Public service message today, we all know how it goes.  If your host and plugins are working, your audio interface and other gear you have is working - DON’T UPGRADE your OS.   Let others be the testers and ease over when the dust has settled.

Hell, I'm still stuck on Monterey since it was the last OS X that supports Firewire audio interfaces (of which I own three and all still work fine).  THANKS APPLE!!

I love that, as for the last decade or more, Metric Halo are the first and only ones out the gate with full compatibility. 
 

As always. ❤️

I just made sure to upgrade everything to Sonoma yesterday so that I'm ready to stay parked here for a good long while. Plan on riding it out until the wheels come off of Finale.

Funny, I just did the same. From Monterey to Sonoma, knowing it will be unavailable once Sequoia drops.

It’s been my MO, stay one (or two) generations behind, and only update just before the next release, usually they are on a .5 or .6 of the current version by then and most relevant software is compatible.

Previous OSen are readily available even after the new version drops, and have always been. You used to need to find the download page on Apple's support site, but these days, you can just search for, e.g., "macOS Ventura" on the App Store, and it will show you the download.

Man, turns out my classic Mac QWERTY keyboard does not work with Sonoma, which is odd because the classic mouse connected via the keyboard continues to operate as before. And I can't figure out how to make the F1-F12 keys behave like oldskool "function" keys?

 

Also, my Echo 20 dock now connects via USB instead of thunderbolt, weird.

 

Not loving the update so far. Considering reverting back to Monterey.

So after some googling I have concluded the USB keyboard thing is not gonna be resolved on Sonoma or future OS'es, but my wife had an Logitech MX Keys lying around and not using it, so that solves my most pressing issue: using the MBP in clamshell mode.

 

Using F1-12 as oldskool function keys can be found in the Keyboard Shortcuts submenu, so that's resolved as well.

 

Remaining mystery is how to get the Echo 20 dock to revert back to Thunderbolt from USB 4.

Thank you for that report sir.  It makes me feel not so bad like I am getting left in the dust.  Then again, once upon a time in the not too distant past, new OSes weren't released EVERY 12 FREAKIN MONTHS.

I was at Best Buy the other day looking for the cheapest Roku they make ($29).  I love the thing.  It has made another ancient TV as useful as the day I got it.  It runs all the apps including Apple TV+.  
 

The Mac mini is the most affordable entry into Mac hardware.  I don’t believe I’ll ever pick another model. Best Buy carries plenty of other brand keyboards, mice and monitors that work just fine with Apple silicon.

I love my Rokus. Have the Premiere in the living room and a TCL Roku TV in the kitchen. Superior to Apple TV in every way except for the ads. And I had remotes go bad on the older ones. 

 

Other than that, Apple TV is just overpriced and honestly not as good. I loved the old ones, still have two of those but they are no longer supported.

 

 

Apple used to be awesome. Now they're lucky the competition is Windows and Android, the combination of which does not offer the same kind of integration. I guess Tim Cook was smart to turn it into a luxury brand, but it is no longer the plucky, innovative company it once was.

 

And they keep claiming green aspirations but planned obsolescence is anything but.

I’ve had Apple TVs.  They get orphaned from updates too quickly for a set top box imho.   I have no 4k TVs, so I passed on replacing it with Apple’s box.  
 

I still prefer macOS and Logic/Mainstage/Final Cut. The family only wants iPhones so I get refurbs and the iPad is pretty indispensable for me gigging wise (also refurb).
