So more or less just like FL Studio then (except for the lifetime free upgrade)

Not a bad deal that

Bingo

Yup, SSD makes a huge difference in loading times. Recommended upgrade (if at all possible, of course).

Warranty might be void if opening the box, but it should be doable:

Just get more RAM, a MacMini can run Logic and Alchemy fine.

If it's a newer Mac Mini... the RAM is soldered to the motherboard (thus no adding RAM).
Same with the new MacBook Pros

There's no upgrading the RAM.

Sometimes i really think you have to be a masochist to use Apple products. No offense intended, but stuff like that, or paying 100 € for a 32 GB increase of the internal memory of a iPhone (which costs them peanuts) feels like

Thanks Jim, I didn't know that.

Well I'm most likely gonna save up to a better Mac, was just curious if it would run at all on a Mac Mini. Thanks for all your inputs. Please keep on though since I really need to learn a lot as it seams.

NEVER say things like that, you are sending out very misleading information and setting the OP back a decade.

The question was not what is a good/best spec, but will it run on my current Mac. I can unequivocally say that yes, it will.

Besides, I will say whatever the f*ck I want, thank you.

I've been running X on a 4Gb Mini for years now and it's still running just fine. I also don't run big sample banks and I've never even made it have a sniff of running out of power or memory.

Obviously 8Gb is better, but if 4Gb is all you can afford, go for it.

iFixit is also good for anything from a newer iMac to an older Mac Mini -- and everything in between. If the warranty period is over, or not of any particular concern, anything from RAM to CPU to SSDs to GPUs can be refreshed.

It's sort of the layperson's version of building your own hackintosh. However, if you have the time & the wherewithal, I'd actually consider going this latter route. Not only is Mac's terminal quite similar to Linux, you'll learn a ton in the process.

However, this route too has its own precautions: updating and/or upgrading can be a quite onerous process, but if you build what you need and it's of high quality, today, you'll be quite happy for quite some time.

Then you can embark on building top rate Linux Machines, something I'd love to get into in the spare time I do not have.

Awesome! Or, not. There are some people that can run an apple II as well, has NOTHING to do with current situations for 99.9% of people

99.9% of people should have no problem running Logic X in a Mac Mini - I too have done so for years, although mine has 8GB RAM (and I do use some sample libs).

Logic Pro on Mac Mini 4GB?
