Much obliged, sir
Unfortunately they only support up to 16gb for now so will be a temporary machine until I can get something superpowered. If the Mac Pro is as good of a value as the other new M1 it will save Apple in my eyes. (I was about to switch to Windows and build my own Ryzen machine).
Here you go my friend.. take a look for yourself... I posted this in the Pro Tools 2020.11 (new product) thread here in GS, but I am showing VSX running on video so I'm going to post it here as well. This is a "dirty" live I did for my pro audio friends on FB on my first stress test of the M1, I have no words:

*Note: Rogue Amoeba inserted a software level blocker in the SoundSource installer that won't allow install on M1 Macs.
**that video I did was from installing fresh out the box.. there’s a day1 Big Sur M1 update and I installed it.. before opening PT I was asked to install Rosetta again and I think the update was a Rosetta fix... take everything shown in the live video and match it now to this smoothness in the PT meters and numbers:

***my moment shock had me saying “12GB” which is incorrect, it’s “16GB”, sorry for any confusion.
