No Rosetta option for Logic Pro on new M1 MacBook Pro

I have this great and shiny new MacBook Pro and A bunch of Logic projects for a record I am trying to finish. And a bunch of my plug-ins are not having any of it. Crucially, this includes the Slate VSX system which I use for mixing and the Line 6 Helix Native plug-in that is used to re-amp literally every guitar and bass part on every song.

I installed Rosetta when first promoted to do so. However, there is no Open Using Rosetta checkbox in the Info window for the app.

I still have the 2012 Mac mini I was using for the past couple of years and could go back to using it but I would much rather use the new MacBook Pro. Anyone have any wisdom to offer on forcing Logic to open using Rosetta so I can get my plug-ins back?

(And let's keep in mind that those of us who bought new Macs don't have the option of even backing up to Big Sur to force compatibility. These new Macs *shipped* with Monterey and we all know that Apple took away the ability to install an OS older than the first one installed a very long time ago.)

Any help is super appreciated.

Hola, Bill Evans2,

¿es el complemento que quieres usar de un desarrollador externo? Digo porque Native Instruments, por ejemplo, tiene bastantes que no son compatibles con Monterrey, están trabajando en ello; en cualquier caso, si eres un desarrollador externo que tiene que trabajar en la compatibilidad, tienes que esperar.

¡Saludo!

Solved. Yet another failure of the notification system in macOS. I only got a notification that i had a bunch of apps to be updated *after* I opened the App Store. And I only did that after a super helpful support guy from Slate Digital told me I was running an out of date version after i sent him a screenshot. If you are having this same issue, make sure Logic is updated. After doing that, the option to use Rosetta came back. And at this point *all* of my plug-ins are working. Not natively, but everything works using Rosetta.

Go to your Applications folder --> right click Logic Pro --> click "Get Info" --> check the box for "Open using Rosetta"
