AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe current Intel-only version of ocenaudio continues to run under Rosetta 2, but Apple is removing Rosetta from macOS in September 2028 (macOS 28), at which point this Intel build will stop launching entirely. The search results confirm that the latest version (3.18.2) is available as a Mac 64-bit build and file listings reference "ocenaudio_universal_3.18.2.dmg", which suggests the vendor may be distributing a Universal Binary. However, the Does It ARM community database reports no confirmed native Apple Silicon sightings yet. Contact the ocenaudio developer directly at their website to confirm whether version 3.18.2 or a forthcoming release includes native Apple Silicon support, and if so, download and install the latest build. If native support remains unavailable when you need to upgrade to macOS 28, consider alternatives such as Audacity (free, open-source, native Apple Silicon support), Adobe Audition (paid subscription, native support), or Reaper (paid, native support) — all are actively maintained and run natively on M-series Macs.
