Hey,
Last night in the middle of the dance set I got a message that VDJ was requesting access to something. I don't recall the details, but it said something about keeping data separated between apps is best. The music actually stopped for a few seconds then continued but the progress on the waves stopped until the song finished. Luckily it was time for speeches, hahahaha! Any idea what this may have been and how I can prevent it? VDJ already has access to Apple Music in the System Preferences.
Latest VDJ and Sequoia on MacBook Pro M3 16 GB RAM.
Thanks in advance!

Did you connect a USB peripheral or drive that you've never connected to the MacBook before or did you access a new folder that may be protected (e.g. folders under your home folder lile Music)?
Gatekeeper by default in more recent MacOS releases has protection on untrusted apps and minimizes folder access the the least possible (haveing to grant explicit request on first access).
I think that given you granted access to the device or folder, gatekeeper shouldn't bug you again.
However, I've also heard that with
Sequoia, Gatekeeper has become more stringent and its scope has been widened to data files as well if unsigned, has an unknown extension or the source of the file isn't considered safe - that scares me a bit as music files can come from anywhere.

Thanks so much for the message. I've had it running all morning and it's popped up three times so far. I checked Privacy and Security and I saw that VDJ does not have full disk access, so maybe that's doing it. I've enabled that so I'll keep an eye on it here.
Thanks!
Donny
Thanks!

For this problem
There is an option to assign a file type to an app that is trusted and that may resolve the issue (most music types already assigned to the Music app, but it might need to be done for FLAC files for example).
