If you use a Mac be aware the upcoming Catalina update will possibly cause issues for audio software and hardware. The linked article is mostly about pro recording gear. At least a few people here use an RME or similar units. So hold off on the update until manufacturers work out the kinks. I received emails on some of the gear I own warning me to wait until they have new software to work with Catalina.

Great tip, @Blumlein 88. These things happen every few years in the MAC world. I remember when Power PC architectures were dropped and, with it, a lot of hw/sw incompatibilities emerged.

I'm not affected because I'm using an older MBP for a music server (my newer MBP is in strategic reserve to replace it soon)... but this is massively useful for anyone using a new Mac for audio work.
