focusrite scarlette 8i6

[Ronald J Glaser]

Ok, I have the focusrite scarlette 8i6 protools 2019.5 mac OSX mohave
mac mini with 3.2 ghz processer, 32 gigs of ram, a six core processer.

When I launch the scarlette control software via the short cuts i
created so I can switch between no direct monitar, and with direct
moniter I get the warning that the scarlette software/interface will not
work with future versions of Mac OSX.  How can A person tell if An
interfacw will work for them  continuesley with out breaking compatability?

 It sounds to me like you might need to update your driver. 

   A few of the lower in Scarlets don't need a driver. You might need to check and see if the scarlet six needs a driver.

IF memory serves correct that warning mostly just means that its 32 bit code and as MacOS is 64it, it they are dropping support for 32bit code in newer versions. Check the Focusrite website to see if they have updated the drivers for your device. If you are using the original Scarlet and not a Scarlet MKII however it may just be the end of the road for support. As I said, check with Focusrite though.

I have checked and there is no driver update for this interface.

this is the only model of this interface there is not  second generation
for it.

So I guess this means that when the new mac OSX come out that my
interface may not work for me then correct?

Contact Focusrite support and find out what the deal is.

Catalina will not support any 32 bit code. Even Pro Tools has some 32-bit legacy code. Focusrite probably wrote the current drivers for most of their interfaces in 32. Virtually all interface manufacturers will have to update their software to be purely 64-bit if they want to be Catalina compatible.

I agree. There may be some parts that won't work, I think you and I
discussed this?

But that doesn't mean nothing'll work. I agree with what everyone's
telling you. Contact Focusrite.

Not even Sweetwater, since you didn't initially get it from them. I'd
just contact Focusrite directly.

Chris.

[Ronald J Glaser]

I have not found any contact information for them.

[Christopher Gilland]

With all due respect, let me do the... easy... work for ya.

Step 1. Open Safari

Step 2. Press Command+L

Step 3. Type Google.com and hit return

Step 4. In the Google search box, type without quotes: "focusrite contact"

Step 5. See either first result, or better yet, first snip-it from the
web: It reads, and I quote:

Phone support is available at (310) 322-5500, Monday - Friday, 8am - 1pm
and 2pm - 6:00pm Pacific Time.

Found that in less than 2 minutes, literally speaking, so, wow that was
easy for not being able to find the info.

Chris.

[Ronald J Glaser]

Sorry, If i could not find it as fast as you could I spent about 3 and a
half hours scouring the net for the contact  information. LOL.
