🚀 With the growing adoption of ARM-based processors, you may have noticed new Windows devices running on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, offering better energy efficiency and impressive battery life. As exciting as this sounds, there's an important caveat for professional audio users: software compatibility.
⚠️ Currently, Slate Digital plugins are not compatible with Windows systems running on ARM-based processors like Snapdragon. If you are a Windows user and rely on Slate Digital plugins, we strongly recommend continuing with devices powered by Intel or AMD processors.
🍏 Mac users — you’re all set! Slate Digital plugins work smoothly on both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, and M4) Macs.
🧠 A quick tech refresher: ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processors use a different architecture than the familiar x86 architecture found in most Intel and AMD-based Windows PCs. Originally popular in mobile devices, ARM processors are now making their way into laptops and desktops, bringing a mix of energy savings and new AI-driven features. 🌟 Windows Copilot systems powered by Snapdragon chips are leading this new wave.
