This is great news, however, I'd be really really careful. Make sure you read all the info and links provided before you try upgrading.


Slau, if you or anyone else would like to throw any comments in here from an accessibility standpoint, I'd very much love to hear how it's working out for you guys.


I'm probably going to upgrade, but I want first to hear specifically in the blind community how it's working out for others. Right now, I cannot afford to risk losing functionality.


Chris.

Before updating please visit our compatibility page.
 
 
 
 
We are pleased to inform you that today’s release of Pro Tools 2019.12 adds initial support for macOS Catalina. Please note however that at this time support extends to audio-only workflows and some video workflows.

Our goal with this release is to deliver the most functionality possible on macOS Catalina, meeting the needs of many of our customers. However, because Apple has transitioned to a fully 64-bit architecture with macOS Catalina, which affects Pro Tools’ interaction with certain video file types, we are not yet able to deliver full macOS Catalina support for certain video workflows. We are working to deliver full compatibility as soon as possible.

Before updating to macOS Catalina, please visit our compatibility page as well as our dedicated Pro Tools macOS Catalina support page to ensure that your system and your workflow is fully supported.

All the best,
The Pro Tools Team

personally i wouldn’t do it at this stage Chris unless you have a good reason to upgrade to the new OS. Mojave is very stable here for me, and I really like the way it works. Hi serra was a pain in the you know what for me when it came to system grunt, and using a few basic plugins when recording at lower latency.  I personally don’t want to go through that again. So i’m staying wit Majvi for now. 
Just my take on it chris.
Cheers Steve

I would also wait just a few weeks until the bleeding edge begins to coagulate. I have no hesitation upgrading on my laptop but the studio machine will probably wait until February.

I have been using PT with Catalina, and I have to say that it's pretty snappy. Also, the new VOCR is fabulous inside of Waves plugin windows. For the first time, I have access to the preset load and save buttons on the Waves toolbars, and it's been a game changer. VOCR alone made the upgrade worthy for me. Be warned though, Catalina is the king of security questions. Everything needs to be authorized, and granted access to. Once the questions are asked though, they shouldn't come up again. Unless your editing video, the experience should be pleasing.
