Does anyone have experience (the good, bad, ugly) in running multiple DAWS on the same PC?
 
I'd like to hedge my bets a bit and run Cakewalk by Bandlab to maintain my past 2-3 decades of projects, while also trying out a different DAW just to see how I like it (specifically Studio One which I bought in 2017 with the crossgrade offer, but haven't loaded it yet)
 
That way I can run in parallel for awhile until I get a better idea where Cakewalk is headed, and which product is going to work best for me in the long run.
 
Thanks for any insights you have on this!

Works just fine.  I have four on my computer.  I've moved from Splat to Studio One in Summer 2017 and absolutely love it, but I still drop in here from time to time and peek in on Sonar.

I'm using CbB/Sonar and Studio One for project work.  I also have Reaper, Harrison Mixbus and Waveform 8 for experimenting/learning new approaches.  I haven't had any problems with this setup.  I think it's a good idea to learn more than one DAW, you never know when your primary DAW is going to disappear.

I've got Sonar (3 different versions), plus Digital Performer, MixBus32C and Reaper all installed on my DAW PC. They don't interfere with each other at all.

Studio One, Sonar Platinum and Tracktion all coexist happily on my PC.

I have all the major DAWs on my desktop and 3 on my laptop. Never had a problem!

I have Cakewalk by BandLab (Along with SONAR Platinum), Studio One 3 and Digital Performer on my system and they all gat along just fine!!!

Hi:)
 
SPlat, Cakewalk Bandlab, Studio One , Cubase and Reaper coexist peacefully!
 
Working mainly in SPlat, mastering in S1, for the future I don't know, but Mastering is absolutely great in S1!

SPLAT, SONAR 8.5 Producer, Reaper and Harrison Mixbus all get along just fine.

Well, since we are on the subject (not specific to SONAR/CbB/Studio One) but I have Reaper and Samplitude also installed with no conflicts.  The only problem I have is the extra audio drivers Reaper in particular (and Samplitude) have installed which also show up in SONAR and CbB.  I see their usefulness, but I don't need them.
 
Kind regards,
