I’m not in the market for a Mac Pro, in any form, but I found this pair of videos quite interesting. Both are from audio engineer Neil Parfitt.

The first is the arrival and unboxing, with running observations along the way from the perspective of someone who makes their living working on TV and movie soundtracks.

My favorite quote:

I made a decision almost 22 years ago, while I was still on PC, that has brought me into this ecosystem that I can’t escape.

The second video is the Mac Pro, now rack mounted, with some interesting discussion about some of the workarounds Neil needed to get things working in his current (temporary) setup.
