I understand that Dorico and Cubase are designed to prevent Windows from going into Sleep Mode (I’m using Windows 11). Is there any danger to Dorico’s operation if I MANUALLY put Windows 11 into sleep mode?
I understand that the audio engine connection can be broken, but all that one has to then do is go to Device Setup and re-select the proper settings. Is this correct?
To put things into a different light: Yes, Cubase on purpose prevents the app from going to sleep. Imagine you are in a long term recording and while you are recording the app goes suddenly to sleep…catastrophic.
That’s why Cubase prevents the app from going to sleep.
Now, Dorico’s audio engine is based on that of Cubase and shows the same behaviour, even though in the Dorico use case it is not strictly necessary to be like that.
But you can put them into sleep mode by hand, of course. And upon wake up everything should be like it was before.
It is worth trying out yourself.
