My 2015 Macbook Pro 15'' starts making trouble and I think about replacing it with the latest 2020 Macbook pro 13'', the one with the 2.0GHz Quadcore i5, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. This model only has 4 Thunderbolt/USB-C ports, no other connection options (except for the headphones jack).
I would have to connect the Axe Fx III used as audio interface, the Steinberg USB eLicenser for Cubase 10.5 Pro, my USB iLok dongle and my MIDI keyboard. There are plenty of USC-A to USB-C hubs on the market. Does anybody have experience with how they work with the Axe? It would not only be for Axe Edit and FractalBot, but to use the Axe as my main audio interface with Cubase. I could imagine putting all four devices on one hub with four USB-A ports, or since I have also seen one-on-one USB-A to USB-C adapters, I could imagine putting the Axe through such an adapter on its own USB-C port and only put the other three on the hub, if that works better.
Any experience somebody could report would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.
