Larry Shelby Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Virtually ALL software is NOT yet compatible with Mac OS 10 Catalina... I think I received 50 emails from developers today saying not to upgrade, and they are Beta testing... 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yup. My next MacBook Pro 16” will work with nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Carpenter Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I always wait until at least a .1 release or higher, depending on the total lack of support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 2019 Band-in-a-Box for Mac is compatible with Mac OS version 10.15 (Catalina). PG Music has "just released" pricing until October 15, 2019. https://www.pgmusic.com/bbmac.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I thought the adverts said Macs 'just work'... On a slightly more serious note, I do wonder if it's a deliberate ploy from Apple to deliberately break stuff, forcing people to pay more for upgrades to everything. ok - I'm done playing the cynic; peace out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 bear in mind that this happens more or less every time there is a MacOS update. The other problem is that if you buy an new mac then it comes with the latest OS and there is no way to "downgrade" as the firmware/bios doesn't allow it - I use (a lot of!) macs at work and we have to stockpile macs before there is an update because most of our bespoke software breaks when there is an update. compare this with windows - I reckon I can still run office 2001 on windows 10 Apple basically don't really care about a large proportion of their user base -they look at us a "fringe" minority. sigh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott R. Garrigus Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Those of you running older software on Win 10... are you using compatibility mode and / or run as administrator? Just curious if you're doing anything special to get the apps to run. -- Scott R.

Grem Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 @Scott R. Garrigus I can run CE, and do simple things on it. I did it recently just to see if it would work. However, I have moved on to Audition. When I need to work on waves I use that instead of CE. I think in CE2K's instance, it's more a matter of good coding than anything Win10 is doing!! And Audition is really just CE with a new UI. Most of the same things in CE are still in it (well the version of Audition I am using). Such as when I go to import a wav file in, or save as, the dialog windows is the same one that was used in CE2K! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not yet had an update break any of my hosts or plugins. On the other hand, if I were a mac user, it looks like Catalina would have broken them all.
