hello it's Patrick here from the GarageBandguide.com and I'm here to warn
you don'ts update to Mac OS Catalina I
received an email the other day from Ike a multimedia warning me to wait before
updating to Mac OS Catalina the reason this update to their
operating system brings features fixes and updates but will also affect your
use of I K and other audio software that you rely on we urge all i ke users not
to install mac OS 10.15 now that's pretty crazy and you be forgiven for
wondering why I came ulti media specifically or having trouble getting
their software and potentially their hardware to play nice with Mac OS
Catalina this isn't an isolated case however I got a similar email from Rolly
the company behind the Seaboard blocks and other high-tech musical instruments
their email read as follows testing so far has revealed that changes introduced
in Mac OS 10.15 may affect compatibility so we recommend that you do not update
to Mac OS Catalina and tell we've ensured compatibility and given the
all-clear that you're safe to do so I did a wee bit of digging and it turns
out that several other companies are recommending their users pulled off
before updating to select digital's official statement our jizz all of our
customers to wait before updating and Native Instruments flat I'll tell you
that all of their software and hardware products are not supported under Mac OS
10.15 please do not install mac OS 10.15 if you are using native instrument
products so why is Catalina causing this much havoc it could be down to the fact
that Mac OS Catalina is the first Mac operating system to require all programs
to be 64-bit any 32-bit software or software that accesses 32-bit libraries
are incompatible with it seen this pop up when opening some older programs
recently there's a good chance that that program won't work and Mac OS Catalina
at least until it's updated Apple are also tightening security in a big way
with Catalina and increasing the frequency your Mac will throw there are
you sure you want to do that permission boxes at you as this excellent article
on treat the gentle music explains with a common monolithic app providing these
permissions called entitlements is fairly easy but music software isn't
monolithic your DAW is running all sorts of libraries and plugins and so on
unfortunately the exploits that Apple is targeting and malware code injection
dynamically linked library hijacking and process memory space tampering also look
a lot like the behaviors your door performs normally by the way that
article is pretty much required reading for anyone making music on their Mac
right now I'll link it in the description box
below be sure to check it out
so there you have it if you use any third-party plugins
software or hardware while creating music in GarageBand for Mac or any dog
on that for that matter hold off from updating to Mac OS Catalina for the time
being I've been Patrick from the GarageBandguide.com I'll see you next time bye for now
