How much GPU do music producers need?

Hi All,

I would like to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 2018 and am seeking advice.

I'm considering a Macbook Pro, Apple M2 Max with 12‑core CPU, 30‑core GPU and 16‑core Neural Engine.

32GB unified memory

2TB SSD storage

I'm not sure how much GPU would be best to purchase. I produce music, use a lot of plugins, and don't do too much video editing (only very occasional and basic video editing).

Is there anyone who owns one of these machines and can advise on whether the 19-core GPU, 30-core GPU or 38 would be best for someone like myself?

Thank you!

Sara

Music would be CPU, GPU would be graphics.
