- dangus 7y agoAnd their customers still are audio engineers, it’s just that they also have more general consumers. The new Mac Pro rack mount version basically makes no sense unless you do professional audio. Why else would anyone need a quiet rack mount server with really bad component density per U that has no lights out management? It’s because it’s a studio rack mount workstation intended to coexist with other rack mount audio hardware. Apple’s hardware seems overpriced until you consider the license cost of Avid ProTools compared to paying for Logic Pro once. Apple is still quite aware that audio professionals are an important niche customer.
