From what I've gathered, the latest Multimix Firewire drivers you can find online work fine, it's just that the newer macOS operating systems have an advanced security protocol (SIP) that blocks the driver installation process from installing where it needs to be (/System/Library/Extensions). To get around this, you can boot into recovery mode (command+R on restart) and disable SIP via Terminal with the command 'csrutil disable', and install the driver (AlesisFirewire.kext) using Kext Utility app. I've tried variations on this multiple times but haven't been successful yet, and it's sooo frustrating. There was mention of possibly needing to update the firmware on the mixer, but that info is gone and I don't know how to check the firmware version of my MultiMix, nor where or how to get the correct firmware update installed.
This is the latest and most up to date forum post I could find on the subject, and documents macOS Catalina users being able to use these older MultiMix Firewire series mixers. There are also links to most recent drivers and the Kext Utility:
**unable to post links cause I'm new**
Hoping there are other users on here familiar with this and can help me out, or at the very least this info will help others

This has always worked for me and I've never had a problem with it. I recently built a new computer with Windows 7 bit on it and previously Windows Vista I could not for the life of me get my Multimix 12 to work on the alesis firewire multimix 12 PC with Vista, and now that I've upgraded to Win7, whenever I plug in my Multimix to alesis firewire multimix 12 Firewire port, the system freezes instantly and I get a blue screen telling me there was a catastrophic driver failure with the mixer. In fact, it does this on every PC I've tried it on.
