why the UI feels utterly buttery even with the 20 track monster, where my MBP was starting to feel really sluggish. For starters, looking at core usage, the Mini only seems to use 4 cores for realtime audio, I'm assuming that's just the performance cores. There's some interesting and encouraging stuff going on here.

I made sure no other apps were running on either machine, same version of OSX etc. I just got a 16/512gb Mini yesterday and gave it some not massively thorough benchmarking in Logic Pro, versus my 2018 15" MBP (2.6ghz 6 core/12 threads).
