Show Buddy Active
Show Buddy Active is an Audio Unit (AU) plugin developed by Dbaudioware. It functions as an audio processing module that integrates into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and other AU-compatible host applications on macOS such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, and third-party DAWs that support the AU plugin format. Like all AU plugins, it is not a standalone application but rather a component that runs within a host application's environment.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionShow Buddy Active is an Audio Unit plugin component, not a standalone app, so it is updated through your host DAW or audio application, not separately. To check whether Dbaudioware has released a native Apple Silicon build, visit the Dbaudioware website directly and look for an updated version of the plugin or an installer tool. If your DAW (such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, or your third-party DAW) has been updated to a current native Apple Silicon build, native AU plugins from updated vendors often follow. If Dbaudioware has not yet published a native build, your Intel AU plugin will continue to run under Rosetta 2 for now, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), so the plugin will stop loading on that release unless Dbaudioware ships a native build before then. Check Dbaudioware's website or contact the vendor directly to confirm their native Apple Silicon support timeline.
