Looking at our searchable macOS Monterey and Apple Silicon databases, we find the following…Ībleton say that Ableton Live 11.1 is now available as Universal Binary build. If a universal app doesn't recognise an add-on you've installed for the app, you can close the app, select this setting and try again. This setting enables universal apps, such as web browsers or DAWs, to use plug-ins, extensions and other add-ons that haven't been updated to support Apple silicon.

If you have a Universal app, the Info window includes the setting 'Open using Rosetta'. You can use Get Info (Command+I) to identify apps that need Rosetta or can use Rosetta:įrom the File menu in the menu bar, choose Get Info.Īpplication (Intel) means the app only supports Intel processors and needs Rosetta to work on any Mac with Apple Silicon.Īpplication (Universal) means the app supports both Apple silicon and Intel processors and uses Apple Silicon by default. How To Force An Application To Run Via Rosetta 2 If you choose not to install Rosetta now, you'll be asked again the next time you open an app that requires Rosetta 2. After you've installed Rosetta 2, it will become available to any other apps that need it, so you won't be asked to install it again. Click Install, then enter your user name and password to allow the installation process to proceed.

On an Apple Silicon powered computer, you'll be asked to install Rosetta 2 the first time you open an app built for an Intel-based Mac. If just one plugin isn’t supported for Apple Silicon natively then you are forced to run your DAW via Rosetta 2 as a DAW cannot run a mix of plugins, some using Rosetta 2 and some running natively. Another factor to consider is whether all the plugins you want to use with your DAW are also supported to run on Apple Silicon powered computers natively. However, now with the release of the new Apple Studio M1 Ultra powered computer, are we at the tipping point where we can use the latest M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra Apple Silicon powered computers as the main studio computer running a DAW, plugins and ancillary software? We investigate… What About DAW Support? Rosetta 2 Or Native?Īlthough we are seeing a growing number of DAWs that can now run natively, it isn’t that simple. When we started our Apple Silicon and macOS Monterey compatibility articles and searchable databases, the advice was simple, don’t do it.
