    1. When that message pops up, click done.
    2. go to system settings and scroll down on the left bar to privacy and security. Click privacy and security and then Scroll down on the right bar and you should see a message about not being able to open FabFilter
    3. Click ‘open anyway’.
    4. Enter your password, and all should be good. Hopefully.

    To add to pink’s comment, in terminal (the app) copy and paste in this code

    sudo spctl --master-disable


    This is so you won’t get any more of those messages when installing from AudioZ, remember to buy after trying if satisfied with the product:mates:

    Isn't simply right-clicking the file and clicking 'Open' the easiest way to bypass the unknown-developer-protection?

    There is certainly no need to disable SIP..

    telling someone who is new to mac to disable SIP would constitute bad advice.

    Permanently disabling Gatekeeper isn't all that great, either.
