Installation Troubleshooting

Mac on Apple Silicon: Unknown System Error -86

If you encounter this error, it's because SoundBase Pro contains a component that uses x86 architecture and needs Rosetta to function. Here's how to fix it:
  1. Close SoundBase Pro and install Rosetta.
  1. The simplest way to install Rosetta is by opening Terminal and typing: softwareupdate --install-rosetta.
  1. Accept the terms by typing 'A' and then pressing enter.
  1. Once Rosetta is installed, reopen SoundBase Pro.

How to Delete the Application

If you need to delete SoundBase Pro, follow these steps:
  1. On MacOS, go to your Applications folder and delete the SoundBase Pro application.
  1. Open Finder, click on the "Go" menu, and hold the option key to show the Library folder.
  1. Go to the Library > Preferences folder. If you don't see the Library in the "Go" menu, go to your Home folder, use the [command + shift + .] shortcut to see hidden folders, then go to the Library > Preferences folder.
  1. Delete both "SoundBase Pro" and "SoundBasePro" folders.

Using Dev Tools for Troubleshooting

If SoundBase support asks you to open Dev Tools in SoundBase Pro, please follow these steps:
  1. Press F12 or navigate to the View menu and select "Toggle Developer Tools". This step is applicable if you're using a Mac.
  1. The tools will appear within the app, either at the bottom or on the right side of the window.
