Does Audacity Work With Catalina

broken image


In early October Apple released its latest operating system 10.15.x known as Catalina.
Audacity
Audacity 2.3.3 is not officially supported yet to run under Catalina (the new version 2.4.0 does run properly on Catalina)

Fortunately there is a workaround .
if you have updated to Catalina and still need to use Audacity for recording as well as all its other functionality:
1) Go to Applications > Utilities
2) Launch Terminal.app
3) in the Terminal dialog type the following command following command:
open /Applications/Audacity.app/Contents/MacOS/Audacity
This will open Audacity and then Terminal will actually ask for the correct permissions.
this assume that Audacity is stored in your Applications folder. If it is somewhere else, you will need to change the path in the above command:
open /*location of audacity*/Audacity.app/Contents/MacOS/Audacity
When you first try to record, you will be asked to grant access to the microphone - similar happened in 1.14 Mojave - but microphone access permissions granted in Mojave do not pass through to Catalina. Once you have granted this access in Catalina you should not be asked for it again when relaunching Audacity with this workaround method.
If you leave Audacity active (black dot) in the bottom dock you can just relaunch from the Audacity logo.

Does Audacity Work On Mac

If you totally quit Audacity you will need to relaunch from the Terminal app again every time.
I have tested this workaround on my MacBook Pro after upgrading to 1.15 Catalina last night - where it now records properly by launching from Terminal.
Finally: credit for providing this useful workaround must go to Forum user noraa - very much appreciated, thanks Noraa.

Please also note that versions of Audacity 2.3.0 and earlier will not run under Catalina as they are 32-bit Audacity builds - and Apple have made Catalina so that it will not run 32-bit applications.
