Could not load dynamic library "libjack.dylib"

Question

I'm trying to install JACK on MacOs for use in Bitwig. I appear to have JACK installed correctly, but am getting the error:

could not load dynamic library "libjack.dylib"

This is all the error information I have. Any idea what's going on?

UPDATE 1: Found a trail https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues/640

There may be some issues between using Jack2 and the original Jack for OSX... though my version appears to be 1.9.20.

UPDATE 2: Tried installing both the intel and universal versions of 1.9.20, same issue for both

UPDATE 3: /urs/local/lib/libjack.dylib exists

Answer 1

Got this email in response from support:

Hello,

we're sorry, but since the security changes for macOS Catalina Bitwig Studio does not work with JACK audio on macos. What exactly are you trying to do that can't be achieved with Coreaudio?

Best regards,

Bitwig Technical Support Team

But, as it turns out, CoreAudio on MacOS has the features I needed from JACK already. Try searching applications for "Audio MIDI Setup" to see if it works for you.
