When the new Mac Pro 2019 was announced I thought long and hard about going for a PC workstation. But I found myself asking the question “Why can they not just make a proper tower computer for all the stuff to go in?” A New Toy It did mean that I could position the Mac mini away from the mix position, which was great. It too is a great machine for the money but I was still in a mess of Apple dongles with an expansion chassis. The iMac lasted for me until 2018 when I bought a Mac mini. I’d argue that is its natural environment, or at least, out of the way and away from my ears. A tower can be placed in the machine room. I also found that the iMac’s fans would spin up at inopportune times, not often but when they did it was annoying and I always had a nagging sense that a tower is just the proper machine for a studio, not an “all in one” like the iMac. I didn’t hate it and yes it all worked, but it felt clunky and messy compared to a nice neat tower with ‘all the stuff inside it’. The iMac also saw me end up with a mess of dongles and using an expansion chassis for the HDX card. Of course, you could put the iMac in a machine room but then you are paying for a large screen you cannot use.

The iMac is a fine machine in itself but in a professional recording studio, I tend to prefer to have anything, that has a fan in it, as far away from my ears as possible. I bought a 2017 iMac 5k 27” as a bit of a test. When my 2010 Mac Pro died a few years ago I considered buying another identical machine on the used market but wanted to get something more modern with Thunderbolt. Not without a few bumps in the road but, on the whole, a positive experience. I’ve had a happy marriage with Apple and Pro Tools for many years.

Then a G5, then a couple of Mac Pro’s- running TDM/HD/HDX systems for the most part as well as native systems. It is just a lot of money for a computer for me, a one-man-band producer/engineer/audio consultant.

There isn’t a machine that works for me as much as a Mac tower, and as we all know Apple hasn’t made a proper tower since 2012. I bought the new Mac Pro somewhat under duress. Yes, I actually bought one, which was a surprise to me as much as anyone (although not to my long-suffering and extremely wonderful wife).

Mac OS Catalina Support is here for Pro Tools with the exception of the new Mac Pro, which is a pity because that is the machine I see sitting before me. In this article, he shares his experiences setting up a 2019 Mac Pro with Logic Pro X and Pro Tools 2019.12 running on macOS Catalina with an Avid Pro Tools HDX1 system. He has chosen to go for a new 2019 Mac Pro even though it isn’t approved yet for Pro Tools.
