Focusrite

All current hardware is compatible with Big Sur. Older hardware and the Scarlett and Midnight plugin suites, all of which have reached EOL and are no longer supported on any platform, are not compatible.

Focusrite Pro product compatibility with macOS 11 "Big Sur" on Apple Silicon-based systems

At time of writing Focusrite Pro products are not supported on Apple Silicon-based Mac systems as we are aware of some issues.

Once we have completed verification of the compatibility status of our current products we will update this article, until then we would recommend against relying on using such a system in conjunction with your Focusrite Pro product.

Focusrite product compatibility with macOS 11 "Big Sur" on Apple Silicon-based systems

Works with Big Sur on Apple Silicon? YES*

The Scarlett 3rd Gen range is class compliant and can presently be used with Apple Silicon systems as audio devices.

*However we’re aware of compatibility issues with Focusrite Control. We are investigating these issues and hope to provide a status update in the near future, though we can’t give an exact date for that just yet.

The Scarlett 2i2 interface appears to be working fine via USB class compliant (native built-in) driver. If you need something to get you up and running immediately, this may hold you over. You just won't have access to their Focusrite Control software for a bit.

Modern Novation hardware is Big Sur compatible. Software products AutoMap, B-Station, and V-Station are not compatible. Check the link for specific product details.

Novation product compatibility with Big Sur on Apple Silicon

At time of writing Novation products are not supported on Apple Silicon-based Mac systems as we are aware of some issues.

Once we have completed verification of the compatibility status of our current products we will update this article, until then we would recommend against relying on using such a system in conjunction with your Novation product.

As with Focusrite, however, (many of?) their MIDI/USB controllers are class compliant and should just work, at least with basic functionality.

FREE UPDATE: All our plugins have been updated to add native support for the new Apple Silicon platform in AU, VST2 and VST3. Pro Tools does not run natively on M1 machines, so AAX support is currently only available on Intel equipped Macs or through Big Sur's Intel emulation layer (Rosetta). We'll release another update here as soon as Avid provides a compatible version of their AAX SDK.

As of this date, we are still finalizing support for Dante applications on Intel based macs running macOS Big Sur. Support for Intel-based Macs running Big Sur is anticipated in early 2021.

We do not recommend installing Dante software (Dante Controller, Dante Virtual Soundcard, Dante Via) on any Macs that use the new M1 ARM SoC. We are working to ensure proper compatibility with these new products, expected later in 2021.

Though we have not updated our plugins for the new M1 computers, our plugins are compatible with Big Sur. We hope to have a new build up to take advantage of the M1 architecture, but our tests have shown that there is no significant loss in performance with our current release (3.5.1) running on M1 hardware. If you experience any issues running our plugins on Big Sur, please let us know.
