on the subject of Sonoma compatibility

[Slau Halatyn]

It’s easy to criticize Avid for their Sonoma support timetable. As Production Expert points out in this article, a bunch of other developers have also had issues with compatibility. For what it’s worth, the recent critical issue with VoiceOver and Sonoma has been addressed and we’ll see a fix in the next release, which will likely be released sooner rather than on the usual schedule.

Further, I understand that there’s a particular pain that people feel when they’re forced to buy a brand new computer and they can’t roll back the OS and sometimes there’s a gap with support for the very latest OS. It happens. That’s the way the world goes round and one simply has to accept the reality. It sucks when that happens but, the truth is, Macs last years and years and, for the most part, these issues rarely come up. I’ve own many Macs and I’ve never had this issue. That doesn’t mean that tomorrow it won’t happen to me but I am certain that I’d just deal with it. Enough said for now from me.

Well said Slau, a lot of it is about planning an overlap in machines which is easier for some than others. I’m still forging ahead on a tricked out 2011 Imac while the mac studio I bought over a year ago sits impatiently in the rack beneath it!

Thank you, Slough, very well said! Look at how far we have all come. Especially because of Chi and Slough and others that have done more and gone on before us. Much respect to Slough and the Brickley team. Looking forward to much more good to come.

Thank you for the update Slau

Hi Slau!

Do you know if the 14.4.1 solves the issue?

Best,

JP

[Slau Halatyn]

Oh, I have absolutely no idea.

Hi everyone,

The new Sonoma 14.4.1 update fixes known iLok issues and USB/display connectivity issues etc that were created in 14.4. It does not however, fix the Pro Tools and VoiceOver bug introduced in Pro Tools 2024.3. Another Pro Tools update should be coming soon that WILL fix that, but in the meantime, if you MUST be on 24.3 on Sonoma, you can work around it by setting your VoiceOver cursor to ignore the mouse cursor in VoiceOver utility.

Best,

Rocco
