How can I trial my workflow with Apple Stores closed and limited ability to use any M1 Macs even in store.? Are there any glaring compatibility issues? Would an M1 Mac be comfortable with recording/projects at 96khz? How loud is the fan? Is it distracting for recording? (I have to pause at times with my MacBook Pro)

Can an M1 Mac cope with running a 4k screen and Logic Pro AND recording? (This combo kills my MacBook Pro 13 inch) How fast is the M1 at bouncing tracks - would it make freezing and unfreezing tracks fairly often a less arduous ordeal? (Usually this would be a productivity killer on my current Mac) can it do sub-128 with ~70 tracks? (I wanna record on a project with say ~70-ish tracks with low latency and not have to freeze it- demanding I know!) How low can the the I/O buffer be lowered and still record using a mic i.e. My decision would be on the basis of the following: As such I'm considering one of the new M1 devices with an upgraded 16 GB RAM in the meantime.

However, I really would like to be able to upgrade my system for music production ASAP, and still maintain the goal of eventually getting the 16 inch Apple Silicon MacBook Pro. I have long wanted to upgrade with my sights set on a 16-inch MacBook Pro specced out but what with the change to Apple Silicon, the lack of a recently upgraded MacBook Pro processor (yes I'm being snooty about the 2019 one, it's a lot of money and even this site advises not to buy) and seemingly overheating/fan issues I see a lot of people talking about with that Mac, I've held off waiting for an Apple Silicon 16 inch MacBook Pro. My music isn't anything crazy like a film score usually 3-5 mins.
My interface is an Apogee Element 24 - fairly good with low latency recording but I prefer to go directly through Logic's input monitoring if possible. I mostly use software instruments and stock plugins though I'm now using a few third-party ones which seem to really drain the CPU. I love my Mac, however it's becoming very slow for using Logic with - it can handle ~70 tracks but then I often get the overload notice which is super annoying and I've had to reduce the sample rate to 44.1khz and ideally for using samples etc. I'm a hobbiest music producer using logic on my MacBook Pro 13-inch retina dual core 2.4ghz (late 2013) with 8GB RAM. Logic Pro is my primary reason for owning a Mac. I'm considering purchasing an M1 either Mac mini or MacBook Pro 13 inch as an interim solution and I thought I'd seek some viewpoints/knowledge/advice about what to do.
