After a number of updates from Apple, testing on our end, and what we've heard from many users, we are now confident that Big Sur will work well for your Mac for live performance. **At this time 1/3/22 Apple has recommended you wait to update your Mac to Monterey OS until at least February to allow them to work out the kinks with the new OS.
We still recommend that you look to the manufacturers of the hardware you rely on to see them give the all clear for Big Sur before you update, especially if you are using Big Sur and an M1 Mac. Some devices are not yet compatible with M1 Macs.
If you want to update your MainStage version, then make sure to backup your current MainStage build first.
Click here and this guide explains exactly how to do so.
If you are updating MainStage to a newer version than you currently have, we strongly recommend that you:
- First create a zipped backup of your current MainStage version: Click here to learn how to do that.
- Then, go ahead and update.
Make sure to do a full Time Machine backup of your system before you update, as that will allow you to revert back to your prior OS if you run into any game-breaking issues.
As always, we strongly advise against using Apple's "Auto Update" feature.
