Hi Everyone. I have a problem on my hands here. It started after i upgraded to Mac OS Sonoma on a Mac Mini M2. Every mp3 export i do has a glitch and when the glitch happens i lose a section of the song. More like a CD glitch. For Wavs there is a millisecond black out. Further more All the mp3 files and Wav files are not readable by any software or player other than Cubase. It’s a bit frustrating. Is anyone getting this problem? ---

Hi, First of all, Cubase 13 doesn’t officially support macOS Sonoma yet. Do you maybe experience [this](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/export-audio-issues-solved/872305) issue? ---

Hi, > [@Kuu](#): > > Yes, it’s ExFAT format. Then the issue is the same, as described in the post, I linked: > [@Martin.Jirsak](#): > > Do you maybe experience [this](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/export-audio-issues-solved/872305) issue? You can solve the issue by using different drive format. ---

Hey Kuu (or Hi Kuu for the poets out there, lol) Rather than formatting your drive to another format, I would leave the ExFAT format and simply spend $4 on this mp3 encoder, which I use and can say is a great tool: > **[‎MP3 Encoder](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mp3-encoder/id409957696?mt=12)** > > ‎MP3 Encoder is an application for converting a variety of audio formats to MP3 using the high quality LAME encoder. It is multi-threaded and will batch convert multiple files at once, up to the number of processor cores your system has. It supports... If you leave it as ExFAT, you can use the drive on Windows computers or other computers without having to worry about legacy file systems or compatibility issues. It’s better to spend the $4 and use a tried and true mp3 encoder that was made for that purpose - also gives you more functions as well, and will be playable on all devices that support mp3. Best of both worlds. So export the WAV from Cubase, then use the above app for the mp3 portion. ---

Hi, In another thread, I was reading a similar issue that is affecting Cubase only in the Native mode. Could you try to start Cubase in the Rosetta mode, for the test, please? ---

Apple is in close contact with us and the issue may be addressed with the 14.1 release. At this point, we can only suggest waiting. Ventura is still a very good alternative to Sonoma. Thank you for your patience!
