How to Run Bluestacks on a Mac with Big Sur

Are you excited about the latest macOS Big Sur update, but worried about running your favorite Android apps using Bluestacks? You're not alone. While Universal Audio and Native Instruments are still working on ensuring their software is compatible with Apple's new M1 chip-based systems, it's essential to understand the current state of affairs.

In a statement, Universal Audio mentioned that they are thoroughly testing their UA software compatibility with Big Sur and will release updates in the future to ensure full qualification. However, for now, their UAD, Apollo, and LUNA products are not compatible with Big Sur on Apple Silicon-based systems. Similarly, Native Instruments is also conducting systematic tests to offer full compatibility of their software and hardware products as soon as possible.

The issue lies not only in the operating system but also in the new Apple Silicon system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution. This means that even if your music software is compatible with your Mac's hardware, it might not run smoothly on the latest OS.

Currently, few companies beyond Apple (Logic Pro and GarageBand) are fully up to speed with Big Sur compatibility. If you're planning to buy a new Intel Mac, be aware that it will likely come with Big Sur pre-installed, which may cause issues.

The good news is that Pro Tools Expert has created a handy and searchable Big Sur compatibility database for developers. We'll keep this article updated as more information becomes available.
