macOS 11 Big Sur – Composer May Wait
Composer May Wait
macOS Big Sur is the next major release of macOS and the successor to macOS Catalina. If you around long enough you will remember the challenges any compose or producer did face with Catalina. As this time the changes may not be as substantial as with Catalina personally I will wait for the upgrade on my main MAC while updating my MBP.
Many vendors are running currently precise tests with the release version of macOS 11 (Big Sur) to understand if their products and services are fully compatible or if changes need to be released to allow uses to continue to use the products. You have already received many different emails from your product vendors to hold off with the upgrade, if the products that are not tested or certified are relevant to you pls wait with the update.
When Big Sur is released today on November 12, 2020, I would not recommend updating currently as it may render some of your tools to compose or produce useless until the vendor of the tools has updated them or gave a green light that they work on Big Sur.

PreSonus® has released Universal Control 3.4.2, a milestone update to its multi-product control and driver software package that includes full support for Apple Silicon M1-based Mac®computers. All currently supported PreSonus hardware—including all USB audio interfaces (AudioBox and Studio series), Quantum-series Thunderbolt interfaces, StudioLive® mixers (16.0.2 USB, AR series, and Series III), ATOM-series pad controllers, and FaderPort®-series control surfaces—now works natively with M1-based Macs.
Universal Control provides the foundation upon which all FireStudio interfaces and Studio Live Mixers operate when connected to your Mac or PC. Universal Control 3.4.2 includes a firmware update for the PreSonus Quantum 4848 interface and for the company’s ATOM and ATOM SQ pad controllers. ATOM SQ now connects correctly on macOS® Big Sur 11.2 and later. Connectivity has been improved with some Windows® systems, as well.
