Oh it definitely can be. For example if you have hundreds of microphones recording at once with a high resolution recording studio sample rate - that can easily be several gigabytes per second of audio.
So I was confused at first, until I realized the headline said “Mac Pro”, not “Macbook Pro”.
Plenty of professionals use MacBooks, Mac Minis, and even Mac Studios.
The question is, who wants the new Mac Pro? The vast majority of professionals are better suited by a laptop, or can get all the same work done with a Mac Studio.
I would think this would probably be more useful for people involved with video production or animation than music production, which could likely be accomplished on a MacBook.
Maybe try music production professionals, a lot of them tend to use Macs
They’d want a Mac Studio. In fact, that product was designed specifically for music production professionals and outperforms the Pro.
The only people the Pro targets are those who want expansion capabilities, and the latest version is hamstrung in this regard.
I dont really think that music production is performance limited though
For projects with a huge number of tracks, VSTs, etc, you can push hardware to the limit quicker than you might think.
