Re: Which CPU / computer for protools 2018
Thank you !
(iMac pros are not on my wish list because of their price.) I understand that you say i’d Better go for Mac Pro 2013. I must hope that it’ll work well during 5, 6 or 7 years ;-) |

Realistically there's no need to be on the bleeding edge of technology. Think more along the lines of stability and not future-proofing. There are plenty of people using 5,1 MacPro cheesegraters to make music for the masses. |

Re: Which CPU / computer for protools 2018
Thank you very much
Your pragmatism is caring One can read here and there that a new 2018 mac Pro is about to be released on dec 2018. I suppose that the actual 2013 Mac pro value will tremendously decrease... more than a i7 7700 iMac will. Right or wrong ? Last edited by boitason; 03-31-2018 at 01:38 AM. |

Re: Which CPU / computer for protools 2018
I would think so. I have to ask - what's a 7700 iMac? Not heard that term.

An iMac i7 7700 is a 21.5" 2017 iMac.
An iMac i7 7700K is a 27" 2017 iMac. Some have reported a noise issue on the 7700K because of the fans trying to cool the i7 7700K CPU that is known to heat a lot. |

Thanks but like I said I've never heard those terms before at least here in the US nor on the Apple site either.

Re: Which CPU / computer for protools 2018
Hi,
Sorry for the late conclusion, but this what I can finally tell : my final choice has been a MAC Pro 6,1 Xeon 6 cores, 16 Go ram, upgraded to 64 Go. Great machine. I had the opportunity to compare the CPU capabilities of this computer to a hackintosh i7 7700k (the same CPU as the iMac 27”). The Mac Pro handled 14 instances of the TDR Limiter 6 in “insane” mode before CPU over, and the hackintosh handled 16 instances. But !... I never heard the Mac Pro’s fan even at full CPU, and it’s 1m from my ears (and this doesn’t mean I’m deaf ) For those who are tempted by the hackintosh adventure, it can be a better option when silence is important. The iMac i7 7700k is not a good option for audio purposes because of the fan noise. So. I’m glad of my choice. I think I will be able to use it for several years as long as I do not use many very heavy plug-ins in the same session (Like Acustica or IK tapes).
