I upgraded to macOS Sonoma 14.4 and my AU plugins stopped working.

Modified on Fri, 5 Apr, 2024 at 12:02 PM

Some PACE-protected Audio Units plugins crash on startup with macOS Sonoma 14.4, when running on M2 or M3 hardware under the ARM architecture.

This has been reported by PACE here:

To solve this, you can run your DAW under Rosetta:

1. Quit your DAW, open the Finder, and go to your Applications folder.
2. Right-Click on your DAW.
3. Click on “Get Info”.
4. Tick “Open using Rosetta".


If you haven't upgraded to macOS Sonoma 14.4 yet, consider avoiding it.
