I lost access to decades of my albums which can no longer open on my MacBooks. Some open partially running Ableton Live with Rosetta. My record label recently reached out asking for stems for an old song for a sync deal with Rocket League — after spending a week trying to revive the old sessions I concluded that it was impossible and they were forever lost thanks to apples complete abandonment of backwards compatibility. It’s heart breaking really.
Could you not open the project on a windows computer or older mac?
I also think current Native Instruments luncher "Native Access" still requires rosetta for the installation :)))
I was foolish enough to use Audio Units instead of VSTs back then… and even my oldest mac isn’t old enough. I managed to make a portable installer with the right Mac version and tried containerizing it but gave up after a couple days.
