Overbridge & macOS Big Sur

So I should partition my computer, re-install Ableton and all vsts on the partition and then I can use Overbridge? You are joking right?

Iā€™d guess itā€™s more of a friendly work around than a joke.

I know and thank you for the advice - just getting a bit frustrated with this nothing against any of you guys

I didnā€™t tell you to do anything my friend. Just giving an option that some folks might want to explore and of course others wonā€™tā€¦

Iā€™m actually stoked on the idea of a Mojave/Catalina dual boot because I feel Mojave is more of a polished end of an era OS before Catalina starts making changes and is more experimental, Mojave is quite stable and can run 32bit apps. Catalina is required however to run the latest Logic and other software Iā€™m sure will follow. Iā€™m going to try to share sound libraries and other things to minimize double installsā€¦

In case people have already read my comment and are indeed interested, Iā€™ve now attached a warning, do your own research, make a backup, proceed at your own risk, etcā€¦ As I realize its a drastic thing to do and I canā€™t guarantee it will work or that ypu wont lose dataā€¦

Why do you need OB so badly. You can use audio/midi over usb. The only difference is that you canā€™t record 8 channels at the same time. It is slightly more work, since you need to record channels separately. But that is only 8-10minutes. Rest is same.

Iā€™m checking Elektronā€™s IG feed and the forum everyday for the Big Sur fix, but I have to say, I have zero beef with Elektron for the wait. It sure sux for everyone, but I donā€™t doubt for a second that they are on this and doing it right, and want to get this out as much as everyone here.

I definitely learned a lesson not to upgrade my OS X until I know what the launch paths are for my audio setups.

One thing though, Iā€™d love it if Elektron had a more open way to allow users to try the beta. It was only offered somewhere within this mega thread, and I missed out. Surely they can just have a dedicated post or page for willing beta users?

I think they already had more than enough users. If you allow a lot of people then it will put a massive strain on the testers. In order to keep up with all the findings. And most probably there will be a lot of duplicates. Hence it doesnā€™t make sense to add more people than required.

I have tried to suss this work around out but so far I have been unsuccessful.
I know this is a lot to ask but would you be able to upload a video or a detailed explanation on how to do this? I would be mega grateful as I really want to record into Ableton. Thanks in advance.

OB saves four audio connections. My Interface has six inputs - without OB Iā€™d have to get a mixer or a new interface. Also with OB I can get each track separately into my DAW.

Will the beta work for an Intel Mac too? If so, Iā€™d love to try it too!

Iā€™m on:
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
Processor: 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
Memory: 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Iā€™m on Catalina today, but will upgrade to Big Sur as soon as you say youā€™re ready. All the other plugin developers I rely on (Universal Audio, Genelec, Native Instruments, Izotope, Soundtoys, Fabfilter, Celemony, Eventide, Moog, Novation, etc.) have supported Big Sur for a while now, but Iā€™ve been holding out to maintain Elektron compatibility with Logic Pro as Iā€™m fairly invested in your ecosystem too at this point (DN, DT, A4MKII, ARMKII).

Thanks!

Hi,

Beta group is already closed. Whether it will work on intel/M1 etc that is not clear yet. Will need to wait for the release

Hello Elektronauts!

Since the beta is Closed, and only device I have is BigSur M1 MacBookPro I need to ask:

"Is there any date set for the release?"

Thank you,
Jan

Elektron rarely pre-announces release dates and has not so far done so for this release.

@Elektron ā€” Help manage our expectations here. Is it going to be 1 week, 1 month, another 6 months until this is resolved?

The wait is one thing, not bringing us on the journey and helping us understand the challenges youā€™re facing and what the timeframe looks like is another.

I agree - we need some perspective here, the waiting is as bad as the pandemicā€¦ I started using Big Sur beta in July last yearā€¦ (I know -my problem at that time), but Big Sur is now out and Elektron should have had access to developer version almost a year ago. In fact they should be working on the next macOS and Apple silicon Macs now.

I certainly agree with the first partā€¦
