      I updated the trashcan to to Catalina, then used timemachine to roll back within hours, life saver. I then installed Catalina on a separate APFS partition(dual booting like the windows partition on bootcamp) it never worked for music production in my experience. I have kept that partition up to date and with Big Sur I started getting disk compatibility warnings when I booted into mojave. The bigsur partition no longer appears in my boot drives list in start up disk menu, I have to option key at start up to use Bigsur (which I almost never do, first signs of end of life). so glad I didn't invest in the rack mount 2019( It was close but the Catalina put me off). I wonder how long the trash can will last? It rarely gets beyond 50%cpu so...

      “The version of macOS that came with your Mac is the earliest version it can use. For example, if your Mac came with macOS Big Sur, it can't use macOS Catalina or earlier. If a macOS isn't compatible with your device, the App Store or installer will let you know. If you try to install a macOS that is older than the version currently installed, the installer will say that it is too old to be opened on this version of macOS.”

It worked it was all configured the way I liked it so I didn't upgrade it. Apple never made a change that made it worth messing with my working production computer.

    I have learned the hard way to wait to update Mac OS when a new version is released. It’s always best to run version behind. Apple does always implement the latest technology but developers of vital software don’t always keep up. One software that I depend on just released its Big Sur compatible update. So no way will it be ready for Monterey any time soon.

      On Windows, I know I can even run software from 10 years ago (I tried it with Reason 5, and it worked with a simple patch).

    In the early 1990's I was totally cool with dropping $400 on a 270Mb Syquest cartridge, or $1000 for a 10Mb RAM upgrade for an Ensoniq sampler. Fast forward to 2013 ... I buy a Retina thingy MBP 13" for a "trivial" $1800 (ish). Here we are in 2021, still on the same laptop, I'm rocking Logic Pro X, Xcode, 3 adult kids at home, an 8 year old with a near-permanent Minecraft monologue, two dogs, and zero care to upgrade. I reckon I'll stroll by a M4 2024 MBP and squeeze 13 years out of this rig.

    Good to see another vid like your last one. I've been debating upgrading to Big Sur now that Monterey is hitting the market. I've decided to keep my main computer (iMac 2019) on Catalina since I use it for all my video production, audio production, etc. Also, I use my Avid Eleven Rack with it. But the Eleven Rack Editor app isn't very compatible with Big Sur as far as I'm aware, and I need it to work so that I can upload and save presets to and from my 11R; there's basically no other way to do this without it.
    On the other hand, I mainly use my MacBook Air (Mid-2015, Catalina) as my primary writing machine since it only has 4GB of RAM and doesn't function well as a music/video machine. So I may go ahead and update it to Big Sur soon. I also don't frequently use my laptop and main computer together very often, so I hope I won't have to worry about Catalina and Big Sur compatibility between computers if I ever decide to.
    Maybe you could do a video about this sort of issue-keeping one computer with one OS and upgrading a different one and their ability to work (or not work) together. It would be nice to hear some thoughts on this subject.

    When I was on Windows, producing video’s. I remember so many times the automatic updates that I couldn’t always shut off disabled 3rd party software every few days... would take an hour or so to circumvent the updates that I couldn’t disable. So I ended up keeping windows box off the internet once I got the video cards, adobe etc all working. Apple does it to, but nearly as bad... but yes I’m in a habit of getting everything working and NOT UPDATING ANYTHING unless I REALLY NEED TO! Honestly sometimes it’s better to just buy a newer computer. (Of wow, you just said you can get an computer to update to stay current... just what I was about to say). That and I find it good to have a music computer and a video editing computer... so when your using 1 computer for something, everything is hardware/software and physically different desk to work on that thing, and the other computer for video editing with different hardware and accessories and os etc. that and it tricks you to work on that project... sort of like the gym vs home gym. If you go to the gym you commit to exercise for an hour vs if it’s a home gym and you do 10 minutes and then check your email, get another coffee... watch youtube etc.

    I have a question I would greatly appreciate an answer for.
    I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) which I used for music production, running macOS Mojave 10.14.6. It was the most powerful MacBook I could acquire that could run 32-bit plugins.
    I no longer have the need to run 32-bit plugins or programs, but I would appreciate knowing the best OS to upgrade to. I have an iPhone XR running iOS 16.6, and each successive update is undoubtedly causing some unresponsiveness. My theory is each device has an optimal OS, balancing speed and features. Also, I've seen some people running Sylenth1 on Sonoma, so it appears a work around has been reached.

Over the last few years this has not been the case though and have had to wait a long time for compatibility. However hoping that's just because Apple have been making the transition to Apple Silicon and that this version and/or future versions will not have as many compatibility headaches.

It's my first Mac expierience too. Everyone told me Yeah Mac is great for audio and whatnot. Nothing works. It's honestly the worst expierience i have ever had with any new device. First i had to get a new interface because the old one wasn't compatible, now i bought one specifically one running core audio, and now it just crashes after 10 minutes if it works at all. Fuck this shit. Seriously. How the fuck does it not work with a class compliant device? Imagine Microsoft did an update that makes 90% of USB devices incompatible.

    I bought my iMac 27-Inch 2020 last week and when I got it, it was driving Monterey and I was getting HUGE performance issues while even just using the system. So I loaded up to the recovery and I downgraded on Catalina. Everything is fixed. I don’t plan to upgrade till they will have fixed all those performance and compatibility issues! And Big Sur, I HATE THE GUI. So I’m just gonna stay on Catalina probably forever (till they will fix those bullshits).

You can barely see the screen, then go to set the brightness, and it's been turned to to a minimum. Happens every time I'm using it. Go over everything in your system preferences. Today I set the screen to never dim. Let's see. By the way, I immediately downloadied Google to handle the web.

      So I’m eating my words. I upgraded to Big Sur a couple of days ago and I’m glad I did. It runs much smoother than Catalina and my AIR Minigrand plug in no longer crashes Logic when opening like it did on Catalina. Also, all of my other plug ins (Arturia, UAD after installing new driver, U-He, Kontakt, etc) all work perfectly on Big Sur for me. What I’m learning is that it’s best to stay at least an OS behind to give developers time to catch up to the new OS. If I upgrade to Monterey it won’t be until this time next year or pretty close to it.

    Hi- stumbled upon your 2yr old video. I bought my MacBook Pro May 2018-it looks to be the 2017 model. 13” ? Touch pad. My telehealth dr told me to install zoom-why? Their waiting room works fine. To do this my laptop said I needed Ventura-totally messed everything up.Then,the Mac zoom is not compatible, tech support was just horrible and so many changes were made that I can’t get all my original settings back.
    I’m at a loss because I now have No system preferences and I’m losing my mind
    because I literally don’t know how to fix anything and don’t know how to downgrade to previous version-Monterey? Right? I’ve spent days ( and I mean 12hrs at a time) 😢on this since 2/25/24. It’s driving me insane that I can’t fix this.
    FYI: I’ve not used Time Machine, only once, and I don’t know that either!
    I hope you can help. Usually, I can figure it out, but things are getting beyond my scope. I’ve never used zoom and really think it’s a bad idea for the health profession to use what I feel is not secure and soon to be obsolete also?
    This here will become the next issue besides above downgrade and ability to use zoom with telehealth uh 🙄…
    To let you know, if this helps… I was using iCloud on my iPhone, X-loved it, but when I purchased the 14 pro Verizon -1year ago-connected all my devices (5) to the cloud-I don’t know how to use the cloud and don’t like that I can’t see my photos,etc. My personal WD CLOUD SERVER(obsolete and no longer supported as of July 2023, and backups all seem obsolete)???
    I can’t even figure out how to get stuff off other laptops, storage (stuff-can’t find the right word). Thousands of dollars of electronics and I can’t figure out any of this as this point. Which electronics do I keep?
    My doctor is livid-but oh no she doesn’t know how to help with this mess.
    Plz plz help if you can. ????
    Or point me in the right direction 😢 plz.
