Default Mbox family driver support for Mac OS Catalina

Will there be updated drivers for Mac OS Catalina? This is a very good product and still is one of the best audio interfaces.

Default MBox 3 Pro w/ Catalina

Anyone tried it with Catalina and know if it works?

According to the End of Life date for the Mbox 3 Pro,

http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...-support-dates

March 1, 2020 is the end of support date. That would mean we should expect a driver for the interface to work on Catalina right? I still love this thing and the utility/buttons it offers, and I have jumped through some hoops to keep it in my setup. Would be sad to have to replace it

Can't say for the hardware but would guess not,

I logged a support ticket for this, and also posted on Avid Link. Let's not get our hopes up. The support could be interpreted by Avid as hardware support. But you never know...

On the long list of issues we'll likely have with Catalina, this probably falls somewhere in the middle.

I have Mbox 3 Pro. I just tried Catalina OS and the result was Pro Tools 2019.12 could no longer recognize Mbox Pro. Mbox Pro was not an option in the Playback Engine dropdown.

Do I have to ditch my MBOX?

What are my options?

Any info on this would be really helpful. Thanks

In my home studio, I have ordered a Metric Halo LIO-8/4p to replace the MBox Pro 3. It doesn't seem like a Catalina driver is coming. Your options are stay on Mojave or lower, or replace your audio interface.

Default Re: Mbox family driver support for Mac OS Catalina

Hi everybody,

A week ago I updated my Mac to Catalina, and my audio interface is the Mbox 3 Pro.
To be honest everything work just fine, no issues at all so far.
So, if you have the Mbox 3 Pro and thinking of updating the Mac to Catalina, do a backup and give it a go! It should be working, and if it doesn't you can simply use Time Machine.
Again, I'm working right now on my PT HD 2019, iMac 2017, Catalina 10.15.3 using Avid Mbox 3 Pro... All good!

this is fake information, because drivers for firewire from mboxpro 3 do not support on catalina and where does the backup copy?

You can believe it or not, but I am working using the Mbox 3 pro and Catalina, and it works! I don's see the point of giving you a fake information.
