Is Traktor Software compatible with Apple M3 chip and Sequoia 15.0

So you cannot roll back to Sonoma? Not familiar with how Mac rollbacks work.
NI has a specific Sequoia page listing relevant updates. Easily searchable.

No. I looked into it and not possible. Ok, I will look for the Sequoia page. Thank You!

its one of those situations where the new Mac Hardware(M3) has a default OS shipped… which in some cases cannot load older OS's….
this is one of the reasons why i dont follow the Hardware upgrade path & stick with the M1 series as you can go backward or forward with OS's… not that there is any major benefit, unless one enjoys all the added fluff that apple add….
Ventura 13.6.5 is my go to OS… for added features in the areas of Audio & video
Big sur 11.2.3 for .Ipa (ipad/iphone)compatibility on m1macminilock them down so they never update!

It's unlikely it'll affect your computer, but as long as you have a Time Machine backup you'll be able to reload it to the point before you installed it. Traktor might not work correctly, but in that case you can just delete it.
What hardware are you using as a controller?

Just a thought, would it be possible to run Sonoma in a virtual machine? (parallels or fusion player)

I am not using a controller. I use the software only. I like the idea of installing Traktor 4 to try and then if it doesn't work deleting it. I am not 100% sure that Traktor will be compatible at some point though so don't want to waste my money. In the meantime does anyone have any ideas, other than crossfade, of how to to fade from one song to another in a play list? I have crossfade on the lowest setting and there is still a gap between some of the songs because of the sound ends before the end of the track. If I could make this work I could use Apple Music until Traktor is compatible.

General comments on Reddit are that it's reasonably stable. If you're not using a controller that's a plus as hardware support often lags software. Give it a try and see how you get on. I can try it on an Intel Mac with Sequoia but that's worlds away from an M3 chip.

I’m planning to update as soon as I feel it’s reasonably safe because I really want Metal 3 and the Rosetta 2 improvements are also cool. In my experience most the Mac updates have not broken stuff for me, I think caution is sensible but some of the issues get overstated.

As of today (this will most likely change later this month) all current Mac models were released before macOS 15 Sequoia. These models are therefore capable of running with macOS 14 Sonoma, as it contains all needed drivers for these models. Even if your Mac was delivered with macOS 15 Sequoia already it is possible to downgrade it to Sonoma.
For this procedure you need a second Mac capable of running Apple Configurator 2 (requires at least macOS 12.4 or newer according to Apple support sites), Apple Configurator 2 (available in Mac App Store), a USB-C cable supporting energy and data transfer (no Thunderbolt cable!) and a macOS 14 restore image for your new MacBook. Did this with my Mac Studio back in the days which already was delivered with Ventura but I still required Monterey for some reason.

No harm in trying if Traktor works under Sequoia. This time round, there are no widespread reports about compatibility issues, going from Sonoma to Sequoia. "Not supported" does not mean that software doesn't work. I'm running Kontakt 8 Player under Sequoia without any issues.
It usually takes 6 to 12 months for NI to announce compatibility with new MacOS version.

It's a real shame they didn't just have a "downgrade to Sonoma/whatever" button for non-tech people, or people who don't have a spare mac kicking around. It's not like Apple won't be aware of compatibility problems with other software!

In Apples world everyone is keen to use the newest and shiniest macOS (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, …). Downgrading to older versions is nothing Apple wants you to do and therefore they will never make this easy and effortless. With the exception of macOS they even actively blocking downgrades by not signing older versions anymore a few weeks after a new release.

That sounds really customer-friendly! 😝

It’s very customer friendly, new OS versions and updates patch security holes and bring new functionality, no one is forced to update, one can stay on whatever OS version their Mac came with.
It is developer-unfriendly, though. And here lies the problem, many developers have trouble with following on how quickly Apple updates things.

Something has to give on this front eventually. I could not imagine being a dev shop and have to put my crew through this year after bloody year. Almost makes one wonder if it is worth the trouble.
