Smaart v7, Smaart v7 Di, and the Smaart IO Control Application are not supported in MacOS Catalina 10.15 or newer due to Apple's discontinuation of 32-bit application support. Please do not upgrade your operating system if you plan to continue using these applications on your Apple devices.
*Before upgrading to MacOS 12 (Monterey) or Windows 11, please make sure the audio interface you will be using with Smaart has compatible drivers for the newest operating system. It is critical to ensure your audio device has compatible drivers, as an incompatible driver may not be recognized by Smaart and may cause Smaart to crash.
