macOS 14 Sonoma Software Support
Engine DJ
The Engine DJ software is a crucial part of the Engine hardware ecosystem and many of the units rely on the software for key functionality.
Our Engine hardware product owners will be happy to know the Engine DJ Desktop software is fully supported for use on macOS Sonoma, both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. For more details and required system specs, please visit the Engine Prime desktop software download page:
IMPORTANT: For the Engine DJ Desktop software to be able to access external storage devices, the application must be granted access to removable drives. Navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Files and Folders > Engine Prime > check off the box next to Removable Volumes.

Software Partners
Many of our products are dependent on software for all functionality and control while the device is connected to a computer. Our products may be considered "supported" for an operating system, but will not be functional until software support is also available. So, It is crucial that you weigh software compatibility before choosing to update your system.
Please check with the developers for your preferred software titles for the latest in Sonoma compatibility before choosing to update. We've listed a few key titles below for your convenience.
| Software | macOS 14 Support |
|---|---|
| Serato DJ Pro | Supported with version 3.1.0 |
| Serato DJ Lite | Supported with version 3.1.0 |
| Virtual DJ | Supported |
| Native Instruments Traktor Pro | Supported |
| Algoriddim djay Pro 2/AI | Supported |
How do I prevent my system from updating automatically?
Please be sure to check that your operating system is not enabled to update itself automatically. While this can be a useful feature for some, anyone that relies on the stability of their software and hardware tools should prefer control over which base operating system is installed on their system. Automatic updates will not account for software compatibility before updating which could lead to problems with stability and other functionality if your gear is not ready for the changes in the operating system.
To avoid any delays or downtime, it's best to be deliberate with the decision to update and use the opportunity to check that all your software and hardware tools will be compatible before making the jump. To turn off automatic updates for macOS, please do the following:
1) Navigate to System Settings > Software Update
2) Uncheck the box next to Automatically keep my Mac up to date.
