1000 instrument tracks and 1000 audio tracks AND 1000 Aux tracks

1000 instrument tracks and 1000 audio tracks AND 1000 Aux tracks
Disabled instrument tracks in cubase work a treat for this. Aside from the slow saving (which really only effects when you get up over 800+ tracks) its an awesome/powerful way of working. No wait for samples to load aside from those which are being used. On fast drives, this means opening most projects in 30 seconds for me - even very big cues.Extremely impressed by this machine. 1.5TB RAM is amazing. Unfortunately though, that doesn't solve one of our main problems which is having to wait for all those samples to load. I think I'd still rather have a dedicated sample slave that never shuts down.
Hmmm...or maybe buy 2!?

Don't worry, me too. Whilst everyone else saves for a MacPro, we'll gaze at our fuzzy, non retina screens (whilst freezing tracks) for the rest of eternity.I'm still using an iMac from 2011. God help me.

Considering how bad Logic's multicore support is, and the fact that this processor likely isn't capable of high boost speeds, is this really going to be ideal for audio unless you're 100% samples with few synths/FX? I'd think one of Intel's 18-core monsters in the 9xxx family would be a lot better with speeds likely ~1.5 to 2ghz higher than this.

Yeah unless Logic addresses that with the new update this is a tiny upgrade in clock speed for us. Single core spikes from intense libraries, synths, or big effect chains when playing with a low buffer have always been the bottleneck. There are enough workarounds with raising the buffer, or freezing tracks to deal with playback of large sessions but this does nothing to help real time recording at low latency. Pretty massive fail for Logic users imo.
This is not a Mac issue. It’s a computer issue. It happens on Win PCs too. It’s a hardware-level comm limitation. That is why I love ASIO guard on Cubase. I can have any unarmed track running at stupid-high latencies while playing the armed one at stupid-low latencies.

Perhaps wait and and see before declaring it a 'massive fail'.
One of the things they seemed to brag about in that demo was massive number of Logic tracks and the CPU hit.
