(we are still in the set-up/testing stage)Īnd the client asks 'do you have the new Mac pro and you areĪble to say yes and what day and time do you want to come in. So we just grabbed one last week with two 4k monis to come. Right or wrong, the Mac name sells itself. One cannot discount the value of ‘marketing’. However if you are running a recording studio for a living, I totally agree with your very informative post. External drives aren’t exactly whisper-quiet, just think of all the additional fans you’re bringing in your studio… Oh, and if one day you decide you want to do some serious video editing, all you need is to buy a pro-level video card, like what you find in the MacPro (only way less expensive…) Like I said, flexibility is the key… You’re paying a lot of money for a beefy video card (which you don’t need) and zero space for additional internal storage (which every DAW machine needs.) If you consider the amount of computing power you can buy with a Windows machine (actually you can buy two or more for that kind of price…) and the complete flexibility regarding storage, video card (or lack thereof, since the newer Intel graphics are more than adequate for DAW work), etc., I think switching to Windows would STILL make a lot of sense.Ĭonsider that for the same price of a new MacPro you can buy an entire VEP network, with a master and two slaves, at least nine internal drives and cases that very successfully reduce fan noise (like the Anthem Sonata III.) You can’t get any of that with an Apple machine. The new MacPro is definitely not a machine designed for music.
