Installing Multiple DAW's on one machine
hey Folks,
just wondering if there has or is issues having multiple DAWs installed on one machine. Not to be able run at the same time, I would probably quit whatever Daw was running and restart my machine before starting one of the other DAWS. I would like to add Cubase 9.5 or Studio One, it will depend on what Digital desk I get. thanks for any feedback cheers Rob |

Depending on how each plugin saves presets ones you create when in one daw might not be available in the other. I wouldn't try and have both running at the same time though. You don't have to restart the computer when switching daws - just quit say PT and launch the other daw. An oddball thing on my system is that every once in a while when I've used PT and switched to DP when I go to shutdown for the day the computer will hang. I have to call up Terminal and use this command (pay attention to the spaces): sudo shutdown -h now and when prompted enter your system password and in a short while the computer will shut down. If you don't want to shutdown but reboot replace the -h with -r |

Re: Installing Multiple DAW's on one machine
Indeed, the DAW software SHOULD be fine...BUT....(a great big BUT), do yourself a favor here and cover your ASSets:p. Assuming your system is working well with 1 DAW, back this up with a drive image, or clone your system drive to another drive(a good idea for all of us, anyway). That way, if things go sour(like they did for me), you can restore from the drive image, or swap the cloned drive in, so you can get work done. I never figured out why, but a co-install of Studio One(this was over a year ago) completely hosed my rig. I was able to restore from a drive image, so no harm done, but without that image, I would have been reloading every piece of software I own:eek:

Works here too:
Logic Pro X (Latest) Harrison Mixbus v4 & Mixbus 32Cv5 Harrison Mixbus (32) has been a wonderful go to for times when PT and the latest MacOS seem to be at odds. |
Re: Installing Multiple DAW's on one machine
As has been mentioned, you can have more than one DAW installed. Many of us use Reason and Reaper in Rewire mode inside Pro Tools, as an example. But, they can also be run individually as well, all on the same machine. I've run Reason and PT at the same time, too, in order to take advantage of Reasons ability to host VSTs since version 9.5, which Reason can't do in slave (Rewire) mode. But, you may run up against CPU limits.
One at a time is best, but having them each installed, hasn't, to my knowledge, caused any issues. |
Re: Installing Multiple DAW's on one machine
Pro Tools, Logic and Reaper here! No issues. I can even play iTunes/YouTube while Pro Tools is bouncing in real time in the background. What an age we live in (and what are the kids using this technology for? Trap music? :()
