Note: the macOS 10.15+ macOS download is notarized and uses the "hardened runtime," which may reduce compatibility with certain plug-ins. You may still run the regular 64-bit macOS download on macOS 10.15 - macOS 14; however, you must shift+right click and choose "Open" when running that version for the first time.

REAPER 7.16: I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
