I've made a comment about this on hacker news before. It's only a Mac thing. You can install a 15 year old DAW on Windows still to this day. You can't install something from 3 years ago on Mac. That being said I use an Akai MPC Live and a Roland Fantom because I've been burned by OS and VST's. I only use a computer to arrange and finish the audio. It's also a better workflow for software developers because your not staring a computer screen to do music, which works for me. If you want a cheaper setup a MPC One and something like Yamaha Modx works fine too. |

However, the dropping of 32-bit support was low, inexcusable, and just an overall dick move to the hardcore audio enthusiasts more than any other single demographic of MacOS users. What a backhanded move to a demographic they diligently worked so hard for years to retain and create a user base for.
I've been using Apple products for about 16 years. More or less, due to sticking with Mojave, other than a few things I prefer on my G5, I can use those same tools today. The disappointing thing is since Catalina, alone; that's no longer the case.
Pre-Catalina, I could state by experience your statement would be unequivocally untrue. Catalina needlessly makes me have to reconsider using the MacOS platform. For shame. Even if you're transitioning to ARM, there is no need to pointlessly deprecate what already works in the meantime. Just drop 32 bit support for ARM. Come on, guys. You're making a dedicated user of 15 years lose her faith, here. :/
You have taken a platform with an already limited amount of software and willingly decreased the amount of available software significantly with what you have called an upgrade. I can't possibly understand.
