No doubt someone simply doing a simple stereo solo instrumental guitar production, or even a stereo guitar and a vocal,
or even with a few over dubs, is not likely to use even 16 GB of Ram ............... BUT
The reality is that here on little old AGF, we have such a wide variation of usage situations , that the notion of "one size fits all" is non existent.
As noted multi-cam video will eat up huge chunks of RAM, and multi VI instruments will eat up large amounts also.
Even my own audio productions with say two mono acoustic guitar rhythm tracks and a Bus , four mono acoustic lead and riff tracks and a Bus , 4 Electric guitar and riff tracks two with 4 playlist version each and a Bus , two other VI tracks and Bus with 4 playlists versions, 8 mono VI drum kit tracks and Bus , a mono lead vocal track with 4 playlists, and a Bus , 4 mono background vocal track with 4 playlist each and a Bus.
All playing back simultaneously is going to push 16 gigs if I have it all loaded in RAM Even with my 24 GB RAM if I have significant editing going on there can be hundreds of edits and I have to purge them, or I get audio playback overload errors.
That said: I would probably opt for 48 GB
