Depends what your needs are.
Provide some info on what you want to do and what interface you have and you’ll probably get some good responses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Or iMac Pro maybe. Spec one out to about 10 grand, and I'd imagine that'd be the 'best' right now.

hearing is believing. once that imacpro has been stressed +50% cpu for some time, the wind tunnel effect either makes or breaks the deal

Re: Which Mac is currently best for Pro Tools?
Thanks. I compared the single core speed of all the CPUs and I think I'm going to make my own PC using a Intel Core i9-9900K @ 3.60GHz processor for $500+. No Macs come close and charge $1000s more. I had my heart on a MAC, but the price and slower CPUs made me want to stick with the PC for now.

Re: Which Mac is currently best for Pro Tools?
Why are you comparing single-core performance? PT clearly benefits from multi-core
