I know a LOT of you are chomping at the bit to hit that bleeding edge and upgrade your studio rig to Yosemite within hours/days/weeks after release.
Historically, most DAWs and related music apps (plug-ins, VSTs, etc) are not fully supported the day that Apple releases a new OS.
So before you upgrade, please take a moment to make sure all of your software apps, plus your hardware (and related drivers) have all been tested and certified Yosemite-compatible before you make the move. Note that IF your music apps get certified as compatible with Yosemite, that compatibility may require you to install an updater or a patch.
Sure...you may luck out and certain basic functions may work, but as you dig deeper into your projects, you'll start finding things that don't work/don't work correctly....or you'll even start to have lockups.
The folks at Pro-Tools-Expert.com have put together a list of about 8 top names and initial compatibility reports. You can read more here:

UPDATE 23Oct2014: I just stumbled across a more comprehensive Yosemite compatibility thread on DAWs/plugs/VSTs and music hardware from the folks at Sweetwater: http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/yosemite-mac-os-x-10-10-compatibility-information/
I've been getting emails all week from many of the vendors whose products I own - giving me the latest updates & compatibility reports. Here are some of the links & information that I've collected thus far:
AVID/Pro Tools, Euphonix/EUCON (not compatible yet):
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/...ia-Composer-Pro-Tools-Sibelius-EUCON-and-ISIS
Waves plugins (UPDATE 23Oct2014: Compatible!): http://www.waves.com/osx-yosemite
Digital Performer (working but requires an update to 8.0.7): http://www.motu.com/newsitems/motu-and-os-x-yosemite
Focusrite audio interfaces (FW/USB), audio plugs, and misc devices (some working, some not): http://us.focusrite.com/answerbase/...e=emailCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=
Native Instruments plugins & hardware (plugs yes, hardware - depends - maybe): http://www.native-instruments.com/e...3/mac-os-x-10.10-yosemite-compatibility-news/
Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Trillian, & Stylus RMX (should work - make sure you have latest versions of your software): http://www.spectrasonics.net/support/knowledgebase_view_topic.php?id=592&categoryID=84
Good luck & happy music making!!
