It absolutely was for a long time. There’s a number of studios that even still have old PowerMac and cheese grater Intel towers chugging along in some capacity, and audio professionals were among the loudest to protest the “trash can” Mac Pro’s lack of expansion slots.
- 72deluxe 4y agoI wonder if Thunderbolt and USB interfaces killed all this though? It's difficult to find a dedicated card for an audio interface these days.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoNot sure but two or three years ago I watched some videos from an audio engineer who migrated from the trash can to the 2019 cheese grater and he seemed pretty happy. He ditched several Thunderbolt enclosures and filled his tower to the brim with cards.
- 72deluxe 4y agoI used to use a cheese grater Mac at work and was impressed at the build quality and tool-less chassis, and also how heavy it was! Quiet in use too.
