Why should creators wait for RODE firmware updates before upgrading to MacOS Ventura according to James Hicks?

I recommend that creators wait for RODE’s firmware updates before jumping to macOS Ventura mainly for stability and workflow protection.

When Apple ships a new OS, audio interfaces, mixers, and apps (like the RODECaster Pro II, Rode Connect, etc.) can have driver and compatibility issues. Until RODE releases and validates new firmware, you risk broken routing, random disconnects, or full-on loss of functionality in the middle of client work or live streams.

By waiting, you let RODE test and patch everything first, so your production setup stays reliable and you are not troubleshooting instead of creating.

Are you currently using a RODECaster or another RODE device with your Mac?
