Serato And Big Sur

Currently the Mac Audio Driver for Pioneer’s Rekordbox fails to install on Big Sur. This is because Big Sur has upgraded to perl 5.28, which restricts the way it reads files. See Error’s below on this.

The good news is that your system should also include perl 5.18. However it’s difficult to change versions, without downgrading the system security around /usr. So instead of changing defaults, I’ve chosen to instead update the Driver installer file.

The following Shell script will download the ddj-1000 Driver from Pioneer’s website, update the script that’s throwing the error to use perl5.18 instead of the system’s default 5.28, and generate a new installation file that you can then execute.

Note: When executing the new installer, it will prompt you to allow installation of the file, which, if you haven’t done so already, will require an unlock to allow inside of your System Preferences/Security & Privacy settings.

To Use:

1. Copy and Paste the script below, into a text editor, and save as update-pioneer.sh in your Downloads Folder.
2. Open your terminal, and change the permissions on the file, so that it’s executable, by running the following shell command:
   cd Downloads; chmod 755 update-pioneer.sh
3. Execute the file by running the following command:
   ./update-pioneer.sh
4. This should generate a file called: updated-ddj-1000-driver.pkg
5. Next run the installer by executing it from Finder, or running open updated-ddj-1000-driver.pkg from the terminal

This should get your driver working on Big Sur Intel based Mac. Unfortunately, it’s only partially working on my Big Sur M1 at the moment

M1 Observations

• The DDJ-1000 controller no longer complains about “No Audio Driver” on the Jog Wheel
• It can show the track that’s playing, etc.
• But does not show up under Sound options

Mac users waiting to upgrade their operating systems to Big Sur, and those who have or are thinking of buying the new M1 Macs, have some good news today: Both Pioneer DJ and Traktor have announced that their DJ software and hardware is fully compatible with the latest Mac OS.

Pioneer DJ/Rekordbox users

Rekordbox Won't Open

For Pioneer DJ and Rekordbox users, all hardware and software works with both Big Sur and the M1 Macs following the announcement.

The only thing to bear in mind is that if you use a driver with your hardware, you’ll need to update that driver to the Big Sur version – but apart from that, you’re good to go.

Traktor users

Meanwhile, Traktor has announced Traktor Pro 3.4.1, which broadly brings the same thing for Traktor users.

Traktor software and hardware is now compatible with both Big Sur and the Apple M1 Macs, but note that if you’re a Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 owner, you’ll need to be running Big Sur 11.2 or higher – all other Traktor hardware works fine with any version of Big Sur.

Other DJ software

Virtual DJ and Algoriddim’s djay Pro AI users have had compatibility since last year for both Big Sur and the M1 Macs – but Serato DJ users should still hold off pending an official announcement from Serato, before making a hardware or software switch.
