I still run my old 2008 Mac Pro and I did a lot of update but now the end is near in Pro tools my buffer is at 1024 so no playable Virtual instrument No USB 3 and also loosing a PCIe slot for a SATA III add on card and so on
I use a Apollo Firewire with not Thunderbolt card and 3 UAD PCIe card but one still in is box for lack of space. I love Mac in the studio but i'm a little scared of the hackintosh stability so everyday I go back and fort ... should I switch to PC and go full Windows 10 keeping the option of a Thunderbolt with a add on card and getting some nice SATA III USB 3 and more SPEED with 7th Gen I7 or go on the Dark side ... lol . I read a lot of threads of peoples running hackintosh with Thunderbolt card but when you ask for info on the Build stability report in a real working studio with paying client you get silence ... maybe they just Crash there system so they can't reply. Joke aside if you have comment or just to add your grain of salt please reply
The old 4.1 and 5.1 Mac Pro are way to pricy have no SATA III or Thunderbolt and for what I see will get there ass kick from the newer 7th and 8th gen i7 with half the core
Let me know if i'm wrong and make me a happy man
Have a nice day
