AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRed 3 Compressor is an AudioUnit plugin, not a standalone app — it must be updated through its host application and Focusrite's plugin management tools, not through the App Store or a direct download. Focusrite plugins are typically updated via Focusrite's official plugin manager or by reinstalling the latest plugin bundle from Focusrite's website. Contact Focusrite support or visit their site to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version of Red 3 Compressor is available, as Intel-only audio plugins will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If a native build is not yet available, ask Focusrite for an expected timeline for Apple Silicon support.
