Gig Performer and Mac Catalina (OS X 10.15)

Sep 11, 2019 | Gig Performer Blog, Knowledge Base Articles, OS X, Troubleshooting

macOS Catalina (version 10.15) is the sixteenth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.’s desktop operating system for Macintosh computers. It is the successor to macOS Mojave. It is the first version of macOS to support only 64-bit applications.

Update October 2024: Gig Performer 5 is the latest version of Gig Performer and it will run normally on macOS Catalina. The GP Relayer plugin will also run on this operating system.

Apple notarized Gig Performer to run in Catalina.

As of version 3.6, Gig Performer itself runs perfectly fine in this operating system. You will most likely get this prompt to allow access to the Microphone and you must allow this.

Gig Performer.app on Catalina would like to access the microphone. Allow it.

The prompt is a little bit misleading, as it really is asking permission to allow any audio input which includes vocals or guitar coming from your external audio interface, not your Mac’s internal Microphone. For more information, see this article about no audio.

However, be very careful about using plugins that have not yet been updated to work in Catalina. Various plugin companies have issued statements recommending that users do not upgrade to Catalina just yet.
