Why did Magix not mention Soundforge for Mac would not work on Catalina. Neither was I - I had several up to date programs broken by a feature update, ie a biannual upgrade, to Windows 10.

I'm talking about something I bought after Catalina was released. I'm not talking about old and outdated software. Īny software company is in the same situation - changing a 32 bit program to 64 bit is not a quick job for programs like Sound Forge - there are a lot of individual components that make up the programs functionality that have to be changed, what you see on the screen is basically the window/control screen for all those parts. And it is the same with every company who sells software, right?. Hopefully Magix and/or Apple are working on this issue with Catalina.Īpple appear to have a policy of planned obsolescence with MACs and the MAC OS, rendering older software redundant and in some cases perfectly good older MACS obsolete - this is also a good way to generate new revenue forcing MAC users into buying new hardware and programs or not upgrading to the latest OS. In the case of Catalina, not only has this dropped 32 bit support, it appears to have introduced other issues that stop some 64 bit programs working correctly. My recommendation would be to always purchase 64 bit software where available, if 64 bit is not available, then I would look for alternatives.
