Hello friends,
I need to replace my 10 year old Pro Tools PC (failed motherboard). Since I have gained an interest in sample-based orchestral composition, I am considering either a 10 core iMac Pro, or a 12-core HP Z4 G4 (i9-9920X). Either would include 128GB RAM, and an equivalent compliment of drives. Since I have only used Pro Tools up to this point, and expect to learn either Cubase or Logic going forward, I think I am platform agnostic.
To first order, the Apple solution (with required TB drive docks and PCIe card cage) and the HP solution are about the same money. I am interested in understanding if the Vi-Control community is strongly supportive of one of these platforms versus the other based on performance.
I won’t be surprised if responses are overwhelmingly PC. Nonetheless, I would be very interested to hear from any iMac Pro users out there.
Thanks in advance for any input,
db
