RIP a ton of older audio plugins.

I lost access to decades of my albums which can no longer open on my MacBooks. Some open partially running Ableton Live with Rosetta. My record label recently reached out asking for stems for an old song for a sync deal with Rocket League — after spending a week trying to revive the old sessions I concluded that it was impossible and they were forever lost thanks to apples complete abandonment of backwards compatibility. It’s heart breaking really.

Could you not open the project on a windows computer or older mac?

I also think current Native Instruments luncher "Native Access" still requires rosetta for the installation :)))

I've already lost my "studio" (a few appliances in the corner of my room) due to upgrade from windows 7 to 10. Now it will happen again after I migrated to mac. I guess the "studio" should be left alone when it comes to upgrades. I'm starting to believe, that a "studio" is a set of software AND hardware, so I guess I won't sell my mac to buy new, but rather maintain it with given software and hardware on it, just maybe unplug it from the internet.

-- EDIT --

or just move back to windows, but I can't imagine it with the current state of AI bloat

It's just a choice between competent AI bloat (Microsoft) vs. laughable non-functional AI bloat (Apple).

Or current ones. I think Yamaha VOCALOID 6 still only ships for Intel and says to put your DAW in Rosetta mode.

Photoshop plugins also.

macOS has been sending mixed signals to musicians since Catalina. I'd be surprised if people are still seriously using it for studio work.

There are tons of musicians on Mac, and it gets lots of studio use. I'd say at least 50% of music studios are on Macs from what I've seen.

I can just imagine the Apple statement, like they did with flash/Flash.

‘We fully support the Studio.’

Edit: After hunting around without success, I’m now doubting my memory. I thought I could remember Jobs dismissively replying to a question about Adobe Flash that Apple supported flash (memory). Maybe I made that up?
