Have you pushed it much? I’m just concerned with summer months and the CPU gasping for air in such a small case. But, these days that’s an unusual requirement in an audio workstation. If you want PCIe in the same box as your cpu, then obviously it’s not the right solution. But now that I have it, my MacPro isn’t getting much use for audio. I also had a hard time perceiving the macmini as a serious audio workstation. I don’t think the current powerful Mac Mini’s will remain a longterm fixture, sadly. I think i’ll get the top Mac Mini and a decent Windows machine for me in the future now so i can keep one eye on the Mac market… The only ray of light is the Mac Mini range.īut, as history shows us, they can go missing very quickly if it affects sales of iMac/Pros etc.

The question became $10k for two Mac Pro ‘base’ machines, or try windows route.
I was holding on for the new Mac Pro’s… But man, I can’t warrant two of those to replace my 2009/2012 Mac Pros… I never upgraded to the trashcans due to their poor reputation, so got myself cornered from a business viewpoint.

Yeah the Mac Mini’s are great, but as a long term Mac Pro user i find it very hard to get my head around moving to a small box with limited expand-ability, plus i have PCIe requirements in the short term that i haven’t moved away from… Hence the Windows route. Skijumptoes is right that Apple doesn’t value audio pros as much as they used to, but the 2018 MacMini 6-core is a pretty good bang for your buck. Yeah that’s all great until a mac updates. As a longterm Mac Pro user, it’s not for me, so i’m jumping to Windows.

You’re showing some ignorance here i’m afraid, look how Audio drivers run on mac vs windows CoreAudio sits at the heart of the OS, it’s built-in native aggregate audio device support, availability and support of Mac Pro range of high end stable machines for pros, and historically hasn’t required the additional overheards of a Windows system for anti-virus/malware scans - from an OS level it’s got clear advantages vs Windows, in regards to Hardware you could buy an off-the-shelf machine which comes with pro support.īut things are changing, Apple don’t seem to value it’s audio users any more and want to push the oldschool Mac Pro Audio users into the Mac Mini’s. The PC’s I’ve built, have never failed me. They are user-experience devices for Grandmas to play card games and type in text editor.

How macs became a norm in the professional world baffles me and is a travesty. The story shows: “Truth” is what you claim in a meeting where none of the other attendants can directly disprove… o) I of course clarified that I had been just kidding. Once in a meeting I stated the following joke (with a very serious expression on my face): “There are tons of report in IT-media that document that the connectors from apple are not exactly fitting into the plugs of other brands because of wrong measures. Our CEO was all against Apple - just because he was afraid that adding another brand would complicate IT support (which it did, but this is a different story). Typical case of vendor-lock-in.Īnd here’s an anecdote from my former company:
Apple always did a great job in undermining compatiblity/interfacing with the rest of the industry. The adapters are stylish but you need tons of them. Especially when I found out that you need an extra rucksack to carry all adapters to connect to the rest of the world with you. I never understood the MAC-Hype and I still dont get the Apple-Hype.
