Apple’s new M1 processor-based computer systems look set to kickstart a revolution in artistic computing with a groundbreaking mixture of efficiency and effectivity. Nonetheless, whereas the Rosetta 2 translation layer that allows software program written for Intel processors for use on Apple Silicon is spectacular in its velocity and stability, it’s not till that software program is optimized for native deployment that the total potential of Apple Silicon could be realized.
Spearheading that optimization within the professional audio sector, FabFilter is proud to announce the introduction of Apple Silicon compatibility throughout its whole catalog.

And drawing on their in depth expertise of porting to iPad, the corporate didn’t cease there, happening to optimize CPU utilization throughout their product line particularly for M1.
“We’ve been making plugins for iOS for years, so we have been already acquainted with ARM processors and have achieved lots of ARM-specific optimization work over time,” says FabFilter co-founder Frederik Slijkerman.
“Porting that to the Apple Silicon Mac was a comparatively simple and fast course of, however, in fact, we took the time to additional fine-tune our code to tailor it to the brand new M1 processors.”
