Ehh, this has mainly only been true since Catalina dropped 32 bit support. Although I still run a quad core G5 with 16GB RAM and 2x1TB SSDs to run Logic Pro 9 and a legacy version of Pro Tools I have a license to, amongst tons of PPC only VSTs.

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.

It's not a Catalina thing. How long have you done music on Mac? Went through this with Snow leopard. Then with Mountain Lion. I can't install Rapture, Dimension Pro or Z3ta from Cakewalk after Mountain lion. Again Windows 10 just fine. Mac is a horrible platform for music and if I didn't do mobile development I would drop it in 5 seconds. Mac has literally become a joke in the computer music community.
