Great advice. I worked as a SysAdmin for years and eventually got back into recording and because of my SysAdmin background I was the IT guy for the Media department. Basically never update a production computer unless the update has a fix your sys has to have. Then if possible build a test computer like your production system and test the update on it before ever installing it on a production system. As John Paul said.... If it ain't broke don't fix it. It's a good policy for home computers too. Enjoy your working computer having to rebuilt production computers are a major pain, not only the rebuild process, but all the people yelling at you "when are you going to be done???" every five minutes.
This is great advice! Always make sure your mission-critical software is compatible before updating the OS. I always wait until at least the ".1" OS release if I can, for both the OS vendor and the software makers to work out the kinks. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for the advice. Production Expert is my go to as well. cheers !
It's really simple, really GOOD ADVICE that a lot of people will ignore. I've gone through many situations where upgrading 'because newer should be better!' is just simply not true if it doesn't work as intended!
Came here after getting a new M1 Mac Mini and loaded Sonoma on it thinking may as well start clean with the latest OS. It's been having a lot of issues especially when connecting external drives. So much so that it suddenly cut power while a spinning hard drive powered by the USB port was connected, causing it to de-power, the repower up within 1 second (that can't be good for a classic spinning HDD). If the HDD is dead it would sting a lot due to the data loss because of course, I haven't backed up like the silly person that I am...
The thing is I should of known this, but my old Mac is just humming along for years and years on Mojave (at least 4+ years old) and I'd forgotten that new releases of MacOS have been quite buggy in the past (I had a terrible experience with an old build of Leopard 10.5.0 for example that was largely fixed by 10.5.2 or so).
Don't update unless you need it for whatever reason or you don't depend on your computer to be stable and predictable. Now this is never a guarantee, but less likely to have issues on older and more mature software.
Thank you for this!! I’m about to get the M2 Mac Studio and needed to know which OS to have installed!! 🎉🎉
Great Vid John! does this still apply today May 2024? Or should i keep waiting?
Hello from Down Under John :) Quick question, often when we're prompted to update, things start getting wonky in Logic if we don't, what then?
Yes, Sonoma Draining battery like crazy, I regret upgrading it.
Correct. Good advice.
Great video and thanks for your time creating this. Today, I bought a Mac Mini (M1) strictly for DJ use with Serato. I have 16 GB of memory and 2 TB of SSD storage. I just checked the Serato release notes that say it's compatible with Sonoma OS. I'm not sure what OS the Mac will ship with being that I bought it Apple Refurb. Hopefully jumping straight to Sonoma is the right chess move! Thanks again for your insight!!!
I purchased beginning of 2023 my first Mac , OS Ventura. Running Ableton Live and lots of plugins, I just upgraded to Sonoma and I am happy I did, Ableton runs faster as it was in Ventura. During my time on windows, I had a lot of headaches. I learned with windows, never run an old computer, hacking the system to make it work.
I updated to Mac os 14 and my logic is crashing when I turn on flex pitch .. any suggestion please
I have a 2011 macmini been going well in Bitwig bit its stuck at Catalina. Ive been thinking of getting a new mini M series for last year or so then I saw a company was selling a Macstudio M1 Max and was over $500 cheaper than the M2 which really isnt much faster Id never notice but the point is I saved a ton of money and it came with Ventura NOT Sonoma which to me was a big plus as I knew the audio drivers worked for my Fantom 0 and other gear with no issues so save money if you can buy one step back and get one step back in the OS at the same time. win win. cheers bro
Thanks man!
If you are on a project and you update major OS version e.g. 12 - 14, you are creating additional project of optimising whatever was working fine before. It is okay to stick with the same OS version for even 3-4 years enough time to trade in new laptop. Just upgrade minor versions e.g. 12.5 - 12.7
Hey John so I am still running on Catalina 2019 I believe. I am scared to death to update my Mac but I keep hearing that Kontakt 7 needs an updated MacOS 11 or something and that my plugins should be fine. What should I do ?
Hey , i updated to mac os 14 and my logic crashes everytime when i turn flex pitch.. should i update logic pro also ? What should i do
damn bruh, I need izotope, and they didn't update it yet for Ventura, that's mad frustrating so idk if I wanna lose those plugins just for this update.....
I saw this video too late. I updated and now my macbook 2023 has all sorts of problems
The same here 😩
I updated my Intel 16 Mac to Sonoma 14.2 and it is not charging plugged in, and restarts randomly. I literally can't use my Mac for work now. Trying to find a solution for last two days.

I found a solution. Check out the video titled "Downgrade from macOS Sonoma to Ventura on M1 & M2 Macs! (3 DIFFERENT WAYS!)" from Mr. Macintosh@@mairissvigers6981

I just pulled my Mac mini M1 out of the closet. It’s running Monterey and I was wondering if I should update to Sonoma. I’m not sure if I should, I edit videos every now and then using iMovie and haven’t had any issues.
Sage advice!
Why does My session sputter when I first start it up and try to play, could it be Kontakt?
Thank you ❤
Is arturia's interface and midi s are compatible with sonoma
Real Update to Ventura .... or better to complete reinstall everything on Ventura? I'm on Monterey.
I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place because I am terrified of updating my Mac but there’s so many things I can’t get on my mac because the OS is so outdated. I’m still running on Catalina but there’s things like OBS studio and other programs I would like to use but I can’t. What the hell do I do
I went down the unfortunate path of upgrading to an M3 Pro, and I regret it right now because none of my plugins work. But, I can still jam out and hash ideas out to friends and bring along my setup to jam using Archetype plini as a stand-alone app still
I'm struggling having an issue when I connect my Maschine MK3 as a sound interface I cannot turn the System volume up/down somehow I'm using 12.01 montery mac OS 2020Apple suppoet said I have to update but I have a Cracked LOGIC ProX does it make sense to update I'm worried about logic pro
How about now? I know that UA plugins are ok with Sonoma, but not so sure about Waves and others...
Mhh, I was randomly updating to sonoma. I have the feeling my plugins loading a little bit faster. I'm using ableton. No issues at all.
too late. I can't open Logic Pro x or garageband. im kllg myself...
Ventura or Monterey ?
More reason why you should become a hybrid music producer or just stay mostly analog with the use of audio digital convertor. Also I have told people that the new concept of these digital suppliers is that they will start discontinuing support for their older hardware devices, software and force you to buy their latest hardware device with the latest software. So, if you had the audio analog hardware devices you would not have had to replace it for years. In the long run you will have spent a lot of money on upgrades. And guess what, your software that is not supported is something that you can't hold in your hand and neither is it something to sell become it's just digital 1s and 0s. My advice it to stay analog as much as possible and don't get caught in the digital software trap.
I Screwed the Pooch. Is there a way I can Reformat my Intel Mac mini to an Older operating system? Sonoma is Glitching out all my Apps. I just wanted the new Sampler in Logic, But now Im getting TAL sampler. Apple ruined my Music Career in the 90's When I was using Cubase on a Power PC Clone Mac. Updated to os 8 and the computer self destruct. Apple Strikes again.
I wish I would’ve saw this yesterday my Native Instruments product is trash right now
Kontakt version 7.6.1 also on its own caused big CPU Spike problems. Any version 7.7 and above are good.
Love the boca on this video bro. I thought you used a green screen.
Lol thanks!

Thanks i saw this late😅😅😅😅

Sonoma almost broke my MacBook Pro
Basically just stick with Monterey or Mojave. You're welcome.
rip to my google drive gang that updated to Sonoma
I lost the possibility to use everything because of this upgrade lmao TOTAL SHIT!
I've made the gravest mistake , it's true. Sonoma is pure trash especially on intel, simply performance wise. Don't ever upgrade if you got intel
Don’t know why you have to keep saying this every time 😂
Lololol Eggsactly lol
crack user ?
😅
Sanoma is a dog-
