Seeking Advice on Which MacBook to Buy for Sound Editing

Hey all, I'm up to get a new computer this fall under a program for assistive device coverage. I currently own a mac mini, but was thinking of switching over to a MacBook because of my increased interest and time spent recording audio podcasts. I was just wondering if anyone on here has some advice on what models I should look at or stay away from to ensure I'm getting something that meets my needs. I've read that the new MacBooks with touch bar have terrible battery life and that GarageBand in particular is very difficult/impossible to use with the touch bar.

What are your opinions if I'm looking to get a MacBook and what should I keep an eye on? I'm also starting to learn Amadeus Pro, so any feedback on how that works with the touch bar would help too. Even any comparisons between using a normal mac mini and a MacBook would be useful. Thanks in advance!
