I’m opening a bunch of those old Ashton Gleckman Cubase projects, the ones he shows in his Behind the Scenes series. Since they are so old, I found that it’s best to open them setting Cubase to Rosetta 2, because among other things, that allows them to open in a form as close as possible to the way they were created, in the native architecture at the time.
And that means that the tracks for which he used Kontakt 5 open in that version of Kontakt, and if I happen to have the instrument he used, then the track ends up being exactly the way he did it, or at least close to it.
But when I work on other stuff, I don’t want to use an emulation layer when I paid good money for a Mac Studio. That said, it’s a royal pain to each time open the app in the Finder, right click on it, check the Open in Rosetta option, and then uncheck it when I want to go back to the native version.
So I was thinking of duplicating the full app package and rename it Cubase Rosetta, so I can open one or the other depending on what I need to do. Would this break Cubase in any way, or even make it unstable?
