I see Reason listed for the 7za library. So all they should have to do is update that lib. For now, I doubt R10 works on Catalina.

They are still testing. I took the leap, anyway, to Catalina. There are minor issues with mouse click beeps during song-saving when I change directories, and my UJAM Drummer auto-starts after loading a song with it but before hitting play. Weird enough, but otherwise, I'm making music and everything else seems OK.

It didn't really help that Apple decided to change the rules somewhere in between by changing even more stuff.

Trust me: it's not the Props' fault. I see the same anxiety in the Native Instruments forums (which I also started to frequent recently) because they also advice users to steer clear from Catalina until further notice.

Seriously... If you want stability and reliability you should not pursue the latest stuff and updates in the first place. Let it sink in, let others find the bugs and wait 2 - 3 months before upgrading. This is what I always do for my servers. The latest these days is most often far from the "greatest".

Running a installed Reason 10 under Catalina. No Problems. Installing Reason 11 is not possible because Apple causes a Error not able to scan the installer file. What ever this means.

Hopefully we get soon a update, because I want to proceed a clean Install of Catalina to get rid of all the waste from installed and uninstalled software.

I'm having an issue on Catalina when saving any Reason song file: every mouse click while browsing directories in the "Save" Finder window produces a "beep" as if something is in error. I also cannot resize that Finder window. This is only happening in Reason Studio 11.1, not other Mac programs in Catalina. I even downloaded and resintalled Reason Studio to be sure and this issue persists. Anyone else confirm? I'll contact Support but curious if other Mac users are seeing this?

I'm using Reason 10.4 with macOS Catalina on a late 2013 Mac Book pro i7 16Gb with no problems other than I can't register new or upraded REs - Authoriser reports the error "Download Failed". The REs which have failed are no longer available for selection in Reason 10.4
As Reason 11.1 is already notarized and ready for macOS Catalina, i don't think it will be too long before we see a Reason 10.4/Authoriser update

Question for those of you brave enough to have taken the plunge! Does upgrading to Catalina mean that unsupported apps will no longer *install*, but if they're already on your system, they'll continue to work? Or is it the case that a whole bunch of things I rely on will just stop working?

Mostly it's just a handful of 32-bit file utilities and renamers. But they're so good/useful I can't be without them, for work.

Also can anyone tell me if I'll still be able to download and install a version of iTunes to continue running scripts for library management/exporting/conversion/etc.? Also need this for work. Cheers!

Todays 10.4.1 has fixed the Catalina issues above. New and upgraded REs now registered in Authoriser and available for selection in Reason

Any 32-bit app simply will not run under Catalina, whether previously installed or not. I knew this before upgrading to Catalina. However, I got fooled thinking my Photoshop CS6, which is 64-bit, would continue to operate. But unbeknownst to myself and most Photoshop CS6 owners, we later discovered that the Adobe Authorizer was only 32-bit, so Photoshop just would not function in Catalina because the Authorizer would not run. Later, I explored installing Mojave in a Virtual Machine to run 32-bit apps again, but I decided instead to simply buy a Samsung T5 500GB SSD, install Mojave on it, and use it to run Photoshop and any other older 32-bit apps. Works like a charm, except that you have to reboot, but the SSD is fast so the boot time is not so painful.
