Apple is touting the nMac Pro for audio work but for those of us who create music mostly with VIs is it really worth it?
There is talk about the power of OpenCL utilizing the nMac Pro's dual GPUs but OpenCL has been around since 2008 and hasn't gained much traction yet and how many years will it take for it to be adopted by developers if it ever is.
Maybe it is better to stay with other Macs or PC (as the slave) using MIDI over LAN such as VE Pro 5.
When and if the nMac Pro dual GPU/OpenCL standard becomes adopted by third party VI and effects developers then one will be able to actually enjoy the advantages of it.
The nMac Pro may be the future but I feel more comfortable in the here and now for now.
This could all change when Apple releases the nMac Pro in December.
Surprise me!
