I thought Apple's Pro App team was working with John Powell to create something that was truly great. Based on the results of this machine, he probably said "Remember the cheesegrater? Just give it Thunderbolt and make it as powerful as it would have been if you hadn't abandoned it." I was really expecting something special, like ~0 latency, ~0 buffer size, and touch-editing via iPad. All of the major innovations went to the video side of things. Here's what the audio Pro App people said:
Avid
“Avid’s Pro Tools team is blown away by the unprecedented processing power of the new Mac Pro, and thanks to its internal expansion capabilities, up to six Pro Tools HDX cards can be installed within the system – a first for Avid’s flagship audio workstation. We’re now able to deliver never-before-seen performance and capabilities for audio production in a single system and deliver a platform that professional users in music and post have been eagerly awaiting.” — Francois Quereuil, director of Product Management, Avid
Universal Audio
“The new Mac Pro is a breakthrough in recording and mixing performance. Thunderbolt 3 and the numerous PCIe slots for installing UAD plug-in co-processors pair perfectly with our Apollo X series of audio interfaces. Combined with the sheer processing power of the Mac Pro, our most demanding users will be able to track and mix the largest sessions effortlessly.” – Bill Putnam Jr., CEO, Universal Audio
