I used this system for music production, recording, mixing and mastering work. My previous Pro Tools computer was a 5.1 Mac Pro 6 Core 3.33 GHz (Cheese-Grater), which I purchased in 2012 to run a Pro Tools HD Native PCIe System along with a DigiLink interface. That said, I’m a Mac guy through and through and have been for a very long time so it’s always my platform of choice. With the correct configuration, Pro Tools can work equally well on both platforms and as Apple prices are increasing, choosing a Windows PC to run Pro Tools is no doubt a sensible decision as the cost factor can be much less and the components are largely the same. I just want to say that the war on this topic is well and truly over. Over to you Simon… Something To Get Out Of The Wayīefore we get into my experiences changing to a new Mac mini 2018 I wanted to say something about the Mac vs Windows PC debate.

In this article Simon shares his own experiences of going from a Mac Pro Cheese-grater to a Mac mini 2018 computer fro his music production Pro Tools rig.

Simon Nakra owns a recording studio called Studio Neo based in Warwickshire in the UK and he has been a Pro Tools user for the past 14 years.
