Version 2024 BIAB (build 806) still works flawlessly (via Rosetta 2).
If I understand correctly, support on Macs with software running on Rosetta may no longer be supported in 1-2 years (but I assume BIAB would still work for a while). I plan to upgrade soon as BIAB goes native on the Silicon Macs.

There are discussion threads on this. Apple has announced that Rosetta 2 will end Oct 2027 (unless they kick the can as they’ve done before) and Intel Macs will no longer be supported. PG Music has told us that BIAB will not be ARM Native before that happens. There are too many users who will not abandon their Intel hardware just to stay current with the macOS and BIAB — same thing happened when 32bit was dropped in 2019.

Something similar happened in the world of pro studios. Over half the studios and mastering houses I deal with are happily running Pro Tools on a Mac Pro 5.1 (cheesegrater) or 6.1 (trashcan). These houses are still doing ok, collecting their Grammys and servicing their clients in the music business. AVID cannot be happy that some of the top names aren’t staying current. They can’t do everything their clients need, of course, but they are staying busy enough that farming out some tasks to niche providers like me makes good business sense.
