You may even find your plug-ins get updated before your DAW – but the same problem will arise! This means all of your plugins will have to be able to run natively on Apple Silicon before you can use them in a DAW running natively.

Put even more simply, our developer explains that this means you will not be able to mix and match a Native Apple Silicon DAW with Intel-based plugins. What this means is that although you get to decide to run your DAW under Rosetta 2 or Natively on Apple Silicon (if it’s been updated to native) you will not be able to run Intel-based plug-ins under Rosetta 2 in a DAW that is running natively on Apple Silicon (and vice versa). There won't be a native use of live until every plugin you need to work with is converted to native.
