Macbook 2015 12" with Logic Pro

[loby]

I have an Alesis MasterControl and would like to use it with my MacBook 2015 - 1.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core M with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. I would like to use it with Logic Pro and use macOS Sierra.

I know that the MacBook 2015 is VERY underpowered, but can it be used with Logic Pro and not get too overheated and cause slow down etc.?

Just wondering if anyone has use the MacBook 2015 with Logic Pro. I would probably use no more than 8-12 tracks and just light effects.

My Alesis MasterControl is still in great condition, but the drivers seem to die after macOS Sierra, so this is the reason to use the MacBook and give it a try.

I would LOVE to be able to use my MasterControl with the M-Silicone family, but the drivers won't load.

Any thoughts who have used the MacBook 2015 with Logic Pro?

Thanks!

I don't think you'll have issues with it shutting down, but you will likely have plenty of problems with performance in general for that use. The 2015 rMB also has a number of reliability issues with the logic board burning itself out, so pushing it hard like that might not be the best idea for a 2015.

I'd give it a shot with a project, see how well it does or doesn't perform, and judge from there based on your own usage.
