Hi Neil. Thanks again for reviewing the Mac Pro shallow rack rails. Because of your video we have had a few bites from the audio world that helps us pay for the R+D to make these things. I think Apple even purchased one because of you video. Hope your well. Cheers
You can get ridiculously long TB3 optical cables now from Corning and Areca. They aren't cheap but they would work for a tower / machine room studio situation.
@@NeilParfittMusic No clue That's so sad! One day I was considering moving the PC tower that def doesn't have OSX on it to another room.

I would love to hear some orchestration tutorials. There is so few videos about orchestrations on youtube. Like how do you proceed when you want a chord within a wood section with multiple divisi when legato patches do not allow multiple notes? Do you load the same patche on multiple channel? And to which to you treat "the orchestra" in your DAW like a real one? Do you even take it in consideration?
yep - there's no rules - if you need to stack up multiple identical patches to 'cheat' it - do it. I rarely aim for realism - more of the essence of the real orchestra, but in a boombastic kinda way. Probably a cartoon thing though :)
great info! i don't even own a mac pro but maybe i will one day in the future! But one thing seems strange to me. If someone is using a full on desktop machine as a portable workstation, wouldn't it make more sense to get the tower rather than the rack mounted?
You need the rackmount to fit in a flight case. Keep in mind the PCs will be smaller and lighter. Niel is where I was 15 years ago but I have long since sold most of my rack gear.
Some users - such as Digital Imaging Techs - will have this on set with their supporting gear in the same cases.. you roll onto set and deploy. Having a separate tower is just fumbly. On the music side, shallow rack furniture is the norm, so having this integrated with supporting rack gear is a cleaner setup than having junk all over the floor under the desk. And pro a/v you’re not going to have a tower sitting on top of your desk as it’s wasted space better served for multiple monitors (and also not a huge object interfering with the audio field).
@@NeilParfittMusic I see! i'm in the IT world and for my portable uses, it's mostly a laptop or other small devices that can be carried around in a bag. However you have made me realize that people in your profession are working with gear that's much larger and requires mounts of their own. Interesting!
Hi - I got the carbon fibre bracket after watching this, but since Big Sur, the drive doesn’t show up after a restart, but always shows up after a full power down / startup. Is this happening for you? It’s certainly odd. Thanks for the vids!
Hey Neil, thanks for continuing to share great Mac Pro videos with us! I wanted to ask you on your thoughts in the new M1 CPU’s, whether their release has you looking forward to a potential new Apple silicon Mac Pro, or if you think it’s too early given your line of work and the software you use for production.
I'm looking forward to see what the bigger scale chip will look like, Intel has been dragging their heels and a start to end design of OS and hardware will be the winner. I don't have regrets buying this machine though.. I needed the juice!
hrmm that's a tricky one as my music work is so weirdly specific to animation. It's sorta like talking about food. I hate pineapples on Pizza... but you may like them...
What's got you moving your Mac Pro Neil? From what I remember in your last few videos you were talking about how the AVID cards don't like to have their stuff plugged and unplugged a lot. Just something I was curious if you'd be willing to elaborate on. Wishing you and your family the best this holiday season!
The Sonnet Fusion Flex J3i also lets you install 2x 2.5/3.5 SSD/HDD as well as room for a 3rd 2.5" SSD as well. It costs more macpro.io than the macpro.io bracket that you showed. I think it would be cool if someone made a solution that included a pair of port multipliers to let you use more than 2 2.5" ssds.
@@NeilParfittMusic yes, typically port multipliers are down stream of the SATA controller. You can buy stand alone port multiplier cars (1 SATA in, 5x SATA out, no PCIe connection), and they also appeared inside a lot of the now outdated eSATA JBOD cases. It is worth noting that occasionally SATA controllers aren't compatible with port multipliers. Most frequently I've seen this in devices that use a SAS controller for SATA drives.
First of all I'm am pleased that I have given you you 666'th like because you are so devilishly good. SO I am just about to plunk down WAY too much money for a MP rack and I've been having a HELL of a time (see what I did there?) trying to figure out how to squeeze it into my 22in rack, because AUDIO does not conform to SERVER specs as you so rightly pointed out. I've spent days trying to convince myself that this was a really bad idea (do I REALLY need an 8k mac to run ProTools? no - a mac mini would do it, but hey these Mac Pros seem really sweet in terms of future proofing - hell, I'd get that sweet 56 core chip in a few years for the fraction of the price of a new machine, LOL...) Thank you so much as really I'd have NO idea I could find a solid rack solution with out the luck of stumbling upon this video - so DAMN YOU as I am about to enter in my credit card information.
Ouch, $65 for a small bracket and a few centimeters of cable seems a bit steep. Wonder if there's any model files that you can rune through a lasercutter at your local hacker/makerspace. Only interesting thing here is the power plug on the mac side, but I bet you can find blank plugs and crimp contacts for that easily, probably some PCIe graphics power plug variant. I'd say: If you want to do it on a budget, $10-$15 would be easily possible. I really like the rails solution. Simple, works. Is that material that you slide over the original rails delrin? Seems like if it is some more regular plastic, it could wear out easily.
I can deal with the $65.00 Upgrade for the SSD Drive mount, what I can't accept is $599.00 for that rail kit !!! And it really doesn't 100% solve my problem, I have a Dual-Bay 16U rack to the right side of my desk, from the backside of the MacPro to the back of the monitor is farther than 2m, and I haven't yet found anyone who makes longer TBolt-3 USB-C Cables... like 5m would be absolutely perfect.
There is a solution to get the rack mount Mac Pro 2019 in the server room an have monitor, keyboard, mouse etc in another room! You can get a Thunderbolt 3 cable up to 50 meters (about 164 feet) and then use a TB3 hub to connect the displays etc. Link to the Corning TB3 cable: www.corning.com/optical-cables-by-corning/worldwide/en/products/thunderbolt-optical-cables.html We have 21 of the new Mac Pro 2019 systems and use this Corning cable on three systems, 2 x 50 m and 1 x 25 m, and it works perfect! To bad that there is no adapter from TB3 to optical LC connector... we have optical cables wired to every room but had to add this Corning cable.
Please let me know in a year (if you remember) how they’re running. The Corning tb2 - the transceivers burned out multiple times just after a year of use ... which is super shit on a $500 cable :(
@@NeilParfittMusic O shit, did not know that! Well I'll let you know of course. To bad that there is no TB2/TB3 adapter with a TB connection in one end and a LC optical in the other. TB is after all a optical interface.
@@peros1968 right? Why don't they just use OM4 cable and the correct transceiver? I can't imagine latency being an issue if it's used in mega fast networking. ?
Neil!!! AMD has recently announced that their Threadripper Pro line of workstation CPUs will be available for their own purchase- and so have some WRX-80 motherboards for them! Capability of the motherboard includes 7 PCI-E slots, the Gigabyte motherboard even has a thunderbolt 3 add-in card available, it's probably possible to hackintosh them, and they support up to 64 cores! Have we reached the unobtanium- especially considering Threadripper 5000 is just around the corner, bringing with it INSANE upgrades to the pro line too?
I know, I saw that! Nice base clock speeds too! I have an inkling though... that whenever Apple drops their "W"orkstation CPU, or whatever it might be called... it's probably blow the socks off of industry offerings. This is just my hunch though, based on how amazing the first M CPU is... and knowing that this is just a taste of things to come. Not sure what will happen with the Hackintosh community once Apple is 100% transitioned and newer OS's don't support intel. Feels like PPC to intel all over again! AGHH!!
@@NeilParfittMusic Do you think that once Apple Silicon gets to the stage of being included in the workstations, that they'll include upgradeable components? If they continue making them SOCs, even in a workstation, that probably would be a longetivity disadvantage compared to a custom windows workstation. We'll see!
Darn, I wish I'd seen this video before I painstakingly modded the back of my desk to hold the 24 inch rails!!! Oh well. Hey, a side note Neil, what's the model of that Flight Case? I love it! Thanks for your videos!
I think it comes down to one's perception of what time & materials are worth. Factor in the cost of custom-cut carbon fiber pieces, hand-made cables, the time to test, manage orders and package everything, and then shipping (from Australia)... not to mention coming up with an original idea... I dunno. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
@@SomeTechGuy666 I did the math (or research, really). The cables are hand-made to spec/length, and tested by one guy in Australia. He's not some big Chinese manufacturer that can afford to just do stuff for next-to-no profit. You're basically paying for his time. And to me, if someone comes up with a cool idea and spends time on making it happen, that's worth something.
Most youtubers only used their MacPro to run a few benchmarks and awe at the high score it gets compared to the other macs. If you actually need a computer to do your work you will use something not because it's the newest or best bang for buck thing but because it works with your software and hardware so you can sit down and do your work without giving the computer another thought. Not speaking only about Apple machines here, but any piece of equipment is not replaced just for the hell of it in a professional environment.
The difference is: I work in post production for a living TH-cam isn’t my day-job or even a side hustle I’m not buying and returning product to hustle views I like sharing practical information
Most of the tech youtubers i follow have one. Mkbhd, mrwhostheboss, max tech. But aside from youtubers, it's mainly professionals like mr mcdonalds professional here that would really be buying these.
I've been itching to ask this... I assume fast food workers have a proper rank and chain of command like any properly militarized nation would. So, does a "McDonald's Professional" out rank a "Subway Sandwich Artist"? Or maybe those are in completely different branches of the fast food (glove-)armed forces... idk.

Not speaking only about Apple machines here, but any piece of equipment is not replaced just for the hell of it in a professional environment.
The difference is:
I work in post production for a living
TH-cam isn’t my day-job or even a side hustle
I’m not buying and returning product to hustle views
I like sharing practical information
Most of the tech youtubers i follow have one. Mkbhd, mrwhostheboss, max tech. But aside from youtubers, it's mainly professionals like mr mcdonalds professional here that would really be buying these.
I've been itching to ask this... I assume fast food workers have a proper rank and chain of command like any properly militarized nation would. So, does a "McDonald's Professional" out rank a "Subway Sandwich Artist"? Or maybe those are in completely different branches of the fast food (glove-)armed forces... idk.
Either way, Merry Christmas from a warmonger down south
Lol!
