Deco is an audio unit (AU) plugin made by Strymon, a boutique effects manufacturer known for high-end pedals and software emulations. The Deco plugin delivers vintage tape saturation, wobble, and modulation effects designed to add warmth and character to recordings. It is used by recording engineers, producers, and musicians in digital audio workstations (DAWs) on macOS. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of the Deco plugin exists and has been confirmed running natively on M-series Macs. To get the native version, visit Strymon's download page or use their update tool if you have one installed. Since Deco is an audio unit plugin, it is updated through your host DAW's plugin manager or by running Strymon's installer directly — not through the Mac App Store. Download the current Deco installer from Strymon's website, run it, and your DAW will automatically discover and load the native version on next launch. If your DAW includes a built-in plugin updater or manager (like Logic Pro's AU manager, Ableton Link plugin browser, or a third-party plugin manager), you may also see Deco available for update there. After updating, rescan your DAW's plugin cache to ensure the native build is recognized, and the old Intel version will no longer be used.
