I came to Mac w/ M1 & Monterey but I imagine as apple silicon matures the “obligatory” 12 months before upgrading music production systems will shrink to 3-6 months… I’ll wait at least another 6 mo. before conteplating Sequoia though (call me cautious).
Ya, I’m on an M1 studio as well, running Sonoma, which I updated to about 13 months after it’s initial release… unless you have specific software that hasn’t been updated since Monterey, you’re OK to move past Monterey (with all the usual pre update precautions taken of course).
