Given the option, I would wait until I see that everything is going to work with the new Apple machines.Īll the other vendor listings simply said 'Wait to upgrade, check back later.'Īmongst those with limited compatibility, the typical situation is that some audio interfaces and a few simple USB devices like podcast microphones may work with Big Sur in USB class-compliant mode, but control apps and/or enhanced drivers aren't ready yet. I realise that if your Mac is set to do auto updates, then it is going to be very annoying to find that your version of HX Native no longer works on BS, and you have to spark up Time Machine to revert back. Also if you buy a brand new Mac, M1 or Intel, then the OS will be installed and that’s it.

This is simply because I had seen reports of people updating only to discover that their Mac and Apple software worked great, but all third party plugins failed or were flakey. I used to be an early adopter of all things Mac - I’ve been using them since the first Mac Plus, but for the past few years I haven’t bothered. Apparently, Sweetwater have a list of the latest incompatible software items and it’s surprising how many big names are in there. I find that odd, as not only did Line 6 send out the “warning” email, I had many others, saying the same thing about not installing Big Sur, from AKAI Pro, Eventide, I K M ultimedia, N ative I nstruments among others. There is also a discussion on the main Helix forum about how Line 6 should have been prepared for the Mac OS change. There is even a “sticky post” in one of the orange banners at the top of this page, “MacOS 11 Compatibility with Line 6 Software” stating the same as the email.

Examples including random USB disconnection and HX Edit failing to load are just a couple.Ĭonsidering that Line 6 emailed customers advising them NOT to update, many did. I don’t know how many of those are actually M1 units. There are also reports of people having various issues trying to run v.3.0 on the latest Mac OS. I know that some people have managed to be able to successfully install v3.0 Helix firmware from Big Sur machines. Has anyone with their hands on an M1 mac tried using Helix Native on Logic Pro X? Are there any issues with recording? In the market for a new laptop and wondering which way to go, Intel or Apple Silicon.
