Daslight4
Daslight4 is a lighting control and management software for macOS, designed for DJs, live event technicians and stage professionals who need to program and operate stage lighting fixtures and effects. It provides a graphical interface for configuring DMX lighting rigs, building cue sequences, and controlling fixtures in real-time during performances. The app interfaces with industry-standard DMX hardware and lighting equipment commonly found in clubs, theatres and concert venues.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDaslight4 currently lacks a stable, fully native Apple Silicon build. Forum discussions from 2022 indicate that the official release crashes on Apple Silicon Macs due to Intel-specific components that have not been properly optimized for arm64, and beta versions shipped at that time were also unstable. There is no clear evidence of recent updates or a roadmap to native Apple Silicon support. As a lighting control tool with active hardware dependencies, you should contact Daslight directly to ask whether a native build is planned and when it might ship — especially given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), after which an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely. If native support is not forthcoming, consider researching alternative lighting control software such as QLab (from Figure 53, which has native Apple Silicon support) or other DMX control software that explicitly advertises native M-series Mac compatibility, since you will need a working solution before the Rosetta 2 removal deadline.
